Stillness

 The stillness of winter has arrived.  It brings quiet and moments of reflection.  Every season holds beauty... 

this time of the year is no exception.

Even the wildlife stop to pause and are still.

 As the snow blankets the earth.. stillness blankets my soul.

For a little while I too will cease to strive and surrender to the lovely stillness of winter's sojourn.

Will you come join me?

Have a peace filled week.

God Bless

More

 In keeping with this month's challenge (as I posted previously) sharing a few more delights.

This peony has to be one.  I planted it a couple of years ago and each spring it does not fail to deliver the most lovely blooms.  For the life of me, unable to remember the name.  As you can see in the above pictures it has different colors...soft yellows and peachy tones.

It certainly makes me want to stop and savor its beauty.

Something else making me smile is the "bunny cart".  Spent a bit of time yesterday planting a few pansies and snapdragons so he would not be lonely.  He appeared much happier with the extra company. 

     Finally this little fella (a thief but a cute one) who has been stealing all the bird seed from the feeders.  He does not work alone...there are several gang members...believe have counted at least 6 at one time.  Thinking we may be outnumbered :)!

Well thank you for letting me share a few more delights with you.  Hope you are finding some as well.

Hugs

Contentment

In the midst of life and all that is happening in the world finding contentment may be a challenge.

I am discovering it in the quiet of  a lovely afternoon of rest...









In the beauty of the moment that gives me time to take pause...

and find delight in a furry thief that makes me smile.

How about you?  Are you finding contentment in this time and place in the world?  Hoping you are.

Have a blessed week.

A Visit

Yesterday someone paid me a visit.

                                                               

                                              I served him up some of these vittles.


He just might become a frequent visitor.





Hope you  will too.

Have a Blessed Sunday!
