Johnny Jump Up Hearts -Guest Heart Thursday

 This is what we call Johnny Jump Ups.  They are yellow violets and grow wild in the forests of my childhood. 


I was delighted to find them growing in our local park!  They've cleared the brambles away and the Johnny Jump Ups have arrived in force.


They cluster around the trees and along the pathways near the creek....


...to the delight of my darling little niece!

Happy Guest Heart Thursday!

Unexpectedly Blue - Guest Heart Thursday


My tiny five-year old niece and I were on a heart hunt, when she spotted this unexpectedly blue leaf heart.  She skipped and pointed, danced on her toes as I took the picture.  We both exclaimed in wonder over the photo of this perfectly unusual heart she'd discovered for her Auntie Honey.  Ah, how wonderful the world is through the eyes of a little child.

Hearts for my Sister


This photo is dedicated to my darling Sissy. I clicked this photo as we walked together beneath the gold-clad trees. Even then, I knew these hearts were especially meant for her.

They are golden and brave. Just like my sister. They are filled with the promise of change to come, yet gorgeous in the beauty that is. That is my sister, beautiful and brave of heart.

Daddy Update: The surgeons gave the wound on Dad's head (which exposed quite a bit of bone) a one percent chance of healing without surgery. At present, the bone is completely covered and the skin around the wound only has about one and a half inches to go--if that! Dad is a walking miracle! Early next month, Dad will be going in for a neck check up--we are praying for the same miraculous healing in his broken neck bones.
.My siblings and I cleared and cleaned our parents home and property enough that they were able to return home last Sunday morning! They seem so happy. Next weekend we are tearing down a rotten section of their home--down to the floorboards, so I would appreciate your good thoughts and prayers for safety for everyone who will be coming over to help.

THANK YOU for your thoughts and prayers--they have meant more to me and my family than you will ever know.
