Happy Memorial weekend!   Thank you to those that are serving our country in the armed forces.  We pray for your safety and well being.  We remember those brave hearts that have served and lost their lives for our great nation.  And we remember all the other loved ones in our lives that have passed on to a better place.  We miss you and honor you this Memorial Day.

Hopefully along with all the BBQ's, camping or whatever else happening this weekend, we remember the real  reason for Memorial Day.  Take a minute to think about those we have lost, and ponder the great memories in our hearts and share them with others.  Then maybe top it off with a good prayer.  God is always a good note to end on.  Amen?  The beginning and the end!
God Bless.

We are getting a wonderful rainstorm tonight.  I love the thunder and lightening and the smell of fresh rain.  A hint of Mother Nature's boundless freedom.   It is even better from the safety of our home.  It reminds me to thank God for our home and many blessings.

 I remember when my oldest son, Thom was little, we lived in Elizabeth, CO and our house was up on a big hill and we used to watch the big storms roll in off the mountains.  We had a full few of the Rocky Mountain ranges west of the Denver area.  It was a great place for the lightening shows and to listen to all the rumbles and strikes.
 I used to make a big deal about it and say, "Wow Thom, look at that, how cool was that one!"  I was trying to make it fun and exciting so he wouldn't be afraid of the thunder.  And it worked!  After he started watching the storms with me and seeing the beauty in them, he wasn't afraid of the thunder.  All my kids love the thunderstorms.   Lets just pray no tornadoes to follow any of them!

  And I know the trees, plants, flower, farmers and ranchers are thanking
God for the rain here in this part of colorful Colorado!

Here I am....sorry such a delay between paintings.  I admire the artists that paint everyday.  That is my goal.  As my kids grow, I will grow with my art and will be able to contribute more time to my artistic passion.  All in good time.  They need me now.  They are my blessings!

Speaking of blessings...ice cream is right up there most would agree.  This is no slacker cone!  Enjoy!

I am having fun planting trees and flowers also.  This time of year is full of new beginnings.  In more ways than one.  God is good!

This is an older painting I did when I first started playing with watercolors.
 This horse seems to be misbehaving a little.
This cowboy is in for a fun ride.
It has been a busy spring so far.  I have lots of yard work that I am busy doing.  I LOVE it.  It is good for the soul to be outside, one with nature!
Happy gardening!

A lot of other flowers have to be grouped together.  But a sunflower, is different.  They seem to have a mind of their own.  You always see them in gardens, big and tall like a single tower.  They are like the overseers of the garden.  The guard of the yard you could say.  Or...I could be looking to deeply.
Either way, sunflowers are one of my favorites.  They are a stellar beauty.
Happy day!  Thank you for visiting my blog.

It's becoming that time of year!  My husband bought half a watermelon the other day, oh man!  It was soo good.  Nothing beats a great big juicy piece of watermelon!  Reminds me of summer, family and fun!
Here is a photo of my daughter Nevara from a few years ago, enjoying her slice heaven.

Happy days!

Happy Easter!  I just finished this painting last night.  I named it "Stop and Smell" because I think we all need to be reminded to slow down and take in all that we have and be thankful each and everyday.  I try to stop and smell the roses and I thank God for my many blessings.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
