Beauty

Sheila posted a picture of her snapdragons in her garden.   How beautiful they are.   I smile because I can never pass a snap dragon up.  I want to make it talk.   Remember when you did that?   

Blue Velvet comes to mind.    We are blessed with such beauty in our lives.   

This little guy just makes you smile looking at him or her.  Reminds me a bit of Zorro complete with mask.    A daring darling of the bird world.    I have a tiny budgie bird that chirps at me when I am standing on the porch.   An old friend who sits on the fence and looks for bird seed.  

Jock send these pictures in this morning as he just returned from a fishing trip up in Washington State.   Jock didn't get his picture taken with the 'big' one but his son Dean did and it is a beauty.  I'd turn the picture up but don't know how . . .you will just have to bend a little and enjoy the catch.   What fun.  Hopefully Jock will be in with a piece of the prize fish and cook it up on the grill for Pat and hopefully I'll be invited.   I got to eat one of the biggest most luscious peaches I've ever had.   Big and ready to gobble up.  The kind where the juice dribbles down your chin and you sigh with the taste bud in full swing.   Thanks for sharing Jock.

Life becomes special when you have friends and neighbors who share.    Those with gardens come to mind and as they labor in love of growing their own special vegetables and fruits, the abundance becomes fruitful to all within their sight.     When they fish and hunt as well, it is heaven sent and in the sharing and caring it becomes a welcome gift from loving hearts.     I count my blessings and am very thankful to be a part of the 'receiving end' of such unselfishness.    I hope that you have such people in your lives, or are one of those who has no problem sharing and caring.    Life becomes alive when you can bask in the sunshine of this particular kind of love.    Hugs in the form of  fish, fruit and vegetables . . . see, I told you, there is all kinds of hugs and all they do is make you feel very happy and content.    Share your bounty and find out what it is like to have the sunshine smile on you.    Hugs to all.
