Roxy

(she liked me to call her Roxanne)

i will miss you sweet girl

you were the kindest, most faithful girlfriend

you looked into our souls with your

big brown eyes

you could keep a secret

you walked with us through

life journeys

and you kept the squirrels away

you watched over us &

alerted us of things to

watch out for

i miss you so much it hurts

thank you for loving us

RIP

Lucy & Roxy

we loved each other unconditionally

thank you for being such a joy

you both will always be remembered

for the constant devotion you gave

our family

over 200 party favors made this week!

all wrapped around something sweet

being me is a full time job

she is my friend

this mother cardinal has been looking
for a week for a place to build her nest
with the help of the father cardinal
they've been taking twigs & vines
& string & leaves all around
the area under the pergola
truly inspecting the very large
norfolk pine
right by the back doors
& then today, alas
i spy her - sitting - on a nest
i guess they got it built when i wasn't looking

see the string hung on the trunk?

that's a string from one of my cards!

we are friends

she hung it there for decoration

i just know she did

 

bee safe, sweet friend

vintage photos

are such a interesting find

i do know these kiddos

do you?

often i find a photo at an antique store

& claim the folks in the pictures

as "relatives"

then, i often take a new photo

& make it look vintage

pretty fun

now these are ladies

with grace & style

i would bee friends with them

a "normal" person would think that
i could find a gray marker
with the right tip & shade
in this office!!!!
but it's just not happening

perhaps i'll go on to another project
cause the marker i'm needing does
not live here or reside in this town!!
done

in the news

John Bennett Photo
once again catching the
magic of childhood
through the lense of his camera
much like my daughter
capturing the sweet lives of her girls
in photos & text

 

my doll Susie & ponytail
how funny that today
many many years later
my hair is "fixed" in
the same exact ponytail!
HA!

Easter of my Youth
 

this was taken when we lived on South 9th
about 1954
(it more recently is known as the SAE house)
i was so fortunate to have 2 grandmothers
that sewed for me
thus always having the matching everything
full of fashion & fitting just right
i do nowever, remember not liking
the pins when i tried them on
with a photographer Daddy
& a Mother with great style
i was set to pose
'ashion
as my beloved granddaughter Harper says
who is the 'ashion princess
comes by it all naturally

Happy Easter to Everyone
He Has Risen
He Has Risen, Indeed!

Spring Time

Easter is Coming

a look at the blooming of spring

in my garden

 my favorite herb - rose geranium

bees love it too

now Beatrix Potter stands tippy toe

to bark & want to chase squirrels

why would she want to bee out in the

big world

when she can play in

the magic of the herb garden?

"oh, ok - you're right", BP
