Forever Flowers

I came across this metal flower sculpture in a small town in Saskatchewan, a nice way to cheer up a soul during the colder months...

Happy Victoria Day Weekend






~HEAVENLY CREATURES~

Have you ever met a person that fulfilled you deep inside?
Someone who has never failed you and stands,
no matter, by your side.
Someone who gives from their heart and brings sunshine all around,
Always smiling and laughing, never seeming down.

Have you ever watched a sunset across the ocean shore,
And been filled with love and peace, never needing more?
Have you ever listened to the wind flowing restlessy
through the night?
And heard the angel's whispers helping you when you've lost sight.

Have you heard a song that moves you and sets your soul free,
And makes you feel wild and happy.

And feel so worthy inside, that you didn't care?
You see my friend heavenly creatures surround you,
So listen closely to what they say,
They'll bring you all of life's riches, as they guide you
along your way.

Lotus Touts

ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.

THREE. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have
or sleep all you want.

FIFTEEN. Say 'bless you' when you hear someone sneeze.

SIXTEEN. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

Respect for others; and

Responsibility for all your actions.

EIGHTEEN. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

NINETEEN. When you realize you've made a mistake,
take immediate steps to
correct it.

TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice

TWENTY- ONE. Spend some time alone.

I got this in and email and wanted to share.....

Me and the Boys Circa 1984


Jason, Joseph, Irene

Front Garden Thistle Creek


I would love to sit on the wicker in my front garden and watch the Cardinals and Blue Jays come and go to the tree outside my front window for feed...there where all types of birds that came; woodpeckers, finches both pink and yellow and humming birds...
In Spring and Fall the Canadian Geese would land in the Beaver pond at the back of Thistle Creek....We live there for 12 years

My mother Olga on her street Humber Trail



Olga has lived on this street for over 35 years.....
