Life is for LIVING
is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden
over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are
blooming outside our windows today.

Exquisite Handiwork of Nature
Some of nature's most exquisite handiwork is on a miniature scale, as anyone knows who has applied a magnifying glass to a snowflake.

Red Tree Bark
and then dead timber. The tree is a slow, enduring force straining to win the sky.

Bird Feeder Wreath
If you build it...they will come:
I was inspired by Appalachian Lady:
to make a bird feeder wreath.
I used two grapevine wreaths.
I rolled pine cones in peanut butter and then in bird seed
I rolled pine cones in peanut butter and then in bird seed
and also added some millet.
Stuffed some peanuts in.....
And they came!
I have one hanging on each side of my deck.
I'm normally not very crafty...and they aren't the best looking....
but they do the job!

Frosty Blade of Grass
Of the willow we say, "How slender!"
And yet to the soft grass clothing the earth
How slight is the praise we render.

Collect What is Sweetest
As bees gather honey, so we collect what is sweetest out of all things and build...
~Rainer Maria Rilke

The Night Sky
Night, the beloved. Night, when words fade and things come alive.
When the destructive analysis of day is done, and all that is truly important
becomes whole and sound again.
When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree.
~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

To The Point
If encouraged, it cuts a channel
into which all other thoughts are drained.

Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
This was my first ever sighting of a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker - January 2009 - Bisset Park, Radford, Virginia
They really do have a Yellow Belly :)
Not what we have but what we enjoy constitutes our abundance.

Reflecting

The true secret of happiness lies in the taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.
