Spring
Colorful buds bring
forth youthful fantasies of
warmth, wonder and hope.

Everyday Beauty…
As I trudge through my everyday moments,
My breathe suddenly gives way
To the color pink…
Wrapping itself around the edges of the rose.
Deepening color and
Reaching to the far interior rounded petals.
Soft, smooth blossoms fold over…
With heavy dew, sipped through the sweet morning air.
My heart drinks in the essence of flower perfumed thoughts.
And my spirit sings awareness of simple wonders.

My Pink Mood…
Whimsical wonder
Of the lingering mystic
Makes my mood feel pink.

My Loving Shadow…
Every time my gaze
Crosses your path, I feel your
Cherished, heavy love.

Ordinary is the color of dreams…
This ordinary grass stem gleams sunny rays out of ominous formations.
Filling the outstretched limbs of shadows with warm colors,
Which clothe the shape of dreams

Sunset Lullaby…
Mother Sun singing
Long, golden hued lullabies
For slumbering souls.

Here is a post to celebrate Water Water Everywhere. This is actually just a small puddle, but the reflection was beautiful.
Dreams…
Fleeting memories
of enchanted dreamers fill
the winsome, star filled sky.

Love Story…
Affection in furry form. Breathtaking love of my life.
Even now, my heart is fractured as I think of Yuri.
However, he is still here.
Influencing and showing his presence with a yearning of meaning.
Magical music glides over mosaic remembrances and in certain moments
The holy hollowness of my heart beats the passion of a peaceful spirit,
Gentleness glistening in the sweet memories of long walks and silent conversations.
Still here, in my mind, in my heart a steady gaze tells me he is silently with me.
How can it be that this gentle dog still grips my heart in grief…
He was the one who guided me through healing
A path of heartache that had clenched and paralyzed me with fear.
He helped in maneuvering the treacherous waters of life, so I began to believe in myself.
The tears I shed are big, real tears of sorrow and loss.
Yet I am healed through his everlasting devotion of hope.
And life lessons continue to lead me in the love that is waiting for me within the eyes of nature.
This image is part of the https://islandinthenet.com/52-week-smartphone-challenge/ The topic is Love Story. My son shot this with his iPhone 6 witnessing me saying goodbye to Yuri. He was 13 and crippled with arthritis. We were fortunate that we were able to put him down in his beloved backyard. I am convinced that Yuri was and will always be an Angel.

A Valentine wish…
I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine’s Day :). My wish is for everyone to be surrounded by love, whether it be romantic, family, friends or furry babies. 💕 This is Buttercup enjoying some Valentine roses.
The life of a Colorado teacher…
My day was tough and I am tired. I teach Kindergarten and today we celebrated 100 days of school. And tomorrow we celebrate Valentines Day before a day and an evening of parent/teacher conferences. Yikes!!! I love my job and all of my students. Not to mention that the days of celebration are fun. However, all that five year old excitement leaves me exhausted and ready to go home, put on my pj’s and eat pizza.
Yet, there is that part of me that requires time to myself in nature. I can’t make it to the mountains tonight, but there is a park nearby where I can walk in the calm, crisp, February air. The ducks and geese swim in the little area of the lake that is not frozen over. They are quacking, honking their displeasure in my presence. I look up and watch the sun dip behind the mountains, slipping my phone out of my pocket just in time to catch this beautiful moment. I feel refreshed and happy. I reflect on my day and find the many positive aspects that I had previously overlooked. Excited children, wonderful learning and supportive collogues. I am tired, but my day had meaning and I am surrounded by a loving community. With a full and thankful heart, I am ready to go home and order some pizza. 🙂
