This Day…

“I have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning; I have never quite been able to feel that half-masted flags were appropriate on Decoration Day.  I have rather felt that the flag should be at the peak, because those whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it.  We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did.”

~Benjamin Harrison

Happy Memorial Day my friends!

{A Simple Smile}

“We cannot underestimate the healing power that our loving expressions and our warm smiles can impart. We do not really even need to speak. In and of themselves, smiles and loving light in the eyes have their own healing power. They enter the non-verbal receptors of those who receive them and do small miracles to their souls.”

– M. Catherine Thomas

Happy Thoughts

Our pretty birds are back…as long as we feed them…

and Mr. Beany doesn’t really care.

Making efficient “crafty” use of a skinny little space.

The color green you can only get from 2 weeks of rain.

Baptism day for a sweet pack of dear boys.

My broken Pandora is still alive!!

Spring color that goes anywhere.

Apparently it doesn’t always snow in Siberia–so my boy is warm…for now!

What about you? What are your happy thoughts on  this lovely day?
