A philosphy, a way of life, a way of seeing, a way of being
- a smile in my heart to give to each I meet today
- two strong arms to help accomplish the chores of the day - yet
tender, too, for hugs for the grandchildren
- Columbine plants to put into pots to take to the Farmer's Market
- Hen and Chick plants that will get potted, too, to go to the
market
- a pale yellow curtain I found tucked away that will be made into a
gardening arpon
What do you have in your HAND?

A smoothie to nourish my body as I chase around my chillin's today.. a needle threaded with embroidery thread as I work on a new design... a box to fill with our treasures to move with.. an aspirin to take away the headache that comes from being woke up at 4:30 am by 2 wittle rascals who decided they didn't want to sleep anymore..
Blessings, Debra

A tender word for mother.
A wooden spoon to stir her cookies.
A clothespin to finish hanging the laundry after the cookies are in the oven.
A needle to sew my sisters wedding dress.
A prayer that everyone I meet today has as wonderful a day as I'm having.
Blessings.
Let's dance in the rain and play in the puddles under the rainbows. |

Hi Linda-
What a wonderful post! It made me smile through and through-
I have in my hands-
My darling, mischievous daughter
My families well being
Two strong arms to accomplish the chores of the day and to comfort my daughter.
Lots of fresh laundry clean and dry to cloth my family.
A smile to share

What a neat thought!
- zucchini in my hands today, to make bread and cake.
- clean laundry
- vintage feedsack fabric to start a dress with later
- thoughts of the weekend to come, camping with my family, and visiting an aunt who meant a lot to me as a child and who is now nearing the end of her life

- a scrub brush to clean out the green compost bin
- library books to teach me about preserving and root-cellaring
- a chef's knife, to chop and prepare meals for my family
- my apron, to dry my hands with after all the chores get done
- a teacup, a grin, a laugh, and happy farmgirl thoughts :)

A forkful of Banana Cream Pie and the computer mouse. Oh, my!! Wait.......
Good night above! We are having a heavy thunderstorm and lightening just hit our grill in the back yard!! Yikes.
Other than that, I have had my hands full of my son's belongings, packing them up to move them under our house to stay until he finds a "permanent" place in the Army.
