Welcome to my small spot in the universe.
Through pictures and a few words, I hope to communicate to others the blessings we receive, even in the smallest every day things around us.
God is good!

Recycling


 As we consume loads of pickles, I always have lots of old glass jars..and lids.
To me, black lids look better...so out with the black paint.


Add a few little scenes, such as...
A couple of happy birds!

And a snow scene.
 
These can be used to store lots of things.
Recycling is a good (and fun) thing!
Have a great July 4!
Love,
Shirley

Rose

 
Sometimes when I think about working on my blog, my mind goes blank
That is when I go and take a picture of my sweet roses!
Have a great day..may you have peace and joy!
Love,

Early in the day...before the storm clouds arrived!
Love the blue, blue sky!

Tomatoes


This looks like weeds..but it is my tomato patch.
I have six plants.
I must confess..I have done nothing much to the garden since it was planted.
I am not a farmer.
These plants have no pesticides, and only some organic fertilizer added to them.
Nevertheless..I have lots of green tomatoes.
Can't wait until they start turning red,
Which will be soon.
I have my mayonnaise and my bread ready!!
 
 

And as an added bonus..these little zinnias came up..all by themselves.
I did not plant any.
There are several different colors..I only took a picture of this one.
 
The Lord has smiled on me...
And I thank Him!
Have a blessed day.
Love,
Shirley

Little Dress


In the back of my closet, I found this little dress that my daughter wore on her first day of school.
1974!
She was so happy to be going to school.
 
It tied in a big bow in the back.
At that time, little girls wore dresses more than they do today.
I made this dress, and I remember sitting and sewing it.
Life has changed a lot since 1974, still, sometimes it seems like yesterday.
I am glad I kept this little dress...
...the memories are sweet.
Have a blessed day!
Love,
Shirley

Trees

 
I was waiting on  my daughter to get out of the Dr's office..so I got my camera out,
and looked up through the trees.
 
The world is an amazing place.
There is always something to photograph!
Have a great day!
Love,
Shirley
