~Farewell to Blizzard~

Today was a day filled with memories.

Today at about 4pm. The Riverhead Sea Animal Rescue and Research Center, released a dear friend to me, the green sea turtle "Blizzard".

Come back and visit.

~May your years be many and your days be safe~

~Journey~

I thought to myself how wonderful it would be to be riding my bicycle through this canopy of outstretched wonder and ending up at my little cottage by a pond. Where a carpet of moss cushions my toes and the fragrance of summer never leaves.

Ahhh, summer does not have to end.

Imagine and dream.

~Bliss~

~ A misty morning does not signify a cloudy day~

~Graduation 2010~ Celebrating Jared's achievments and accomplishments on a job well done!

~Magnolia~

~t.kramer 2009~

I recall the time when I planted this magnolia tree for my son Jared, on his tenth birthday. Hoping that it could endure the cold winters of Northern NY. Well, it now towers 12 feet high and each spring it brings forth it's beauty,fragrance and elegant flowers...

Jared, you have shown endurance and focus. Your persistence aided you in achieving the goals you set. You have shown strength and excellence. You have managed challenges and conquered the giants before you. You did all of this with humbleness and integrity. Within the roots of this tree lies its strength, its truck holds the branches that bares its fruit.

~You have made us all so proud and we Love you so much~

Congratulations To A Wonderful Young Man

~Graduation 2010~

~Two additions to the Garden~
~t.kramer~

~Socks & Mittens~

As I was admiring the garden,I noticed something moving.

To my surprise were two new cuties blending in so well.

I am watching them very carefully,because Mama keeps staking out the apartment where the bluebirds are living. There are three eggs and Mr. and Mrs. Bluebird are very doting and guarded. The squirrel's are investigating too and are getting dive bombed from the parents to be. The mourning doves are scouts for them, a pair of doves sit atop the tree and when the squirrel's come near they alert the father and he dive bombs them. Very entertaining and exciting.

~ New additions are on the way~

**A Day At The Peconic Fair**

Cool breezes, sunshine and goodies

Inspiration and friendships

Smiles and laughter

* A Great Time*
It was quite a busy day for the ladies. The weather was pleasant and refreshing, the scent from Jennifers soaps inhanced the air. Many antiques and pretties lined the walkway,and people came from miles around to see the talented ladies and their wares.
*Many Thanks to White Flower FarmHouse*

~Monet or Van Gogh?~

~Neither......Human~

Oil continues to spill in the Gulf, millions of gallons a day. Hundreds of sea creatures lay dead on the coastline from Texas to Mississippi, and there is no end in sight for their safety.

Creatures that are endangered,being wiped out minute by minute as they surface,inhaling and swallowing toxic oil. Their habitat is being destroyed and the effects are critical. The coastline is in jeopardy. Not because of human error,but because of ignorance and the "greed for green".

We need to "GO BLUE", we are the blue planet.

Is this what we do with a Gift?

Earth was created for us. Purposely formed and fashioned.

We can make a difference in peace. We can fight without being violent. We can have a say without casting judgement. We need to stand in for those that cry out to us. The creatures of the earth and the children of its future.

I am the handmaid of the earth, I broider fair her glorious gown, deck her on her days of mirth with many a garland of renown and while the earth's little ones are fain and play about the mother's hem, I scatter every gift I gain from sun and wind to gladden them

~Plant a tree~

~RENTED~

I am so excited. For the past 2 weeks I have been observing a pair of eastern bluebirds in my garden.

They have been scoping out the available houses and have picked the one bedroom.

The expecting parents have been moving in.

Dad-to-be, sits atop their home, as mom-to-be prepares a comfy and cozy nest for the babes.

What a wonderful sight to see.

There still are bluebirds, and rainbows.

And dreams really do come true.

So, keep on trusting and believing. And don't forget to observe and feed the birds while you're at it.

~Happy 21st Birthday Jared~

~Happy Earth Day 2010~

~The earth is the Lords,and everything in it,the world,and all who live in it, for He founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters~
Ps 24:1-2

Jared, you are a blessing to my life and you have my heart, forever.

You are loved with an unfailing love.

Happy Birthday, Mom

~HAPPY SPRING~

For me spring came one day earlier. The freshness and beauty of the season awakened me to many wonderous sights and surprises. I am truly grateful for this and hope that all will seek and enjoy the beauty of a new day. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

~Therese~

~Looking Glass~

~As Spring rides in on the breeze,let us seek out how we can bring some freshness to our lives and those around us. The Lord has given us seasons, the example of each one reflects our journey through this life. A newness is in the air. Rebirth,growth. A wonderous occasion to alter those things in us that are not pleasing. Just as the bud breaks through into the warmth of the sun,may you find comfort within as you

"make that change"~

~Mallard Duck at Pine Lake~Participating in the birdcount,was a wonderful experience. I have a better understanding about how climate affects our feathered friends,
And how important it is for us to care about these precious gifts.
Remember to take a few moments from your busy day to observe the wonders around you

"Tis always morning somewhere,and above the awakening continents,from shore to shore,Somewhere the birds are singing evermore"~H.W.Longfellow~

~The Bumblebee Cannot Fly~~ According to the recongnized aerotechnical tests, the bumblebee cannot fly because of the shape and weight of it's body in relation to the total wing area......but the bumblebee does'nt know this so he goes ahead and flies anyway~ "A hummbling lesson for us all"

~Special Delivery~ I received my "Cupids Kiss" Thank you

Lynn Lebsack, it is precious.

~TITANIC~ The Artifact Exhibition At Discovery Times Square Exposition
226 West 44th Street, New York City.
I journeyed back in time to 1912 and experienced Titanic's Maiden Voyage. I ventured through the reconstruction of the ship's interior. Viewing 1st class, passing through the cabins of the 2nd class, the bunks in 3rd class and boiler room. Gazing upon the personal items of people long ago.
Most magnificent,The Grand Staircase.
After nearly a century...Titanic arrived in New York. This post is dedicated to all those who put their talents into the craftsmanship of this beautiful vessel, to those who's lives were lost and to you who's hearts go on.
This is a must see. Exhibition ends in Feb 2010

~A bird does not sing because it has an answer, It sings because it has a song~

~Chinese Proverb~

So sing a song today, and don't let what you cannot do

interfere with what you can do. Use what talents you possess.

The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there, except

those that sang best.

~God The Artist~

God when you thought of a pine tree, How did you think of a star? How did you dream of the Milky Way to guide us from afar?

God, when you chiseled a raindrop, How did you think of a stem, bearing a lovely satin leaf to hold the tiny gem? Poem by A. Morgan

~As I was creating these roses today, adding each pedal and then forming them, rolling the edges and painting them with watercolor. This poem came to my mind. I stand amazed at how it only took God, six days to create all the marvelous wonders for us.

~Enjoy. Have a Blessed Day~

~Wind and sails were made for each other~

~If, instead of a gem, or even a flower,we could cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be as the angels give~

~ I have never lost my diary, or misplaced it. It is held in a special place. I believe that the Lord guides and gives understanding, but we have to be seekers, and apply that understanding to our lives and the lives of others. If not, life is empty~

~FROSTY CAME TO MOMS PARTY~
Although he was invited,

He had to stay outside,

The chill was in his favor,

So there he did abide.

~Happy Birthday Mom~

Wishing you a joyous day and

a blessed New Year! We love you!

"Once in a blue moon"

I, as many have often said that phrase. The last blue moon was in May 2007. There have been poems written and scientist have studied this phenomenon. Molecules of air are much smaller than the wave length of visible light. Blue light has a shorter wave length than red. Blue light scatters more than red. The effect Rayleigh scattering. This is responsible for what is called Tyndall blue. Another one of the fascinating wonders of our planet.

~And there shall be signs and wonders in the sky~

~Happy New Year~

~Be filled with hope and courage~

"FOR THIS VERY REASON"
