Do not despise...

…this day of small beginnings.

We woke up to evidence that our friend Mr. Winter stopping by last night. 

And he must have sat right here…

Well even Whoys was smiling about that.

And on other matters of small beginning...

Mr. Squirrel Nutkin and I have come to a peaceful agreement. He gets to eat to his heart’s content off the deer block feeder I place in the woods. And I have to let him live. 

Yes there is peace and joy in our kingdom today.

Employee perks

Getting ready for the snow…I know it’s going to be any day now… cause I have a praying Mama :)

I spent the afternoon playing in the studio with Lil Ricky.

She loves it out there as much as I do.  

Her reasons however for loving the studio 

are different then mine…

Besides all the treats she gets for working hard for Mommy, she loves finding her bed among the props after a shoot, 

for a full tummy nap. :)

Yes, we have some great employee perks here!

98 fold return

Had a mother tell me today her daughter was failing reading until she started reading to my therapy dog. 

Now she has a 98!

 Mom says it’s due to the fact she practices so hard because she wants to do good when she comes to read too Barnabas. :)

We can truly be light in our community’s in such simple ways. I feel blessed God lets me be part of something so awesome.  

Here’s Barnabas hard at work this morning.

It’s a tough job but somebody’s gotta do it…lol

Child of wonder

Autumn sunsets are so beautiful and amazing. But what I find more beautiful and amazing is the wonder of a child enjoying God’s splendor.  

I could watch her do this for all eternity. 

Revenge

Well Squirrel nutkin is taking out his revenge on me for having his tree cut down.

He has moved into the front yard right outside my window.

 To taunt…

 and taunt…

 and taunt…

 and taunt...

 and taunt me.

 He also brought along a little friend....can you see him?

 He is like the Arnold Schwarzenegger of squirrels.

I’ll be back!

His first hot dog.

Waylon couldn’t wait to get his hands on a dog as soon as he arrived at Grammy’s house today. :)

 So Grammy had to give in and let him maul this one.

My handsome prince is 7 months old already…can you believe it?!

I had the joy of babysitting him today. And we had lots of long talks about his awesomeness! :D

The Queen...

now has a throne.

Long live the Queen!

So my awesome son-in-love caught my vision for the stump chair. He worked into the dark the other night to finish it.  The dog yard lights up like a football field so no worries…he still has all his fingers intact.  The next day my neighbor asked me, "what were you doing last night?" I told him “you know, you always cut the body’s up at night”. LOL.  I know, I know ….Like my Richard would say…

woman you’re not right!
