Grandma's Hands -Guest Heart Thursday


I found a rock heart and brought it to my darling little Gramma Gladys.  Her hands are so beautiful to me.  She has had such an impact on my life and my family.  I have known her for 32 years.  Wise and wonderful--with an infinite source of stories (all told with a New York Accent) and plum full of love--that is Gramma.  

She reminds me of a little gnome--all bent over with her hair in a nimbus of white.  She is only a month older than Dad and every time I see her she is a bit more fragile. 

Aren't her hands beautiful?  Those hands have taught children how to cook and sew and wiped away the tears of so many little ones.  She is amazing--If she could have patented all the things she invented to make life easier, she'd be a millionaire!

 I remember when my children had chicken pox.  My husband and I had to be away, so she tucked them into her living room and cared for them until we returned.  That was what Grandma did.  As a young Mom with three bouncing children under the age of six, she often came to my rescue.  Her wise words and friendship meant the world to me.  I am SO blessed to have Grandma as my dear Friend.


Her legacy is one of love--she has captured all of our hearts with her beauty and tenderness...not to mention a generous smattering of common sense and humor.  I love her so much I wanted to share her with you.

Have a lovely day, everyone!

Whimsical Wizard


Our weather has been so rainy and moist over the past three years, many trees are covered with trailing grey beard moss.  In my vivid imagination, this tree could be a whimsical wizard!  Grey beard moss usually grows near water and can look creepily mystical as it blows in the gentle breeze. 

Have a lovely day, everyone!

Bark Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

Sissy and I found this amazing little heart in the bark of a giant fir tree located along the road near the entrance to Leprechaun Valley and Bambi's Meadow.
