Haiku My Heart


To soar like a bird
Flying higher and higher
Fresh and rare the air

Happy Thanksgiving!





Today I join Meri for Share the Joy Thursday.   For I believe we need to find it in my life every day no matter the realities in which we live.  God is Good in so many ways even in times of trial.

Joy comes in many forms.
And this day has the potential of
being just as grand as
celebrating the beauty in
Giving Thanks.


must be open to it!

Thanks be to God!!!

Give Thanks


It's been a year for looking back and truly giving thanks.  I was able to visit my native Colorado not once but twice.  That in itself was a cause for great joy.  I gathered with family and shared wonderful stories of the past and new memories made. It is true that I have been truly blessed!!

~~~^j^~~~
Thanks be to God!!!

Visit The Little Red House and share in the beauty offered there.    The pictures all are an inspiration!

I thank God for the days of peace and quiet, the time for reflection,  the time to REST!

A gift not often treasured
Nonetheless a gift

The Alpaca




Today I join Meri for Share the Joy Thursday.   For I believe we need to find it in my life every day no matter the realities in which we live.  God is Good in so many ways even in times of trial.

Joy comes in many forms.
And this day has the potential of
being just as grand as
celebrating the beauty in
the alpacas at
The Woods



must be open to it!

Knitting is something my mother taught me when I was 12 years old and for that I am truly grateful!!
It brings me joy, satisfaction and appreciation of God's nature.  The yarn with which I am knitting this prayer shawl is alpaca from the WhiteViolet Center at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods here in Indiana.  The yarn is a blend of two alpacas, Basilide and Linden.  Oh!  The joy this brings!!!

The Apaca wool
Soft and gentle to the touch
Just as the Masters

Thanks be to God!!!

A Beautiful Friend



After the Summer of 2012 in all its harsh heat and arid days this lovely tree in all her majesty is gone.  She will be sorely missed by me when I visit The Woods.  She exhibited such strength.  But it is a reminder that even the strong will succumb to the will of God.

Thanks be to God!!!
