Always There

Always There

Standing...In the sun...in the rain. On good days and bad. Standing...

Just waiting day after day to help that wayward straggler. Kinda like us. I do

believe I am here to help someone. Someone less fortunate than myself. My

hope is that sometime before my life is over I would have made the life of someone

else better. What will I do today? I will let you know.

Into The Sunset

Not paying attention to what is behind but looking ahead. What does

he have to lose he knows what is behind but ahead lies many exciting possibilities. I 

think I will just ride off into the sunset.

Close To The Beach

Close To The Beach

Boats are so interesting as they float gingerly upon the calm summer water.

They leave reflections of all kinds which make them much more appealing. 

I just love them don't you?

In The Light Of Things

In The Light Of Things

Sometimes when the sun lights up something it is as if

the hand of God is touching it. As though it is meant to be. You just stand there

looking in awe as the sun shifts and you realize that you have just seen something 

spectacular. In The Light Of Things

Fresh Picked

Fresh Picked

Yes Yes! You could go to the supermarket and buy those

firm un-natural tomatoes but you will surely regret it as soon as you get home.

They might feel all firm and plump but just one bite will tell you that you made the

wrong decision. Now take us for example...We are fresh picked. Fresh picked

from your neighbors garden with permission of course. Fresh picked the only way to go...

A Blue Hair Affair

A Blue Hair Affair

Guess what I saw today? A little old lady with blue hair...

That's right blue hair... I thought she looked so sofiscated and smart. I wanted

to be like her because I like it when people notice me... in a good way of course...

I went home and passed by a mirror and to my surprise I noticed it I have blue hair too...

I feel like a million bucks.

Black Sheep

Black Sheep

What does this mean I ask myself. My daughter Julie who is a Marine just

got back from deployment. On some adventure in a land far away she bought

me this cup. Black Sheep. Does it mean she thinks I am a black sheep or is it

her? Surely a question to ponder....It must be her and her rebel self not sweet little

ole me. Yes yes I know she must be seeing her inner self....Don't you agree.

30 Years Later

30 Years Later

Soooo...... as many of you know my husband and I repeated our

wedding vows last Saturday. It was so much fun...Kinda perfect in fact. 

I usually just post my art on this blog but thought this deserved to be shared. 

Hope you enjoy looking. I wanted to share because I feel as though many of 

my followers are my friends. Here is a glimpse of me and my best friend.

The Fence

The Fence

I tell you if it wasn't for this fence I would come over there right now. Thats right...

I really would do it. I see that green grass that is surely greener than what I have right here. Oh and by the way I bet those daisies are quite munchie too. If you could just hand them to me I will be quite content I guess the fence is really for my protection anyway. No don't open that gate....I am ok right where I am...

Walking In The Rain

Walking In The Rain

Well actually I wanted to say walking in the rain with the one I love....

Some of you may remember this song. However today Walking is the rain alone is 

the case. Isn't rain wonderful. The world smells so fresh and clean. Every thing just looks a little 

brighter after a nice summer rain. One more secret about me is that I really just love the rain. 

I was sitting on the front porch the other day when a down pour occurred. I got so wet that I 

was forced indoors. With sadness I left my place of thought and solitude. Oh Well! Another day...

Griz

Griz

Yes I am a grizzly one of the meanest bears on the planet. Just the 

mention of my name make men tremble. Sometimes I do eat people but that

is usually when they get to close like in Yellowstone. You know those pesky tourist 

poking around where they shouldn't. One thing though.....I don't eat children. Nope don't like

them at all.

Lettuce

Lettuce

Lettuce is not all its cracked up to be. Yes I now it does not have

a lot of calories but who cares. It is yucky. It says something about

it when the food you are eating is green. Oh Well! That is all I have so I guess I will just

have to eat it. Want some?

Sticking Together

Sticking Together

My mama and me like it here. We can go anywhere we choose but here is where we want to be. 

Happy we are because all we do all day long is roam around and eat all the grass we want and then late in 

the afternoon a truck pulls up and throws off some hay. I tell you I really like that hay but I can't have to 

much because it sure makes my belly hurt when I eat more than I should  but that milk....Now that is what I am talking about. Sweet warm milk....Nothing better....

Udderly I Love You

I was a little hungry and when she stopped to nibble on the fresh green grass I thought I would get a 

drink. I can eat grass any time but have to sneak some of that warm sweet milk when ever opportunity knocks. Catch ya later I am quite busy right now.

Yes yes! You caught my back turned and thought you would take that opportunity to sneak up

on me didn't you? Well I ain't like most cows. I have really really good ears and nothing much

gets past me. I could feel your eyes on me. You thought I wasn't looking but I don't need to look. I have a sixth sense about me and for sure I am too clever for you. Butt you say......Butt What?

We Might Get Wet

We Might Get Wet

A beautiful sunny day at the beach. Beach umbrella out just to 

protect us from the scorching sun then all of a sudden from 

out of nowhere the clouds roll in and in the distance we can see the rain pelting

down as it touches the far away water. Should we go or should we stay.

What I am trying to say is We Might Get Wet.

Getting My Feet Wet

Getting My Feet Wet

A day at the beach is soooooo much fun. I find that you can just

romp and play until your tongue hangs out....No literally. So much fun that

no wonder we can't come here every day. I would only weigh about a pound. I have

never thought of exercise in such an enjoyable way.  Wow! am I tired.

The Price of Freedom

The Price of Freedom

What is the price of freedom? To some it is greater than others. Some give their sons and 

daughters while others give their lives. While we celebrate with fried chicken and watermelon and listen to the pops and whistles of fireworks some people hear real explosives. Instead of their children screaming

and playing under the water sprinklers they hide in shelters in fear for their lives. We are so blessed.

We have so much but for sure at a price. Thank you soldiers thank you all who have served so that

we can celebrate in peace. Thank you to all you mom's and dad's who have prayed for your children...for my children who have gone far far away to protect us. Happy 4th and may we embrace peace...

I planned ahead and painted this dog for each of you to help us remember the Red, the White, and Blue.

The Dog I Want To Be

The Dog I Want To Be

The Dog I Want To Be... Where shall I begin. I want to be loyal yet kind and fun to play with. 

I want to be the kind of dog that kids beg their mom's to take home. I want to jump and play and

frolic among the flowers. I want to play fetch with some little boy. I want to romp on the beach and 

lay down in the shade of a big southern oak. I want to sit on the creek bank as my person catches fish.

At the end of the day I want to sleep at someone's feet and know that when I die I will go to heaven

because after all.....All dogs go to heaven...right?

Hiding In The Garden

Hiding In The Garden

I found the door open and headed out for a little walk. I didn't get

very far before I realized I was lost. I found a place in this garden where I could not

be seen so I hunkered down there. I decided that the best place to be was hiding out in the garden.

I watched as the bees buzzed around me and of course some beautiful butterflies. I felt

the summer breeze as it gently blew my hair in my face. I looked down as a hairy

thousand legged worm crawled by in the dirt.... Oops! gotta go

my person is right over there....Thank God I have been found......
