I may hear
troubled times
but may I keep believing
the beauty of roses
will bloom again
peace will reign in the street
and the welcome gate
can be open

breaking plant mystery...

Could not understand why my potted plant was constantly breaking and snapping off...Could it be the wind?...
Today, in my usual garden wander, I found small pieces of the same plant emerging in my garden soil...

lambs of peace and hope...

This 21st century world is twisted with natural and man-made disasters. It's a scarey place. Please keep 'delivering' your daily lambs. Noah, long ago, may have had his dove of peace and hope, but we have your lambs, your lambs of peace and hope.

my Saturday morning...

more Anne Louise skills...

You're a remarkable, inspiring lady...esp for this old duck (moi) - survived pneumonia, sepsis + a major breakdown when I first retired last year...
I've told myself more than once,
'if Anne can do it, so can I'...🙏
P.S. I'm now exploring painting+sketching skills...
