I took these yesterday, still rainy and everything still growing like crazy. It felt peaceful here.
Today I woke up to the news out of Aurora Colorado and my heart goes out to all the people there. In this crazy world sometimes I want to disconnect from the news and live in a tent.
i read about that news this morning, dixie, and i was on the verge of tears. and i had the same reaction. i should just wrap it all up and live far away where i would see practically nobody. i mean, what kind of thinking does that person have? there was one time i went to see a movie with my two grandsons and something like that entered my mind. so i had to place myself in between the grandkids so that i may protect them if anything happens. and everytime someone moves out of their seats or comes in, i panic. it was no way to watch a movie. my heart goes to the family of those people. and something like that happened, too, in our city last monday, at a barbecue meant for kids, and a 14-year old girl was gunned down by some coward thugs.
i'm so glad you have a sanctuary right in your own yard. i could've just sat underneath one of the trees and wept. i keep asking, what can i do? what can we do to make the world a better place for the young people?
we are both blessed to live in safe places and be surrounded by family members who love and support us, Dixie. news like this always is horrifying and makes us question so much. all we can do is our best with what we are given. such a beautiful collage; you have so much to be thankful for and yes, are surrounded by peace and beauty. hope your day gets better and better.
I certainly can relate to what you are saying. So sad about this senseless tragedy for no reason. This guy had no record. I'd be interested in hearing what made him snap. Way too many of these incidents lately! Anyway, your collage illustrates peace, nature, love and happiness so beautifully. A lovely offering for today.
It was very sad news. But I do believe there is also a lot of good out there. I wish the news reported that more often. You have a beautiful yard with some lovely flowers there.
I'm loving your collage ...the flowers are gorgeous. Your rain has kept all of them so alive and healthy! I've always loved your home and yard ... you know that, of course. Today, especially, it's a refuge for peace and tranquility.
