Crisp Walks in the Park

-
Easy day, I am not having any deep thoughts today.  instead of taking a break because of this I am just going with a light subject. Enjoying the crisp chill in the air as I was walking in the park today.  For some reason, probably because when fall hits we all know that the dreaded deep freeze will be upon us too soon, the weather men are all warning us of how cold it's going to be this week with a teeth chattering looks on their faces.  Cover your plants, they warn!!!  All this ever means  to me is throw a scarf and gloves in the trunk of my car and bundle up, because a little cool weather will not stop me from getting outdoors!!  I truly love the outdoors and I enjoy when a little bit of chill reddens my checks while checking out the bright crimson leaves still clinging onto the trees.  I actually get a bigger smile on my face when greeting the "regulars", and they, in return, seem a bit perkier too.

God knew what he was doing when creating the seasons!!  It is so much like everything else we question in life...why do people become sick? Why is there wealth and poor? Why is there good and evil?   I believe it all comes down to the inevitable, if  we never had to struggle or feel pain or freezing cold we would never appreciate the good, the healthy, the blue sky days.  God knows what he is doing to keep us in check and it's at our bad moments that we have to believe this and keep the faith!!

The Introduction

-
Have you ever had an internal voice? No not the same as hearing voices. It's like an internal conversation with yourself. I first notice that I had this when I was a young girl watching the Walton's. Remember the one when John Boy said "Mama, sometime I just have to write". It was at this time the I realize I had to do what John Boy did, keep a notebook by the bed. I make list all the time and when something profound pops in my head I have to write it down, if I won't it will just stay there till I write it. I always have a need to figure out, WHY??? Why people do what they do is a big one. I also try to solve things. A strong faith is another part of who I am. I am in no saying that Iam perfect or a holy roller. I just have a real need to keep learning more of what the bible has to teach me. I know I will be a better more loving person by having this knowledge. I have had many trials in my life and I will share more as I go, it is going to take some ...

Creating My Backyard Bird Sanctuary

-
 Sitting on the screened in porch on my deck watching many cardinals.  This started my summer project  of my  backyard bird sanctuary.  Which then took on a like of its own. I proceeded to cut Back many weeds and honeysuckle bushes to clear a huge area, I then sprayed poison ivy and many other ground coverings. I then went to the local garden store purchased a cardinal bird feeder, gathered my St. Francis statue that I had stored at my daughter's home.  I then saw my vision coming to life. My next purchase was a garden bench and a bird bath.  I hung another bird feeder.  I was seeing all minds of animal activities, birds of all kinds but speed of  cardinals.  Of course many squirrels, a fox on a chipmonk which I save from being eaten when I opened the door. But it was the deer family who hugely entertained me.  The deer were bucks with eight points,  a momma and two spotted babies.  I started placing pavers in the dirt whi...

If This Isn't a Sign...

-
When I was in third grade and attending Catholic School, I had a nun for my teacher. She use to always tell great stories about prayer, I loved to hear her stories. They always stuck with me along with her way of praying. She believed in signs and that was how she knew her prayers were answered. She also told us that when ever she heard an ambulance she would say a "Hail Mary"; I have done that since third grade. I have planted alot of things in my yard and gardens and on the back hill I have a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary that leads to my gazabo. Many years ago I planted many daffodils and some tulips. The daffodils came up very plentiful but to my disappointment only one red tulip would come up and bloom, year after year, the one red tulip. I always thought of this tulip as a sign that my brother Mark was okay with the Lord up in Heaven. Mark died back in 1979, in a tradgic car accident. Last year I swear I only remember the one tulip blooming. Well, I know ...
