JFK 2012 and Now....

 

This JFK bust belonged to my Mom, who passed away 12 years ago.  I brought it down here to Florida with me when I moved here then to care for my Dad, who went to join her this past May.  I have decorated him in many different ways over these past 12 years., many of these can be seen in years gone by on this blog.  This year I decided to dress him up again for the holidaze.

It's Beginning to feel a lot like Solstice ...

Views from my Red Garden and Recommended Reading....

I will be forever Grateful to my Cousin Dawn
for the gift of these books.

"Everything is possessed of personality, only different 

from us in form. Knowledge is inherent in all things

The world is a library, and it's books are the stones,leaves,grass,brooks,

and the birds and animals that share, alike with us,

the storms and blessings of Earth".

Luther Standing Bear, Lakota

as quoted in Becoming Rooted by Randy Woodley

"The Eyes are beautiful Gifts 

yet there are more things that

are unseen than are visible".

From Mary Summer.Rain

Woodsmoke Autumn Reflections

 

"A chain is only as strong as it's

weakest link" Because trees know this

Intuitively, they do not hesitate 

to help each other out.

From The Hidden Life of Trees

By Peter Wohlleben

It got down to near freezing the past few
nights so I have had to cover my more
vulnerable plants.
