Sunday Thinking

 Happy St. Patricks Day!  🍀


Tomorrow, I will be filling my hummingbird feeders.  The little beauties should be arriving any day now.  I am a little worried because we had to have two HUGE trees cut down in our backyard and my Mimosa tree had to be cut back.  Our tiny visitors love the Mimosa tree and they often flew up into these two big trees!





I was able to capture these this little fella last March while visiting our family in California.

Beautiful Alaska.....I am ready to see you again!

Life is a mountain peak, offering a broad perspective.
Reaching the peak of a mountain offers a panoramic view, providing clarity and a broader perspective. Similarly, pinnacle moments or reflections in life allow us to see the bigger picture, gaining insights into our journey!

Old Country Road

 Peace and Quite, along with undeniable beauty is the true meaning of living in the Country!!

I truly am a country girl through and through.  Flip flops are my best friends and the only thing that could be better than FF's, is to be barefooted.  I love not having to wear  shoes!  Of course, I only do this around our home!

I took the above picture about a week ago.  I have traveled down this road many, many times and others just like it in our area.  My thoughts raced back in time, to when my brothers, my sister, our cousins and I,  would race down these same roads......the only difference was that they were dirt/sandy roads back then.  

We explored the ditches of these old roads and would swing on the huge grape vines that would hang from the trees.  This was LIFE!  

We live in a small town, where we are surrounded by country roads, trees, water filled branches, tractors,  farms, pigs, cows, horses, ponds, a big lake and all kinds of weird noises being made by the creatures in the woods.  I wouldn't change anything about this kind of living. 




The smell of fresh cut grass, hearing the birds sing, watching the squirrels run from tree to tree, seeing the lightning bugs at night, hearing the coyotes yell, and experiencing the pure beauty of Mother Nature, sure makes for a peaceful way to live.  




We can pick our own blackberries, our own figs and grow our own produce all while taking in the sweet fragrance of honeysuckle, covering a fence line just a few feet away.  And I can't forget about fishing!

We all love to fish in the family lake!


There is absolutely no other life that can compare to simple country living.   


The best thing is passing all these old country things down to our kids and grandkids!  They love it too!!



Thankful for the Country Living that we have!

The breathtaking Wisteria blooms are so delicate and the purple hues of the flowers are quite stunning.  The wisteria is a symbol of Love and Longevity.


As I was out and about this morning, I couldn't help but notice all of the gorgeous Wisteria blooms flaunting their incredible beauty and saying...."Look at us...it is our season!"


It is almost as if they were in competition with the snow-white flowers of the Bridal Wreath Bush (spirea) as it flourishes in all of its beauty.


Oh sweet Spring......you are a lovely reminder of how beautiful change can be.  

Shug.....💜
