In general, I am a beach, summer person, but isn’t this beautiful. I would rather be seeing it out the window of a warm room with a roaring fireplace, but I also used to be quite a good skier, so I can appreciate and even embrace the beauty of a snowy day.
There is so much beauty in our world. Some days it may seem difficult to find, but do search until you find something that brings a smile to your face or a little joy to your heart.
I love to just put things together differently. I move settings around in my house. I buy grocery store flowers or silk plants and mix, match, and don’t match. Have a good look at your stuff and then create something unique!
I know that it is expensive to send flowers, so how about just a grocery store bouquet once in a while to say “I Love You?” That sure does it for me.
Another beautiful thing to do for someone? Why not take a minute and send a card? I really enjoy something in the mail besides an advertisement or a bill, don’t you? Well, if you like it, maybe someone else would too. I often think of things that way. Anyway, my church friend Patty is the queen of sending really thoughtful cards, and she has got me doing it too. Maybe if YOU do it too, we will catch on.
This is my back yard. Sometimes my lawn doesn’t look the best, but I concentrate on the trees which are just fantastic. I LOVE trees and I have plenty. Oh, in the winter most of the trees loose their leaves where I live and I don’t like that, but just like a little miracle, they come back every Spring.
I recently read in Better Homes and Gardens Magazine (Now called simply BHG) that color is the big new thing. Well, I am sorry, you guys, but I have been into that for as long as Alvin and the Chipmunks have had on their green, red and blue shirts. That’s quite a while too!
Anyway, the June edition of BHG has a big article on new uses for and new hues of COLOR! It’s really interesting and features a favorite of mine-Leanne Ford.
I love sail boat life. Something about it is just good for the soul. It makes one really appreciate God’s gifts and it is an inspiration to work to preserve those gifts. Water, wind, clean air, birds, and just that way of life that brings quiet and peace.
Our boat is currently at Annapolis and we love it there! What a lovely spot!!
I think that this is such a beautiful Still Life. In reality though it is only a basket, a little plant, a flower and a bunch of fruit. What do you think makes it beautiful. Well, I think that it is the arrangement. I love to put things together and will, in fact, take apart and rearrange the same items many times over. For me, the fun is in creating something that is beautiful to my eye and part of that beauty is simply because I like it. What do you think?
This is a super children’s book, but I love it also because the cover is one of my favorite life scenes. Happy children surrounded by healthy food-It doesn’t get much better than this, friends!
