~~Mosaic Monday~Macro Monday~~


Can anyone deny the beauty of the eyes of this doe?  These are the eyes of the mother of twin fawns.  On a day when she was taking time to rest, she looked up into the lens of the camera and did not blink.  She simply allowed the picture to be snapped and went on resting.


Here is mom with the twin fawns.  I wish I had gotten a picture of them scampering about the yard here, bouncing as they went.  They are most sure-surefooted.  What a privilege it was to be allowed to enter into their world for just a few minutes.  Even to witnessing fawn nursing.  Oh my, the glory of God's creation!

Thanks be to God!

I wish I knew what the name of this bush is.  It's beautiful and exotic and the bees seemed to love the blossoms.  For 3 days we were able to find adventure in the South and appreciate all it has to offer.

Retreats are always a rejuvenating experience at the Archabbey. It's what I have been doing now for five years. It seems, for me, an appropriate way to enter Spring after a long winter. This year though the weather was entirely different than in past years. This year the weather was mild and it really did seem as if spring was knocking at the door. In years past there was snow on the ground and you still had to bundle up to walk to the Abbey Church for prayer. No so this year.

What a difference a year makes...Though my picture is not so much "macro" as it is and illustration in what I was saying about the difference from year to year, I hope I will be forgiven.

Plaster and Paint!
The mudding and taping is done and the first coat of pain is on the walls!  The wallpaper is ordered and with any luck at all the floor will be started next weekend.  AND the cabinets are here!!!  I'm looking forward to the day when I might have a pretty mosaic again!



 Playing with the picture shows an all new side of the paint tray...

 Was a lot of fun!!!!!

The tree is decorated and the lights are aglow.  
Still savoring the wonder of this Holy Season.


It seems like a long time ago now but every time I hang this and other ornaments that Ron and I have made out of porcelain I recall the joy I had in making them. They were gifts to family and friends.  To me they are still treasures of the wonderful Christmases past!  They instill in me the hope of Christmases to come.

I found today in the garden a beauty that is spring. The petunias are at their pinkest and the roses are most delicate. Mums mingled with the rose brings meaning to the word community. The African Daisy and the little oak sprouts are so vibrant. You'd never know it was fall, but for the changing of the trees.  And the moon last night certainly gave no hint of the season to come.  Hanging on to the beauty of the moment for as long as I can.

~~*~*~~

The other day I took a walk and try as I might I could not find a single, whole acorn.  Now I'm sure there must have been some out there but I couldn't find one.  I know the squirrels gather them but the ones I found were caps and nuts so who will gather them.  Perhaps they just broke apart when they fell from the tree.


This morning though after church, Ron found this little fella.  I think he is handsome.  He carries himself with dignity and grace.  He doesn't seem to flaunt his color.  He doesn't seem to know how happy he has made some one. 

The lonely acorn
Master of his own destiny
Will be a  grand tree

Thanks be to God!!
