Merry Christmas, blog friends! I know you're wondering, "Did she finish painting her family room (finally....)??" (Nope!) * * * D oesn't this look like how our days are sometimes? Myriad things scattered about, unfinished. Trying to take a cozy, restful seat by the fire, but still that seat stays empty. We try to make things brighter, but the light strings don't quite have the power to make things clear for us. And we wonder how many coats it will take to cover up what had been there before, without splotches and unevenness. (Three may just be right--sigh....!) * * * We may have things unfinished. We may have "miscalculated" the use of our time. Or perhaps we were called away to other things for which we were needed, even if they weren't part of our plans. Even in our peaceful approach to Christmas, that seat of rest may be vacant. But the opportunity to "Be still...." doesn't always lie in a cozy sea
Where I write longer things....

Back in '92 we moved from NOVA to Erie, PA. We "did time" there for 8 months...all of it winter! We were there for the blizzard of '93 and then it snowed after Easter. (I cried!) I was still wearing jeans in June. Thankfully, my husband then found a new job in Chesapeake, VA. All I did that summer was sit in the sun!!!
Your pictures of the flowers look like they came straight out of a home and garden magazine....are you sure you don't have a professional photographer on hand?
I absolutely LOVED that last picture!!
REMEMBER...Call me if you need ANYTHING!!!! (I'll even answer the phone!)
