A Pile of Puppies


What could be more delightful
than a pile of puppies
on a blue blanket
with their sweet mama?

I See the Moon


I see the moon
and the moon sees me.
The moon sees the one
I want to see.
God bless the moon
and God bless me.
And God bless the one
I love.

Remember?

'Tis The Set O' The Sails


My mama stitched this sampler
so that her children
and grandchildren
would always remember,
no matter what winds were blowing in our lives,
'tis the set o' the sails
and not the gales
which determines
the way they go.

The way we set our sails makes all the difference.

A Way to Welcome Beauty


There is a little vase
secured in Junebug's dashboard
right beside her steering wheel.
It is an invitation to
focus on flowers
and a way to
welcome beauty.
What a wonderful idea!

Daily Duty. . . Daily Delight


This is Ben's dog, Berklee, in his chair.
He was uninvited to come back to college
with Ben for spring semester,
so he is living with us.
Dear Berklee.
For me he can be
a daily duty
or
a daily delight.
It's all up to me.

O God,
as I begin Lent,
help each daily duty
lead me to
delight in you.

Love at First Sight


I saw this great rug today
when I stopped by Victor's,
my husband's vintage shop,
to take him some banana bread
at lunchtime.

And now,
it's in my office!

Peace Is Blooming


Our beautiful peace lily is blooming.
I pray that peace will bloom in me too.
