~~~Gratitude~~~

Today's Gratitude is Dedicated to the One Who Loves Turtles!

The Guy that did ALL of this...with very little help from me!

Who's Favorite Flower is the Lupine

Who somehow can burn a big pile of brush on a super HOT day!?!?!

The One who bought me this Rhododendron 20 years ago when I used to miss the PNW

The   man who makes all my ideas happen! 

Like a garden sink with a hummingbird feeder outside my kitchen window.

He is like a Genie...my wishes all come true!

To the One who has loved me for 33 years and wears a matching hat!

Happy Father's Day!

It is my intention, each Sunday, to share something that fills me with Gratitude. 

I write ~~~Gratitude~~~ with the wavy lines to represent the gratitude ENERGY~~~~~! 

I hope you will join me and share your gratitude moments. 

~~~Amen, Blessed Be, Namaste'~~~

I am GRATEFUL for a Big Orange Tractor and the Guy who Operates the Beast!

Meet Agent Orange, that is the name of our tractor.  It was a big deal to get him a few years back $$$ wise.  But prior to his arrival my guy SNOW BLOWED our 350 foot driveway...it was nuts!  But the tractor got his name because after he arrived, it was like, we were afraid to use him...so I named him Secret Agent Orange...waiting for his mission!  Finally, the buyers remorse was remedied after the first snow storm.  Many missions later this tractor is a well loved machine.  It is like having a real Tonka toy!

Ok~~~Extra Stuff the Blizzard 2013

Out the front door yesterday

Our Driveway!  What Driveway?

Last night out the backdoor...Crazy Drifting!

More crazy drifting around Duckingham Palace.  Saved a lot on shoveling, grateful for that too!

All 7 ducks accounted for, they got a little treat of oats I sprouted for them.

More Plowing Photos!  My back feels so good!!

And Finally the day before and after spot!

It is my intention, each Sunday, to share something that fills me with Gratitude.

I hope you will join me and share your gratitude moments. 

~~~Amen, Blessed Be, Namaste'~~~

Busy!

 I have been quiet when it comes to the blog-a-sphere. Wish I could say the same about my life~  BUSY! week.  Un-decorating, celebrating my birthday and son's 18th!  A happy flush of Reiki clients, getting little loom warped (warped means threading the loom, not a warp speed operation or me going crazy).  My camera broke---that is a yikes for an Etsian/Blogger!  So new learning curve with the new camera. (full disclosure~last couple of blogs have photos from past winters...)  Oh yeah, winter!  It has been frigid here.  I have been busy keeping both wood stove stoked and keeping an eye on my quackers...don't want duck-sicle...they do pretty well if I  make them stay in and give them hay to snuggle up with.  Today is my first day alone in 2 weeks + at least until 3:20 when the boy (legal adult now!) gets home from school.  Hope to re-group a bit.  

I love my family and friends.  I enjoy all my interactions with my Reiki and sewing clients.  But I re-charge best ALONE.  Alone is like ahhhhhhhh, a fresh breath of air, time I wish to savor...but usually I go into screech mode.  I love that too.  Being able to work at my tasks without interruption.  I listen to the music that I love or an audio book...or my favorite...nothing!  So better get to it!  Daylight is burning! (it is pretty dark by 4:30 pm these days)
