I Choose my Love
My heart is like a singing bird
Whose nest is in a watered shoot;
My heart is like an apple tree
Whose boughs are bent with thickset fruit;
My heart is like a rainbow shell
That paddles in a halcyon sea;
My heart is gladder than all these
Because my love is come to me.

I recently read an article in the food section of the newspaper titled, “How not to Waste Produce.” I chuckled as I scanned the outlined points, because I realized that I was already implementing all the listed suggestions!
Lilies of the Field
Think back on the people who have influenced you the most. Pull up their faces. Recall their imprints on your soul. These are the ones who go about living like “the lilies of the field,” simply and gratefully. These are the lives that mold and shape us.
Vegetable Quiche
What’s for dinner on a hot summer day, it’s the end of the week, and the fridge is almost empty?
Awe Inspiring Strength
I am in awe of my oldest granddaughter’s strength! She is a champion softball pitcher and batter. When she lets loose her fast pitch, I feel sorry for the batter on plate, much less her own catcher!
Why Dragonflies?
Did you know that one dragon fly can eat 100 mosquitoes a day?
Graduation
It’s the season for graduations and I’m celebrating two of my granddaughters’ high school graduations! Where has the time flown? It seems like just yesterday I was rocking and reading to them.
