The Tree

Finding My Place

Work in Progress.............

Trees have always been one of my biggest inspirations.... trees and skies.... hands down! 

I can't even fathom what it would be like to live in a place where I was not surrounded by the beauty of trees.  I'm also in love with the symbolic nature of them ... one of strength, resilence and flexibility.  Many good life lessons there. ........

Today my daughter showed me the trailer of a movie she thought I would be moved by and I was.  Toward the end of  it I could even feel a small tear starting to form ... most of the time I'm just this big emotional  freak.  The last scene in this trailer just about summed it up for me.... nothing more needs to be said....

"How come your not so sad anymore?"


"Well, you have a choice to be happy or sad and I chose to be happy and I am happy"

A Morning in The Village

This morning I took a ride on the "Zen" bike through the village and this is what I saw.............

An absolutely gorgeous morning.  This was one of those days in which the gratitude cup was running over.  I sometimes forget how lucky I am to live here and to have the opportunity to experience this beautiful part of my world.

I just picked some rhubarb from the garden for a strawberry/rhubarb crisp I'm going to make .......this recipe is super delicious so if anyone wants it feel free to email me as I'd be happy to share

Both of the girl's boyfriends will be here for dinner tonight so I  I'll be throwing on my Martha Stewart hat
