When I first looked at this house and property I saw this view and I knew this was the place for me. My Pa used to stand here and look out towards the woods in the back and he would always say he spotted a dear, he also warned me that there was coyotes. He was a mountain man so he just knew those things. Today when I saw this and all the grass heavy with dew, I thought of his poem he wrote there is a line in it that goes….

Don’t take the sun away from me, take anything but the sun! I feel the same way! As long as I have this beautiful view to wake up and drink in the goodness of God everything is ok in my world. Have a blessed day!

Yes, now I blend right in with all the other flowers

Don’t you think?

Wildflower just being me

Wildflower just being me
blooming and growing
in the field till one day
someone said
I wasn’t blooming right
my petals weren’t the right color
that was the day they took my joy
it was fun being wild and free
till you pointed out I will never be
what you want me to be
it makes me sad you didn’t realize
how much I enjoyed growing
wild and being free
neither did I till now
I will just grow today
and smile anyway

Tiny little parasol

Tiny little parasol
Waiting for
the rain to fall
You shelter little
wildflowers
as they grow
they push past you
and thank you so
with a smile
for your kindness
as they grow
