"Wish To Sleep With Lights On"

A pretty butterfly landed on the hummingbird feeder awhile ago. It was after the sweet nectar. So very pretty. 10-8-2015 Perryton, Texas.


I am still enjoying my back yard with all the pretty little butterflies and things. I watched this little butterfly eat nectar from the hummingbird feeder for quite some time. It was opening and closing its wings constantly. The stuff must have been good. It never flew away all the time I was taking it’s picture. At one time I had the camera just a few inches from it. Today is one of my more joyful days. I was already beaming with pride when I walked to the back yard. I had been painting on Melania Trump’s portrait for a couple of hours. She was making me so happy smiling at me while I painted her. All from the canvas, of course. I am excited about how real-like she is becoming on the canvas. The little butterfly eating from the hummingbird’s feeder finished making my day great. I need more hours in the day, but then I would need a new body because this one is too worn out to do more than an average day’s work. I do have trouble at night unwinding because I want to keep going. Sometimes its 2:00 a m. before I go to sleep. But once I drift off I am out till 7:00 the next morning. That’s all the sleep I need for a 24 hour day. However, I do rest a lot during the day. God is more than good, He is awesome. He has helped me to let go of some of the sorrow from losing my husband. I am still hoping to clear out the closets of all his cloths before long. Almost three years should be long enough.

These are the times when I have the heater on part of the time, and the air conditioner  on part of the time. Sounds crazy, but somehow I love it. I want to hang onto summer as long as I can. I’m sure I will not be so frisky when I can no longer turn the air conditioner on. I am determined not to crawl up in my den, and sleep till summer. I may manage to get an edge on selling some of my books and paintings. That is my dream at this time. Its not all about play. There has to be some work involved. I am managing to keep my expenses paid, but everyone looks forward to better than that. The big one is out there if we can just catch it. At least I’m having fun while I keep casting. I have a large net if I hang a really big one. Life is full of surprises, and even some good ones. I look for something exciting every day, even if it’s a little, beautiful, butterfly helping it’s self to the humming bird’s feeder. Tomorrow will be another exciting day, because I am looking for it. Just can’t wait to see what happens next. “Walk in the fullness of His love.”

God Bless
