Finnegan’s Snow Day

Being 3 months old, being a puppy, having your whole world turn snowy overnight…Finnegan having an awesome day!  Hope your day ahead is full of adventure and new things.  Slainte, Lisa

Having scaled the snowy mountain, Finnegan holds fast, legs braced.

"I know that grass is down here somewhere!"  Finnegan digs in vain.

Finnegan surrenders to the comforts of a warm couch and a nap.

The Best of My Life….

Ireland 2_0011

Happy in Bray

….is this man.  He’s been part of my life for so many years, great years.  Today is anniversary #26, but we’ve been together since middle school.  So many years, so many memories, so much love.  Blessings abounding.  Hold tightly to the ones you love; these ones are the best of life.  Love, Lisa

The Oncoming Storm

Beautiful Anguilla

Beautiful Anguilla

I much prefer this kind of storm to the one that’s coming our way tonight.  This storm had warm winds, rain that cooled hot skin, and turbulent green-blue water.  This other one, Pax, is supposedly going to have lots of cold white stuff that just keeps coming to the tune of 8-12 inches.  And I know that I should have a good attitude, love whatever comes my way, but I’m just not there.  So I’ll do my usual distraction technique and look at pictures like this, pretend, dream, and before I know it, Pax will be a memory.  For those of you who love snow, my apologies.  For those of you who are feeling like me, happy dreaming.  😉  Slainte, Lisa

The Way We’ve Come

The way we’ve come is sometimes fair

Sometimes filled with pain

But always there is Someone who

Will walk beside, before, after, always

He is real, He is love, He is there.

Fairytale Flora

Growing in a magical garden, bigger than life, set apart for a time while we walked there…flora from a fairytale.   May your Monday be green and growing, if not in colours then in love.   Slainte, Lisa

*All pictures taken at Blarney Castle Gardens, County Cork Ireland.  Although a huge tourist attraction, it is definitely worth a visit even for the gardens alone.  🙂
