This last weekend I got to spend the weekend with my grandkids. We had a great time and some winter fun. This little one is known to my heart as Lady Em. Sometimes when I look into those deep blue eyes I transport to a time when her mama was her age. It is a strange and wonderful
I went for a drive today and found this grove of trees irresistable. These are the types of photos that I could spend hours playing with. It was altogether a wonderful afternoon spent taking pictures. And to top it off my wandering lead me to coffee and a much needed visit with a good friend.
We went outside to make a snowman yesterday. The snow was not quite sticky enough . It was warm so we played for quite awhile. Reese made a comfy spot and enjoyed a well deserved snowman nose.
One of the things I have always loved about coming home is the willows at the bottom of the driveway. In the winter they give a red glow contrasting with the cool snow. This is how they look now with just a few leaves stubbornly clinging.. the new catkins will be pushing them off. Soon I hope.
I went out early to take pictures of the clouds. I was hoping to get a picture of the sun coming up . As it turned out I was about an hour before sunrise. Cold and tired of standing I asked myself "what the heck are you doing out here?' And the answer came.. When I was a single mom with five children I would have been so envious of the woman who had the luxury to stand outside and take photos for an hour or two everyday. So instead of cursing the cold I went and got some mittens and gave thanks. It looks like the universe said "You're welcome". But now I have another question.. Have I used my responsiblities as an excuse all this time. And where will I go , what can I acheive , now that I am starting to realize that I am the one holding myself back?
