Blessings to all who come by!

Good morning friends.  I've been busy riding with my hubby on some of his Tow trips enjoying not only his company, but all the eye candy we see in VA.  It's snowed a couple times in the past 2 wks, however nothing that caused any problems.  More to come on Sunday. 

Peace & Grace

Our Father is in Control

Thought I'd share some of the little ATCs I've created for trading....it's been ages since I made some.  They are so much fun to do I just can't stop creating them cold turkey. LOL  Here are some of them.

I'm stilling knitting and crocheting neck scarves, cowls, and baby blankets...three of my friends are having babies in the next couple months so I'm getting them ready early!!

Just letting you all know that I'm sitting around twiddling my thumps...did I spell that right??? hhehehe~~~

My memory problems is getting worse so please forgive me if I say something more than once or leave out a word.  I send lots of good blessings for each of you as you go thru the days in front of you...remembering worrying about days gone by is just a waste of time...it's now and how we live each day from here on is what matters...giving and loving those in need not only makes them happy, but it sure does make our hearts as well...(((hugs)))

The sun is shining in my heart

Yesterday I woke with the second migraine in over 6 yrs.  I'd been troubled by them for the better part of my adult life making normal everyday living difficult.  I'm sure those of you who have suffered with them know what I'm talking about.  I would have them several times a week, nothing to cheer about.  Then when I was forced to retire in 2005 they left.  I suspect the pollen may have something to do it them...there's usually a trigger...how knows...Today I'm feeling the welcomed sunshine in my heart as well as on my face.  This is a photo I took a couple days ago after some rain showers...some trees beyond our fence, but still on our property.  Look how green!

See the one in the middle?  I call if the 3 in 1 tree...

This was taken on our Sat drive near our home.

There's nothing more beautiful that God's creations...

The Dogwood Tree

We drove thru Middleburg, VA where you can take all day to visit all the unique stores and shops.  This Church is called the Chicken Church by many...they have an indoor flea Market most days!!

I'll leave you with this...Blessings my friends and neighbors!!

Another little Whimsical painting for Etsy

Don't you just love little winter scenes???   I have more to create hope you all like them!!!

I have been thinking about Thanksgiving and what I am so thankful for.....

My relationship with God

My hubby

My children and grandchildren

My siblings each one unique and such a blessing!

Those I've met along life's highway and at Church!

My disability for it's brought me closer to my Abba Father

All the beauty our Heavenly Father has brought to our eyes...the smells and feel too!

Those we come into contact with that touch our hearts.

Even those who rub us the wrong way for it gives us the chance to love them just as they are,

and to share with them what God has done in our lives.

I'm so very happy for all those things are far more...

My bros

Our mom who's soon to be 93!!!

Blessed to have a roof over our head and a warm bed to sleep in even tho

we struggle to provide food.  God sure has provided so much!

I invite you to share all the things you are so thankful for too!!!

Blessings as we come closer to Giving Thanks for them all!!!

I'm sharing a couple photos

Well our weekend was very fruitful in that my hubby was able to get most of our home painted. Monday was supposed to be the day to finish up the front...but God had other plans which were indeed more important. He's showed us with wonderful rain since late yesterday, all night and into today!!! Our grass and plants are drinking it up like no tomorrow. I did a happy dance as well because those of us with wells really needed replenishing. Ok back to the house...I have to show you what our little BROWN trailer looked like before we decided to update, and brighten up!!! hehehe






We will be adding burgandy shutters in the front as well as adding the burgandy to the big and little star, and the top board just under the guttering too. We will be having guttering made next year...too much on the pocketbook for now...but I love it...Now to share some of what we are finishing up in the house. We've taken up carpet and replaced with Laminent. (would have preferred wood) sigh!!!
We've created larger beams in the ceiling because the old 1x4s just didn't look real..

We still have more to do...it's a time comsuming project when you aren't a carpenter..hehehehe~~ I give my dear hubby (Dewey) an A+ and then some for all he has accomplished over the past year...that and running his own business...he's my Super Man..hhehehe Can you tell I love him so???

Taking photos of flowers in the garden..

I love getting up close and personal when taking macros of my flowers...sure the bushes are lovely, but theres something about seeing them as an individual beauty much like each of us...we are all different which makes us unique. Beauty can be found in everything if you take the time to look...seeing a weathered face of the man that's worked his whole live outside perhaps farming bring a smile to my face. He may look weathered, but there's a wonderful spark in his eyes as he looks over the land. Gee my mind went off somewhere didn't it..ehehhehe!!! Back to my flowers...Hubby came home yesterday with 30 8" pots of discarded perennial daisies...well I can just see them next year blooming beautifully all in their own little space in the front yard. Such a shame for any perennial plant to be discarded don't you think??? I read recently where people are actually planting their yards with eatable plants instead of grass...just imagine walking out your front door, and stopping to pick several different lettuces for dinner salad. I have 3 different kinds of lettuce in pots on the front deck.

For the past 3 nights it's been up in the 90's way too hot to cook so I've prepared some awesome salads using cucs, swiss chard, lettuce all from the garden...tomatoes and squash aren't ripe yet. Add some protein (chicken,nuts,chickpees),celery,carrots,tomatoes and even olives and banana peppers and an great lite dressing makes for a wonderful dinner. Here are some photos of the flowers I was talking about..hehehhe!!!

He has Risen!!

Our Lord and Savior has RISEN on a Sunday so very long ago, and we continue to celebrate His awesome sacrific!! Join me in rejoicing and praising our Savior Christ Jesus....hugs!!!
