A Whole Bunch of Everything!



Amongst my Virginia Creeoers,that I have to say are looking pretty good this year, sits yet another ornament that I truly love. I have a bamboo pot fountain that runs into my pond. In behind the bamboo pot fountain I have bamboo and 2 hilarious Budhas that make me smile, because they have such sillylooks about them. Around my small pond I have a bunch of wild flowers and two great big round fuzzy ball things...i will have to take a photo to show you. I love this statue because it is like the overseeer of the yard. I find the eye is just simply drawn to it. It demands your prescence with no words spoken. It is one of the simple things that I can enjoy. All my little treasures remind me of various times of my life when I have made changes. I ask myself how did a partygirl, university dropout, artist, be damned with the consequences, hardworking , funloving girl get from the time that now seems foreign to me. And now I am content to be in my yard drawing, painting, just sitting and living a much more rewarding life and lifestyle. The rest are memories that I can visit later. Can you guess where i will be today if I feel up to it...Yes your right, I will be taking in the beauty that God has allowed to grow this year. All simply my treasures. Sorry if I am all over the place with this one...I hope you get a chance to smell your flowers, be in the fresh air, and to just enjoy and smile. If not smile anyway. It could change your day and someone elses!Throw any guilt right outa their. Be and do what you can today! By doing we can achieve our goals!

  2. I like your Buddha very much... doesn't look silly to me.

    re name writing... unfortunately like a silly buggar I didn't keep the web address, but how I found it was ~ I typed the question in google ~ "how to create signature"

  4. Holly, I got this Budha from the same friend, I also got a statue of St. Francais of Aseais?,which is the patron saint of birds. It is beautiful, can hardly move it. She gave that one to me for my birthday one year because she knows how much I like to watch the birds...I got that from my father I think. P>s. I am out of stamps. xo

  10. Cinner:

    Francis of Assisi and he is actually the patron saint of all animals, not just birds. If you look him up, you'll read lots of interesting things about the man. He was quite gifted when it came to animals and carrying about them. It's one of the ways he touched the Divine.
