Taking time to focus on the blessings God has placed all around me.

Cold Blue Heron








As the snow came down in sheets of white to the ground, this blue heron did his best to stay warm on the dock next to Lake Coeur d'Alene.

Thank You Veterans



Thank you to all who have served, and are serving our country, for preserving our freedoms and rights in this country.  You are appreciated for all you sacrifice for each of us.  The families of each service member, and the sacrifices they make are appreciated, as well.  God bless each of you!

Spud












This is my parents horse, who thinks he's a dog.  He was rescued from an abusive situation, but is now quite loved and spoiled.

Masterpiece in the Sky






I love to look around and see wonderful paintings by the Master Artist, like this painting in the sky a couple days ago!

One of My Favorite Places

I love this area, well except in the Summer because it's overrun with a lot of people.  However, the other three seasons, this is the area I go for a drive, to think, to enjoy the beauty of the lake and trees.  In November and December this area is full of people, too, but it's to watch the eagles so I happily join in the crowd then!

Beautiful Sunset

My husband and I were on our way home a couple nights ago when we were blessed to see this beautiful sunset.

Taking It All In






She's enjoying the ride, taking in the views.  Do you stop long enough to enjoy life and see the beauty around you?

Today's Garden Harvest







Today I harvested five varieties of peppers, a handful of green beans, a zucchini, a spaghetti squash, five varieties of tomatoes, a cucumber, and two handfuls of the sweetest strawberries I have ever eaten.  Thank you Lord for providing!
