This N That

Marcy's amazing flowers


Reflections at the creek

Lil wanting us to throw her teddy

Marcy's bouquet that the hail knocked off

A strange cat in the neighborhood...male??

Remember When...

...the wrinkles were just on puppies

You could still put your toes in your mouth

you could chew on anything

chocolate made you high

And you were always laughing

Bring back my childhood, I would really enjoy it today!

Still Workin'

After Den, Andrew and I bought out Walmart, we returned to unload and work Saturday.

And you thought Bev and I were through organizing! We worked again today, mostly cleaning but a few more pictures were placed and a few knick knacks fine tuned. All laundry, dishes, floors, and three commodes are clean...it's an amazing feeling! I still have a few unorganized piles and places, but fewer than I did have.

I am playing with stir fry and no recipes. Had a lot of fun, threw in leeks, beef, three kinds of peppers, cabbage and water chestnuts, dashed some soy sauce, garlic, sugar, red pepper and wine. Toni and Bev helped with prep. Had brown rice as a side...or an under, which ever you prefer, with Mandarin oranges if you wanted them. Toni, Bev, Den, Andrew and I had a pleasant lunch, a real sit down meal, then we all returned to our various jobs.

Kubota King was out cutting trees out of the road up the hill with the help of grandson, Andrew. They are preparing fallen cedar to split for posts.

Marcy was planting some things but the garden was too wet to plow. She did not join us for lunch since she had already eaten. I think she was making Easter baskets for all the little ones.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and were able to be with the ones you love or wherever you wanted to be.

Chaotic Communing

Under age photos of children looking strange.

All that candy, the Easter Bunny left has sugared them.

Resurrection Is Around Us

I cry for the world, for all the disasters, all the trying times. We have been promised resurrection...where was it?

I walked and saw it every where.

From the dead things, life will come.

And His promise is fulfilled all around me.

The picture has changed from what we remember but the destruction also brings life.

The waters flow clearly and feed the valley and my soul.

And the earth nourishes us with its bounty.

With Seymour at my side, I see God's recovery plan. I open my heart and God's heals it.
