Mother's day...and this week...
what a great day...there were 19 of us...
6 mother's in all!!!!
four days later...
...heeeerrress Landon, my great nephew, with a trophy
from lizard hunting...so funny, he walked around
with the thing on his shoulder, FOREVER!
zack is in the background, another great nephew
showing his best face, and grandma cookie in the background!
these are the ones that have won the battle,
over the condo's...the red house has a pair of sparrows,
dwelling like little slobs with their nests hangin' out
half the time...
and the gorgeous turquoise headed swallows,
took up residence in the blue house...
they put up a fierce battle with some darling blue birds,
and won out...the swallows are dilitgent, like little century's

Her life's Tapestry
Life's Tapestry
Choosing the way with strong foundations...
the weft, many colors and combinations,
yarns, fabric and even metals.
There were soothing silks entertwined with
nubby noils, sometimes uneven with trials.
With pure thoughts she chose natural cottons,
colored with ideas, she dyed cloth for changes.
She wove intentional holes of opportunity,
randomly spaced, and combined different
materials to pique interest for all!
Colors kept changing with new ideas,
then tangled with indecision.
At times there were angry knots, followed
by loosened silk threads.
Parted from the loom, the tapestry tied and
knotted ornately, she knew her threads of
option remained...she could loosen, re-tie, or
re-dye at any time.
For now the tapestry is complete, with colors,
uniqueness...full of vision, textures...asking
to be handled and imagined, dreamed about...
boosting thoughts for others toward creativity
and change...our own personal options.
