Blessings...

Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has many.
~Charles Dickens~


These are photos I took this weekend. Some are of treasures in my home.

They are not expensive things. What I treasure isn't really expensive . But, the possessions I have are priceless to me because of the memories attached to them. I guess you could say I hold the world in a paper cup.
Some are photos of nature that I took this weekend. I hope you enjoy them..


I have been thinking of my blessings all weekend.... It is hard sometimes to see them because of my sorrow, but I am trying to see... The first photo is of my tea cabinet. I love tea and drink it throughout the day. My Mom usually comes over for a cup every morning

The little wooden shoes John purchased for me last Summer before his accident. I think of him every time I look at them. We had such a good time that day. He asked me, "How many men go with their wives to antique shops?" I told him he was right. Most men like doing their own thing. But we always liked to spend time together. Some people don't understand that. They think it is weird to want to spend that much time with their spouse. But we loved it. We enjoyed each others company and liked to do a lot of the same things. He would go antiquing with me and I would go fishing with him.




I took this photo of a fairy I have taped to my red spice cabinet. I enlarged it because it is only about 2 inches tall.
The cabinet belonged to my Grandma for most of her life. It is comforting to use her cabinet. She has been gone for 7 years. I still miss her.



This is a nest John found for me at work. It was abandoned so he brought it home for me. It is a marvel. The bird used cigarette down to help line the inside of her nest.

The nest in the tree is a Robin's nest. I happened to look up and see the Robin go into her nest. I tried to capture her in the nest but she flew off.

The Alice in Wonderland piece came from Mom and is close to my heart..

This is the inside of the nest from John.

This picture of the tree leafing out was taken this week. I went out to lunch with my friend Anne and took this from her sunroof.

The Robin in the green grass I took while at the park with Elizabeth.

The sunflowers I picked two Summers ago. I love the look of dried flowers. The carnations are from John's funeral. I plan on putting them in a shadow box.

The sandcastle came from a sale I went to with my sister. I bought it for ten cents.













This Robin was in my driveway and let me get a few feet away from her. She kept peeking at me. I thought she was so pretty. Her coloring was just gorgeous.

This is the same Robin. I saw her pick downy from a plant, that is what is in her mouth. Her nesting materials...

I saw these beautiful yellow tulips while out doing errands and had to stop and take a photo of them. I love yellow..

I was so bummed out over all the rain this week. But I was trying to find something positive . The reflection of the trees in the water in my driveway greeted me one morning when I came out. I found my positive thing. It reminds me of an upside down faerie world...

There is a line that says, you are so deep down in my soul I don't know how to let you go.

That is how I feel about John. I don't know how to let him go....
