It has been awhile.  Busy week!  This is a painting I did from an old photo of a boy and his cat on a lake somewhere.  I don't know anything about where it is or whom it is, but I just love it.  It is a black and white photo, so I had to imagine what it would look like in color.   So, that is my interpretation of the light and colors of the day.  If you look closely, you can see people in the lake on the other side of him swimming.  I love the photo.  It reminds me of going to my grandmother's cottage at Crystal Lake, Michigan in the summers.  Good memories!

This scan is a little washed out unfortunately.  It was hard to pick up the soft pastels of the background.  This was a little romantic painting I had fun with.  I hope you had a nice Valentine's Day.
 I had a wonderful day with my adorable husband and three wonderful kids!  Which I am very thankful for.
God Bless.

Love can be messy I suppose.  Usually though, it is quite heavenly.  Love helps us through rough times.  Love can lift our spirits, and soothe our souls.  To share our love is one thing God wants us to do.
 GOD IS LOVE.
Give of yourself on this Valentine's Day.  Not necessarily by buying a bunch of gifts or chocolate.....wait....what am I saying?!  Ok, chocolate is allowed - but give of your heart also.  Like a handmade card or a poem, or both, a walk with your sweetie.  And tell them in your own words how special they are to you.
God (love) is Grand!  Happy Valentine's Day!

We are having some cold weather here in this part of Colorado.  But, it is nice to have the sunshine!!  There is nothing quite like a cold day and having the warm sun beaming down on your smiling face!

This little imaginary flower seems to be beaming as well.  Dancing with the other plants beside her, for sure enjoying the wonderful sun.  Wishing you a happy day with God's wonderful sunshine on your face.

Here it is February already!  My middle son's birthday is this month.   Cupcakes are one of his favorite "food" items.  Probably for most kids, big and small.  Gluten free of course, for us.  The kids and my husband and I are mostly gluten free.  My oldest son notices a big improvement with his allergy and asthma symptoms when he stays away from wheat.  My youngest are wheat sensitive also.  One great blog for Gluten free cooking is one I go to often:  www.glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com.  Check it out!
