Painting

Painted from a picture my husband took while on a walk at the Rodale Institute.

Helianthus annuus

Sunflower Lyng's California Greystripe




Looking at the giant stalks following the path of the sun light reminds me of visiting my Grandparents farm in Upstate NY. It seemed that there were always fields of bright sunflowers every where we went.

PESTO!

I made pesto last week with my new food processor. I had been using my blender (sigh!) which is very tedious and not a joy at all when it comes to making pesto with a garbage bag filled with basil leaves! My brothers MIL gave me the idea to freeze it so I highly recommend that. Little miss enjoyed the end results!

Photo Shoot continued...

Photo Shoot

I manipulated most of these pictures one way or another. Taken with my Sony Cyber-shot digital camera.

Martha Stewart

I know some of you are rolling your eyes as you read the title...but stay with me for a minute and I'll explain. Yes I know she went to jail and that certainly put a bad taste in my mouth concerning the woman but I can't help it I'm drawn to her network of ideas and beautifully crisp and mouth watering pictures and well for the most part she has perfect taste. My collection of Martha Stewart magazines started back in middle school (yes I actually brought them to school much to the dismay of my fellow schoolmates) and although I no long get her magazines I do check her website from time to time.

So today as I look around my cluttered house that completely overwhelms me I stumbled upon a wonderful reminder via Martha Stewart.com 6 Things to Do Every Day.

everything but

getting late
listening to rhyme
taking in breath every note
focusing on everything but
I must wrap myself around
something smaller than you

Highschool Senior Yearbook Picture

I'm a day late but I couldn't resist posting these two pictures of my Nana. Isn't she a dish? My mom told me she had just turned 80 yesterday. No I can't believe she is 80?!?!? she seems like a young 60...

The Cut

First real haircut. Just for the record the hair dresser that cut her hair said she did better then some adults. I'm proud of my little miss.



Great face No?

Deep Dive

There are strange, soul depths,
Restless and vast, unfathomed as the sea.
An infinite craving for some infinite stilling.
And, lo, His perfect love is perfect filling.
Lord Jesus Christ, my Lord and my God,
Thou, thou are enough for me.
Frances Havergal

The Best

As I was putting little miss down for bed tonight she said she wanted to pray for Jesus. I said he doesn't need our prayers but we can Praise him and thank him for being so good to us. She follows this with ...Yes Jesus is the best. I couldn't agree more.

Diary of an Old Soul

Help me, my Father,in whatever dismay,
Whatever terror in whatever shape,
To hold the faster by thy garment's hem;
When my heart sinks, oh, lift it up, I pray;
Thy child should never fear though hell should gape'
Not blench though all the ills that men affray
Stood round him like the Romans round Jerusalem.

George MacDonald
