emi is happiness

Happy Birthday Emi!

One year old today
and falling in love with you
more and more every day!

wish you were here

little bursting seeds

Our garden is really starting to get going lately.

The other day I made a salad out of
lettuce, basil, green onions, and brocolli
and sprinkled it with flowers -
lavender,
rose petals,
calendula,
and nasturtiums
...all from our garden.

Food tastes so much better when you grow it yourself!

I've been introducing a simple verse before our meals that I found in Seven Times the Sun by Shea Darian. The verse she gave is a little longer, but I have gleaned out my favorite part:



"We thank the earth who grew this food,
from little bursting seeds,
And the Keeper of the Earth,
whose gifts fulfill our needs"

Auction for Carol

I am adding a new button to the side bar of my blog today in support of an online auction that will be going on June 14 -16...

and I am excited to say that I am working on a doll to donate to the auction!

The auction is a benefit for Carol Decker - a mom who has been through more than I can possibly imagine.

Please take a moment to visit their website and learn about this incredibly strong and beautiful mother.

Okay, I better go get to work!

where oh where could my little girl be?

The other day it became curiously quiet...

Luckily my little girl is smart enough to leave
a trail...

I think I shall call her Gretel.

the end.

Days like this make me want to live forever

I am so lucky!

I am so lucky!

I am so lucky!
