"Early Morning Bird Shower"

Its been fun watching the birds taking a bath in my sprinkler this morning. They dart in and out of the water so fast I can't get a picture, but there is a little black bird at the right of the sprinkler. 4-15-2015 Perryton, Texas.

I had to continue with the watering today even though the wind was blowing. I was amazed at how many birds needed a shower. They seem to stand in line waiting for the shower to be turned on. They dart in the water, shake themselves a bit, then fly away before I can get a picture. I finally did get one little bird’s picture while he was waiting to fly into the water. He is sitting to the right of the sprinkler on the street. Happy, happy, do they make me feel so early in the morning. I am reminded of when my kids would stand in line at the swimming pool waiting to jump off the diving board. It almost seems like yesterday. My, how time goes by fast. I am now loving the times when I see pictures of my great grandchildren doing sweet little things. This is almost daily because of computers. Thank God for miracles. When God says its time to call me home, I will leave Him in charge of things my children and grand children can’t do, keep my love and memories in their hearts. He will never let them forget how much I loved them, because He will smile at them each day in my place. I hope to be buried in the family, spiritual burring place created many, many years ago. A burying plot that does not exist where man can see. I believe I have a few more requests to be answered yet by God, before I will be ready to say, “Lord I am ready now.” By faith I am claiming that promise, which will be a miracle by all means. “Love covereth a multitude of sins,” So God said, therefore, I forgive a multitude of sins made against me. I will still remember, but not as much as I forget. I pray that every bad thought that comes to me will continue to fade away completely. They are not accepted in heaven, therefore I have to doubt that they are accepted here on earth. “Teach me Lord to forgive and forget.”

With that all said I must clear my thoughts on forgiveness, and see how much trouble I can make for someone who isn’t keeping me informed on plans that include me. I suppose I can go ahead and make my plans in this case, and hope everything will be o k. Why did I even think I had to know everything in the first place? God forbid. This week-end is the time my son, Rick, was suppose to be moving in with me. He lives in Fort Worth and has retired. This week-end I am going to Oklahoma City, for a doctor’s appointment. I just must be here when my home-sharer unloads all his stuff in my house. I do not know if he will be here this week-end or not, because he is one of those who thinks, “when it happens, it will happen. You know I am moving in with you. Lottie-da.” Can anyone beat that?

"Lord Let Me Blossom From Bottom To Top"

This is the second year that red bud blossoms have sprung out of the trunk of the tree. Some bloomed on the limbs, but a lot have come right out of the trunk of the tree. My neighbors and me are bumfuzzled about this. 4-14-2015 Perryton, Texas.

Never to old to learn something. A red bud blossom coming straight out of the trunk of the tree all the way to the ground. 4-14-2015 Perryton, Texas.
Once again I am posting wonders from my yard. Lively pink, red bud blossoms are decorating the tree trunk from the bottom to the top. They are not on a limb, but looks as though they have been pasted to the tree’s large limbs that make up the trunk of the tree. This tree created a lot of attention last year, and now it is doing it again. So very unusual, but it is pretty. Wondering what to expect next year. I love the ever changing beauty God sends us from time to time. Whether above or below, something is always different. I have watered all day since there hasn’t been much wind to hinder the spray. Everything is growing fast. I even got to spray my fruit trees again for the last time this summer. I hope I have worm-free fruit. I have given it all I had to make sure I don’t have bad fruit.

Even with being busy most of the day I still had one of those days where I cried a lot. I can’t explain the feeling. It is just like I am laughing and crying almost at the same time. Sad thoughts from the past seemed to flood me today. I seemed to suddenly have regrets of the way I handled some things in the past. I guess you might call it blame on my part for the things that never got better, but did get worse. Somehow I can’t accept failure when it comes to any of my loved ones not having a happy life. Prayer and more prayer has not changed the terrible sorrow and suffering that some of my loved ones are still having. Only a miracle could possible change things, and after so long I feel that it will just never happen. I had resigned myself to accept things that I could not change, but days like today I tell myself that I failed to have enough faith or it would be different. I hurt so much when I think of all the hardships some of my loved ones are having. Yet I have done many physical things, as well as prayed for them, trying to get them past the disadvantage condition they were in. I have to be sure that something is missing from the mind of such ones that can never be fixed. That doesn’t make it any easier though. I will never stop asking God to help my loved ones, and even some friends, who are desperately unhappy. Some even to the point of, “kill me, I don’t care.” The love I have for these same people is killing me to have to think about it. Some days I am not able to turn it off my mind, but I always feel victory after I cry. I have to know and believe that God will not put more on us than we are able to bear. Those are His words. I pray I will never quit sharing the pain with those I love.

God Bless

"Beauty After The Beast"

              Fresh chives for your baked potato. Have plenty. 4-13-2013 Perryton, Texas.    

If you thought this was a river, you're wrong. This is the sun shining on clouds taken in my backyard today. 4-13-2015 Perryton, Texas.


I find myself again today taking unbelievable pictures even from my yard. Some above, some below. There is always something that grabs my attention. The reason the sun and cloud picture isn’t in color is because there was no color. The bright sun was shining down on black and white clouds making it look like a river. I am thinking about painting this shot. It is amazing to me how such a good shot could be so unusually busy. The plants, the trees, and the grass is sparkling today under this bright sun. Glory be to the beauty of God. I am fed up with asparagus. I cut a mess every day. It is so good you can eat it by its self, but I have had an awful lot this spring. I may try and freeze some. I am just bubbling over with exciting things to do. That is without getting out of my yard. I have to feed and water my plants and trees nearly every day. I have to wash bird poop off my lawn chairs every time we want to sit in them because they sit under my big apple tree. I have to water the grass a lot since we don’t get much rain. I don’t like to work with the wind so quite often I just let it blow while I stay inside and paint or write. I count my blessings instead of my money. Money can’t buy happiness, and contentment. That’s a good thing or I wouldn’t have much.

This has been a week that I will have to admit I have flounced at the bit. The first part of the week was like everything was going wrong for me. My FOX channel on T V was off all day long. That is about the only channel I watch. Then the next morning it was still off. I have been upset with our T V service since it closed its local office here and sold out to a company far away. It takes forever to get to talk to anyone about problems. I usually have to listen to recordings and call several numbers before I can ever get what I need. The second morning I was still not getting FOX I went to the computer and started calling every number I could find that came under VYVE Broadband. It took me at least thirty minutes to get anyone to talk to me. I was fuming. The lady who answered me started asking me questions that I thought unnecessary. I snapped back at her every time, telling her to tell VYVE that I was changing service. She left the phone for awhile finally coming back on and telling me that channel 52, which had been FOX had been changed to 49. I griped her out because the company hadn’t notified me of the change. Of course the lady didn’t even work for VYVE. She was just an employ to help people having trouble from all T V company’s and that is why she had to ask me so many questions.. At that time a friend called and I was still fuming so I unloaded on her. She had some more reasons to tell me why I should move closer to her in another town. She said she has trouble getting me on my landline telephone many times. And last month My computer server notified me I either had to change email service or start paying for my current email. They couldn’t promise, me even though I stayed with them and paid, just how long it would last. I finally had to hire a technician to come to my house and get that all changed. Then everything else changed also. I had to learn the whole process all over again. I began to feel as though I was going to have to give up a lot of my interest, and start rocking away in my easy chair. For the past few days I have been blessed in so many ways I have already forgotten  the turmoil I went through earlier. I guess I am one of those who never want to experience hard luck. But thank God I never gave up, and now I am overflowing with happiness again.

God Bless

"Gold And Silver Have I None But such As I Have Give I Unto You"

Just discovered a gold mine in my back yard. Thinking about selling out. 4-12-2015 Perryton, Tx.

I really believe I have some rocks with gold and silver veins. They sparkle like it. Double click and you can see the sparkle. 4-12-2015 Perryton, Texas. 


A lovely Sunday morning and I just discovered some gold and silver in my rocks. They were hand picked and tugged up a steep bank in Colorado. I have had them for years, but never noticed before how much they sparkle at times. Good dreams are always better than bad dreams. I have decided to swear that my asparagus bed is surrounded by gold and silver rocks. Maybe I need to put some locks on my gates. As you can tell I am as good as new this morning. I can’t hardly remember being tired last night. I have a lot planned to do today, so I will probably be tired again tonight, but thank God for a good night’s rest.

I have been waiting for Hillary to announce her run for president. It is now 12:00 p. m  and still nothing. I sure hate to miss something this drastic, but I have things to do. If I don’t see it I won’t believe it. I dare say she is a dare devil if ever there was one. Sorry to have to say, about half of our country is made up of daredevils these days. The most of the other half are not devil darers. They are whinny, powerless, plugs not fit to stop anything. OMG! what is going to happen to us now? The biblical message is being fulfilled on every corner block. No need to deny it, the truth is before our eyes. This country has gone to the dogs. I will never quit believing in miracles, and I truly think we will see one soon. Some may say it was a disaster, but others will say it was a miracle. I will be among the positive thinkers whatever happens. Enough has been said to unbelievers and now it is time to rest our tired bodies and souls from any more exhaustion. Some will call us quitters, but not so. We will be called over comers by the Lord God Almighty. Until then I will rejoice and be glad that I am a winner in the biggest fight of any political battle that’s ever been fought. I am on the side of Jesus, the Son of God. The one who never lost a battle while here on earth, and the one who will not let His followers lose a battle either. We may get our heads cut off, but that will not mean we are losers. Jesus was nailed to the cross. Can’t we be equally as true to Him as He was to us? I am standing on the promise that god gave me years ago when I first met Him. He said, “I will not let my people suffer corruption.” Psalms 16:10. He calls them the holy ones. I am sure He was talking to me, because I was a new convert and needed help, not fear. This was a message for me. “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for thou art with me.” another message God gave me in John 3:16. “Keep on believing and never doubt is my message to all.”
