heart on hill

We were lucky enough to catch this beauty on our way out of town last weekend, and reminded ourselves that we would stop on our way home to take a shot. 
It happened to be fate or perfect timing or just life because the farmer and his friend were in full steam enhancing this piece of green art when we returned. 
Thank you dear farmer and friend for your heart.

to You from Me

     White doves in my back yard, 

dahlias in the front, 

nectarines at the orchard. 

 Life is full of gifts.

                                                     Loving my new bedroom wall color...
                                            one big wall and a half wall have been re-freshed.

Stick With Me

This song has been swimming through my head for days.  

This couple is so super talented and spirited, I cannot get enough of their sound.

Peach Torte

I brought home a huge basket of local peaches from the farm yesterday.
 Now that Irene has me indoors, I am baking up a storm... until the power goes out.
This is a favorite family treat, takes a little time to make
and your entire house smells YUM.
