My husband and I were walking on our property one day. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, and the temperature was comfortable. We were making new discoveries when we saw a thistle in full bloom. It was about three feet tall, full of sharp spines lining the leaves with purple blooms at … Continue reading Beauty in Difficulty

My Drum
I know this is not the Christmas season. Sometimes I enjoy playing Christmas music during other times of the year. Most of us have a favorite Christmas carol. It could be a song from childhood that we sang in school, at church, or one we heard on the radio. I have several favorites. "O Little … Continue reading My Drum
