"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets you in the way of what others think..."

My photo
if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

january skies~




"Winter,
 a lingering season,
 is a time to gather golden moments,
 embark upon a sentimental journey,
and enjoy every idle hour."
John Boswell

 
Jan. 27

i know
 its probably not too nice of me
 to share these
with some of you

as many of you
 are recieving a plethera
of white little flakes falling from your sky


but here
where i am

it has been nothing short
of rain drops falling
gray and cloudy days


so when one sits in the wee earling morning hours
and sees her sky turn a brilliant shade of pink

what else is she to do


isn't amazing
that no matter where you are
or whatever you are doing

when the sky lights up

you stop

you pause

to see what it will bring


though thee air is still cool and crisp

i am quickly brought back
 to those memories of long summer nights


i am renewed

filled with a bit of hope

knowing not too long
that warmth will be once more


so from my little home to yours

may your day
where ever you are
be filled with only
warmth and love

a much better way to start my day than the usual cup of coffee! Thank you for sharing Mother Nature's gift with all of us ...

The colors ... our evening skies are similar and I am always pleasantly stunned by the beauty of it all ... especially in austere winter!

I loved your previous post ... we just received my Cowgirl's passport which required 3 documents to obtain (hers is not labeled a delayed certificate, but I guess it is and so we had to include naturalization certificate and adoption decree) - it was such a victory to finally get it all done!

Have a glorious day dear friend ♥

What a gorgeous sunrise! And thanks for your comments re fishing on my blog today. Yes, I have no problem eating fish or meat where other people have done all the distasteful work of killing and preparing it. I only get squeamish when the middleman is eliminated. I know, I know, I'm a "hypotwit"!

XXOO~~♥

I'm one of those surrounded by white. I woke up to two feet of snow on my deck, but it was beautiful. The bird feeder was covered too. And I haven't seen my car in two days.

But I love your pictures. I enjoy all of Nature's expressions.

Absolutely gorgeous! But you're right - it's a bittersweet experience as I now look out my window into a sea of white.

Oh I love when the sky turns into such a gorgeous living watercolor! Your photographs are as enchanting as your words always are, I think only nature could make that a possibility! And the trees!!!! There's so many of them! So divine! So divine! OMStars...we were in the mid-70's yesterday and the news just said we're going to be in single digit wind chills tomorrow morning! Our weather keeps flip flopping here.
