a song of inspiration.......

i can't seem to get it out of my mind ........... i think probably for a very good .... reminder kind of reason ................................. yesterday as i went to pick up one of the littles .......................... a song i have heard before ............ left me with much soul searching ............................ the line in the song (sung by Jason Crabb) ............ "you don't have to walk on water ....... it's how you walk on land " ........................................ my prayer ................. Lord, may i be worthy .............. upright in my thinking & works .......................... keep my eyes focused, on how i walk on land !...................................

where do you hang your bonnet....

this past week ............ has found me wanting to find new places for things ......... you know how it is ......just those times we would like to freshen up an area and move it to another ...................

we spent the morning cleaning up the yard .........cleaning flower beds ........burning the trash ............
but now ........................... i am just walking through the house ..................... thinking oh ......how about this here ................ and this there .................................. and you ................. where do you hang your bonnet .......................... !


..................................................... i am blessed !

a touch of sunshine.....

just a few shots of the beautiful sunshine pouring into our home ............

 i love the way, that just for a few special minutes, the ray of sunshine just touches my soul ..........

 on a coverlet hanging on the back of a chair .....................................

 or as simply......... as the lock on the door .........................................

.......................................... i am blessed !

hanging the rugs.........

trying to get caught up on a few things around here....................i have been very neglectful ................our house was filthy ................. stacks of things to finish everywhere...................... so after cleaning the house and shop today .............................. i hemmed and hung these rugs ....................... 1841 just changed locations ..................... and the sheep and heart rugs have been finished forever, just not hemmed ................. today was the day .......................... and now to move on to "many" others things that need finished as well ................... it is time to get  busy ............................

 and accomplish something around here ............................ i am starting a list and checking it off .............

it is time after all ........................... don't you think ! ......................................................
................................... i am blessed !

..............

this is what i have been doing for the last week ..................................... stick around & stop back in for a visit, as i am back home again ..................... when i gather myself, i will be back with you ......... let's brainstorm some ideas ......................... it always helps to bounce ideas off someone else's brain .................. mine seems to still be in "Grammy mode" at the moment ........................

............................................... i am blessed !

prayers.....

all i can say today.......... let us all keep the victims of these horrible storms in our prayers ........... i still have not heard from my friend Gina and her sister Tina ........... may they be safe ..............................
