~~Mosaic Monday~~

May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun
And find your shoulder to light on,
To bring you luck, happiness and riches
Today, tomorrow and beyond.
~Irish Blessing

This weekend we visited the gardens of some very dear people who allowed me to take pictures in their gardens.  This is the just a sample of the beauty I found there in.

~~~^j^~~~

Thanks be to God!!!

Visit Mary at The Little Red House and share in the beauty offered there.   Lisa at  Macro Monday  also has much to offer.  The pictures are grand.

I would also like to remind you that Wednesday is Adventure Tour Express.  Be thinking about the adventure you would like to share on our journey together!

~~Bad Haiku Friday~~

Commercial Endeavors

~~~~~

Commercials today

Lack much ingenuity

Kids can do better.

~~

Commercials attack

Our intelligent nature

Or our lack thereof.

I could go on and on...the cynic in me is creeping out...but enough said.   Wishing all a grand weekend as I'm off to The Woods for a weekend of reflection and community with The Sisters and friends. 

~~~^j^~~~

Thanks be to God!

Please visit Laura at Catholic Teacher Musings and read more "bad haiku's."  Offer your talent and skills as well.  It really is a lot of fun!

--Tea Talk~~

The mere chink of cups and saucers tunes the mind to happy repose. 
~George Gissing, The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft

I'm having...Lipton Bavarian Wild Berry tea.

My teacup is...delicate and familiar as I use it often.

 

I'm feeling...rested.   The morning is cool and the air is crisp.  Looking forward to a wonderful day.

On my mind...is the anticipation of this weekend's journey to Saint Mary-of-the-Woods.  I will be meeting with Sisters of Providence and Associates with whom I can share my Journey of Providence.  We gather, often monthly, and this month we will spend 2 days at at The Woods.   And, oh, how The Woods will be transforming with Autumn knocking at the door.

The Woods in Summer

Hoping all will be as refreshed and ready for the day as I feel!  Wishing you all well!

Thanks be to God!

Now won't you join me and visit Ruth at Celebrate Friendship is hosting Tea Talk at her house? Share a cup of tea or a cool refreshing drink with us.

~~Adventure Tour Express~~

Thanks be to God!!!

Now it's your turn. Please post an adventure we can all share and then link it here for all to see.

~~HOPE~~

The last two days I have seen something I was afraid I would not see for a long time.  I must preface this by saying I am allergic to the blessed bee.  The good thing is that they seem to be more interest in eating than bothering me.

It has been said that the are on the decline and because of that our crops, flowers and trees will suffer because there are not enough to pollinate.  So that is why I am hopeful.  You see in two different places hundreds of miles apart I saw the bee in action and not just one but lots of bees.
