He knows he’s beautiful!

He knows that I know he’s beautiful.

So, in a rare moment of vanity, Mr. C posed for me. A star is born…

She said that that was what star quality was – that little something extra. Well, you’ve got it!

Norma Maine, A Star is Born (1954)

Wilderness Wednesday: Love Grows

We bought our humble abode twenty years ago this September, and that Fall Big Guy and I planted red tulip bulbs. The squirrels have tried really hard to decimate them, and they nearly did.

These hardy beauties fought back and are flourishing again.

They are a profound reminder that despite all the different seasons, the good and the bad, a little love can make things grow strong and beautiful.

Love is a flower that should never cease to grow. Nurture it and it will outlive you. Neglect it and it will wilt away and die.

Happy Wednesday!

Friday’s Tune: Pieces

Friday's Tune, red

Red’s album, End of Silence was released in 2006, just 1 year after life took a miraculous turn. Before 2005, I endured one of the darkest times in my life. It felt like everything was under attack and every area of my life was steadily falling apart. Little Guy was only just one of the blessings. I couldn’t see then how God was working to refine me and draw me closer to Him.

Big Guy introduced me to the band, Red, a few years after this album was released and this has been one of my favourites since. I’m a long way from being “whole”, but I’m a lot closer than I was a few years ago, and I know to Whom I should run.

Happy Friday!

It’s the first Monday of the year, and I’m certainly feeling it. How about you?

I just spent a frustrating hour trying to deal with my cell phone provider and a trumped up bill. It’s not the first time. I was especially pleased when the phone number the online guy gave me to call, wouldn’t accept my number and advised me to call my cell phone provider, and hung up on me. So how did I cope without completely losing it?

My very sweet and creative sister-in-law knows me SO well!

Happy Monday!

Even if something is left undone, everyone must take time to sit still
and watch the leaves turn. – Elizabeth Lawrence

In every walk in nature, one receives far more than he seeks. – John Muir

An early morning walk is a blessing for the whole day. – Henry David Thoreau
