What makes you feel happy?
What makes you giggle?
What makes you smile?
What makes you laugh?
What makes you full of wonder?
What makes you dream?
I’m waiting for a sign
watching you
wondering
happy when I feel near you
I giggle at your stoic ways
I smile when I see you,
do you notice
I laugh when I hear you laugh,
do you notice
I wonder if you wonder anymore
I dream, I want to be your dream
do you notice
I’m waiting for a sign
watching you
The perfect sky to me. The air cooled tonight and I was pleasantly surprised to look up from my walk to see this. I was standing at the pond taking photos and had to take this. I didn’t plan on taking any tonight, perfect surprise to finish your day off. Today was an awesome Monday! I’m thankful to God for that for my family, my friends and for the wonderful blessings! When I count my blessings I could you my friend!

skipping rocks with you
mud between my toes
pants rolled up to my knees
I never will forget
skipping rocks with you
we’d pile them up so high
and each kur-plunk you’d sigh
I was only to your waist high
skipping rocks with you
now Pa a time or two
lost his balance cause he knew
it made me laugh to see
him lose his place
cause the only place he’d stand
was close so I could grab his hand
I never will forget
skipping rocks with you

Meet me in September
among the pine trees, at the cabin
I’ll be waiting on the porch swing
there for you

Buttercup roses like frosting to my heart
I get all sweet and dreamy
when you gifted me this creamy
fluffy yellow rose, was it merely in jest?
I don’t know but part of me pattered
and my thoughts they seem all scattered
if perhaps, you might just put me to the test
Seems my smile it is all cheesy
and my breath it’s kind of wheezy
makes me wonder have a caught a cold or cough
Either way it’s such a nice thought
and my Pa a proper man taught
me to thank you very kindly for the gift
Buttercup roses like frosting to my heart
I just mowed and this came up overnight.
It doesn’t look like a mushroom but it’s on the side of the yard where it could be.
I’ve decided I think it’s an umbrella for my frog friends! Happy Monday!
All of my life to fit in
I have always felt alone in life, always. I can’t remember a time every feeling a part of anything. I don’t know if that is because of my un-bringing or because I guard my heart from anything that threatens to hurt. In so doing I believe I have missed out on a lot of life, family, friends and living because I am afraid to feel a connection to anyone but Alex. However, my sweet Uncle Gunn burst through all my defenses with his loving kindness and understanding of this phobia some Antells have holding everyone at arms length. It’s hard growing up an Antell. There were unspoken family expectations and when you feel like you don’t measure up it was easier to disengage then to suck it up and join. I’m not a joiner, one that goes along with everyone else. I sit back and watch that is my nature. My sweet Uncle today has shown me something so BIG….Do you see this wildflower?
Yes my Uncle has a love for wildflowers, sunsets and sunrises and all of God’s beauty and I too share this love! You see I thought I was doing this all alone but what I didn’t know is God had my sweet Uncle doing that same thing in Wisconsin.
Something about that slays me. I have said that a lot lately because for the first time in my life I am allowing myself to love and it hurts so good!
