February 27, Varmit Huntin’

She’s my huntin’ dawg.

She’s good at huntin’ rabbits.

And them squirrels will see their maker soon.

Weird things have been happening to my speech lately. She was down there a while, I was getting a little worried. I was starting to imagine all the horror movies I had seen in my life…eeeeek.

Posted on SOOC Saturday.

I Am…

February 23, Lucky Hands

The girl has this weird ability to find four leaf clovers where ever we are. And when I say where ever, I mean WHERE EVER.

At the park.

At the grocery store sidewalk.

At the neighbor’s yard during a picnic.

Anywhere Sam I am.

I can’t wait until we see some green so that she can start finding them again.

This is my entry for this week’s iHeartfaces photo contest.

Maybe I’ll get lucky?

February 22, The Last Of Winter

Posted on Little Red House for Mosaic Monday.

This is the last winter mosaic I am doing this year, so help me God.

February 21, Follow You

“You live among the least of these,
the weary and the weak,
and it would be
a tragedy for me to turn away.”

“On my knees You have supply,
When I was dead you gave me life,
How could I not give it away so freely?”

“And I’ll…”

“Follow You into the homes of the broken,
Follow You into the world,
Meet the needs for the poor and the needy God,
Follow You into the world.”

Follow You by Leeland

These words have been on my heart all morning, from the minute I woke up, into my daily walk and to the writing of this post. I will take it that God wants to affirm the reason why I am here, to serve and follow Him.

And I haven’t even been to church yet. I better bring a kleenex.

Posted on Spiritual Sunday.

And I just found Sunday Citar  at Fresh Mommy which I like very much…

February 20, In Season

This may be the only thing in this cold season.

February 19, Me Three

This little succulent is the third of the little cactuses that I bought. I fell in love with the colorful pots. The color gives me joy on these gray winter days.

And though it’s been a fun and learning week, it’s also been exhausting so I’m very glad it’s Friday. And that’s a huge understatement.

So I’m going to rest up this weekend because man, I gotta lot to say.

February 18, Urban Chic

I love the city, at night, in the winter.

I particularly love this city, Washington DC, with its majestic buildings, chic nightlife and beautiful people.

I can see where politicians can be both allured and disillusioned at the same time. After all, politicians are people too.

February 17, So Far So Good

After three weeks the only sign of impending death (morbid I know) is a tiny little shriveled appendage at 11 o’clock. I may be turning a corner in this quest for a green thumb.

Thank you for coming along on this little death watch with me. Thought I’d cheer you up today on this Morbid Wednesday - only at LifeSignatures.

For something totally different, I’m at Vision and Verb today.

February 16, A Celebration Of Motherhood

When I search for inspiration I almost always I turn to my hard drive for photos. I took this image of my little girl while at our Valentine’s Day lunch. It’s perfectly her. She’s extremely shy. One who speaks softly in a crowd and will answer if addressed but who will rarely start a conversation.

Her friends will say that she’s quiet. Her brother will say she has the loudest scream he’s ever heard. She commands her horse with quiet determination. And she is the apple of our eye.

Yesterday, I read this essay by Marcie Scudder on Vision and Verb. We are ”your daughter’s mother and your mother’s daughter”. If you read it, it will lift you.
