Quiet Reflection Sunday




One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song,
read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were
possible, to speak a few reasonable words.

Johann Wolfgang von  Goethe



I do love Sunday's, it is a time to relax, let your hair down

and for one day forget all the worries and the problems.
A day to settle my brain, give thinking a break and just enjoy.
I love to spend time with some of the elderly people 
in my neighborhood. Have a cup of tea and listen to their 
stories. We live in such a hectic world so it is a good thing 
to take a trip down memory lane.

Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday.

Do you like to hear stories from elderly relatives or friends?

You've been criticizing yourself  for years and it hasn't worked.

Try approving of yourself and see what happens.

The Dye Garden

This year my garden focus will be on plants to use in dyeing fabric, paper and yarn. I will achieve this goal using specific plants that when added to a dye bath add color. Along the way I will record from beginning to end my results on this blog. I am going to use seeds and plants to make the dye garden. 

As things stand right now I have used plants I've collected from the fields plus all the flowers my neighbors send over. I do not get fresh
bouquets but rather the dyeing bouquet. I love them all.

Hope you stay tuned, or perhaps try it at the same time!

Quiet Reflection Sunday-Mothers Day




Mama was the greatest teacher,
a teacher of compassion,
love and fearlessness.
If love is sweet as a flower,
than my mother is that
sweet flower of love.


Stevie Wonder


There are all kinds of Mothers in this world. May you all be blessed.

Quiet Reflection Sunday-Easter

                                               HAPPY EASTER                                             






Awaken there, the morn is fair,
The birds sing free:
Now dawns the day,
awake and pray,
And bend the knee.

Quiet Reflection Sunday



Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers to-day;
And give us not to think so far away;... keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.

Quiet Reflection Sunday

For man, as for flower and beast and bird,
the supreme triumph is to be most vividly,
most perfectly alive.
