Beautiful Donna at Made in Heaven is hosting a photo challenge today please check out the other participants. I forgot to write this last night!
I can't seem to get her link to work on my post but her site is on my favorites.
Why do we love certain houses, and why do they seem to love us?
It is the warmth of our individual hearts reflected in our surroundings.

The gazing ball and ivy photo I took in my Mother's yard. The ivy was a present from my sister and I many years ago. It was a small piece that Mom planted on a Red Bud tree stump. It has flourished.
The Gnome and the flowers are in my front yard. Elizabeth got the Gnome for me a few weeks ago. I love it...
I captured the photo of the Mourning Dove in my front yard. She let me get within a foot of her. I just adore her sweet little face...

Hi Nita,
ReplyDeleteI wish I could take pictures like you do. They are beautiful, just like your heart that I see coming back. I have gazing balls in my garden and I love to get lost in them. I continue to think of and pray for you daily my friend. Asking God to pour out His joy all over your days to lift your spirit. I love you.
