Such a pretty pot of daisies!

Thank you for getting us started on the right path this morning, Rus.

Saw where you are getting warmer weather.
Hope it lasts for awhile.

Wishing you a week of love and a day of hugs.

Love Week

[JustAmy]

Thank you for sharing that story and wonderful poem with us, JOHNN.

Condolences on the loss of your friend.

Wishing you a week of love.

[jaycee]

How precious, Rus! I love those little stories! Those are the important things of life!

Amy just announced this week is dedicated to Love!

[JustAmy]

Looks like I got in a hurry this morning and forgot to not only put the date on the opening Graphic but I also missed adding that the Graphic was made by MamaBear.

I’m sorry, Lori. Thank you for this Wonderful Opener to start our Week of Love!

[jaycee]

Oh how I love this ‘picture of love’ and the music to go with it. Now, I’m gonna start and get all sentimental and misty-eyed! But its okay! Leading up to Valentine’s Day! I received a valentine in snail mail yesterday...very surprised! LOL!

[jaycee]

I addressed my other post to Amy and Billie. Thought it was one of her’s. Lori and Billie do such beautiful work, its best not to guess! Got ahead of myself.

Lori, it is very lovely and I thank you very much.

Kitty, that is such a darling gif. It looks like its stuck on my computer and gently blowing. How cute!

MORNING SUN

As the sun rises in the sky
the beautiful purple and gold light
the dew rising forming a cool mist

The morning sun rise
beautiful as sunset
waking the morning sky

The animals awake
birds sing joyously
looking for a breakfast treat

bunnies hop around in the mist
playing a game of tag
enjoying this morning sunrise

Gold and yellow light
shinning above the horizon
waking all of life

a young deer stretches
in the warmth of day
starting again in a happy way

as day comes
the sun reaches for the sky
forming a breath taking sight

silence of the land
the sound of nature comes
the morning joy fills the day with fun

as the sun rises
high up in the sky
the promise of a new day comes

Thank you, (((Kitty))).

Not a problem, jaycee. As I told yorkie (who was embarrassed to have made the same mistake last week), I am flattered to have anyone think that one of my graphic creations was done by Billie. We have a little different style, but have both learned along the way from each other and by trial and error. But Billie will always be one step ahead of me in the graphic department. ;-)

Have a lovely day, ladies.

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Meg.
YES!!! on your rain. We had some more rain early this morning.
Like you, we need the rain.
With the crazy environazis, California is going to lose our agriculture.
Not enough water for the fish and the farmers and the fish come first.

That is a great celebration image. Thank you.

Enjoy this week of Love. Hugs.

[JustAmy]

We always say we are going to have a big family reunion but we never seem to. The family is getting more spread out every year .... Oklahoma, Florida, Alabama, Idaho and Oregon. How did these cousins wander so far from FResno? :)

[jaycee]

You both do lovely work for the enjoyment for our eyes and hearts. And you are too modest...! Thanks again...

[yorkie]

Thank you, Amy. SO tender and beautiful. Here's another favorite:

How Do I Love Thee?
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of everyday’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

I’ll be back .... I need to re-boot. Sigh .....
