Photos are from our walk on MondayHome … it’s where my Heart is …
Hayley … where ever she is … it’s my Home … I am so lucky to have been blessed with Her as my one & only child … not a moment goes by that I’m not grateful for her in my life.
My Hayley
Haywire … the name given to my daughter by Grandpa … It was given after a “terrible two’s” episode …
Honey … our 4 legged mistfit furball … we got her when she was almost a year old … truly a misfit … a kennel dog, untrained, never socialized … and yet she just suits us to a T!
Hayley and Honey on one of the three tiny bridges along the path we walk
Heart … Emotionally ~ I have one … sometimes it’s been two big … sometimes its been two small but lately its been very balanced. Physically ~ I am trying to be better to my heart … trying to limit fats, eat more fruit & veggies and my Hayley has been taking me out for long walks, Helping me look after my Health and my Heart
Heaven …. Technically it is still winter but it’s spring here … It’s been spring for a while … Since late February when we got that sunny warm streak during the Olympics … and it was beautiful … the skies where blue and warm and the earth started to send forth her blossoms … crocuses in late January, then daffs, then the cherry trees started coming out … most are in full bloom now and it’s only the beginning of March. And it’s the cherry blossoms that make me think of heaven … it’s the softness, it’s looking up … up towards the sky through the blossoms … when the sun makes me squint a bit so my depth of vision changes and the blossoms start to blend into each other and look like soft, pale pink clouds … and this is when I begin to wonder if this … this beautiful vision … under the perfect sky … if this is what heaven is like. Is it like this little bit of perfection in the earth & sky & air … this feeling of warmth mixed with cool crisp little licks of wind that taste my ears and my eyes and blow my hair … because when I am truly in these moments … as one with these surroundings, that life is so perfect I can only equate a state of nirvana … of heaven ….

Happy … I am … much more often than not :)

Good Morning Jo,
Thanks for stopping by the farmhouse for a visit. We love having company. I adore your "H" post--your daughter is truly a wonderful blessing! She is a real cutie!!
I was too innocent to be afraid of Howdy Doody, so a talking doll didn't scare me. NOW, Chuckie--he can take his knife and go play elsewhere!! LOL
Have a great weekend!
What a beautiful post Jo. I love the picture of Hayley and Honey - is there anything more special than that bond? The cherry blossoms are so pretty, our flowering trees here are starting to bloom and it sure lifts the spirits! Kathy
