August Break 2017 :: Day 25 - Pretty Weeds

While pretty for sure,

I had no idea what this was.

A friend tells me that it is ajuga, 

not a "weed,"

but that it *does* grow like one!

Grinning because our backyard certainly bears that out.

August Break 2017 :: Day 23 - Sign

When Abide was my word last year, 

I created this sign and taped it to the back of my office door. 

Whether it registers that day or not, 

each time I close my door for lunch 

my faithful little road sign is right there, 

quietly, gently guiding me home.

August Break 2017 :: Day 17 - Daisy

🌼

Even when dirty and a little weary,

(and those around her have already passed),

this little lovely, 

just like her big sisters,

has her face turned towards Grace.

Hope.

August Break 2017 :: Day 16 - Favorite Color

Being a lover of pretty much any shade of blue, 

this "Mariner Blue" color of my chair 

especially soothes my soul.

August Break 2017 :: Day 10 Lavender

Joyful wee companion quietly steadies, 

encouraging and cheering me on 

from her special sideline spot 

on the warm wooden heart table 

right here next to my chair.

August Break 2017 :: Day 8 - My Eyes

Then and Now

A fun aside?

When our 2-year old nephew saw this photo

as his mama was scrolling thru on her phone,

he surprised her by calling out my name!

We both thought it was so sweet

that he recognized me from just my eyes.

And then he wondered out loud

where his uncle was...

Smart little guy, that one!

Because, usually, where one of us is found,

the other is not far away.

I do love him so!!

August Break 2017 :: Day 4 - Where I Live

As best I can in each moment 

(because some are ease-ier than others), 

I want to live from my heart.

August Break 2017 :: Day 3 - Roses

Roses, 

both flowers and the color palette, 

call to my soul, 

especially when blended 

with angels and hearts.
