My girls

I'm visiting my girls, whom I love dearly. It can be hard not being in your own place to do your 'own thing' but I'm so grateful to be able to spend time with them. They are able to live their lives as if I'm one of them, not worried about entertaining me. That makes me feel good and like 'one of the girls'.

They are still so young. Sometimes they feel they are getting old to quick and haven't ackomplished what they wished they had by now, but so many have gone to college only to change their minds about this point in time. I wish the one had the courage to break out of the comfortable and go for her dreams but I understand leaving the financial security of her life for now. Maybe someday she'll 'get her act together' and start with writing her stories for her nephews!

I've been blessed to have the relationship I have with them. Thank you Lord for that blessing.

Mule deer bucks in full velvet

For the second time in a matter of days two gorgeous bucks have appeared out my window, enjoying the long, still green and fresh grasses. A rarity as this is more 'elk territory'. Last night they came at midnight and the growls of my dog were the only way I knew they were there. They are my spirit guides and messengers from above. I don't always understand their message and presence but I never for a minute fail to appreciate their blessing.

Thank you Lord Jesus for this blessing, especially this week. I love you and the beauty of your creations and the view from my window. Peace and joy flow with the blowing grasses. Life is good.
