Signs
If we choose to see The signs As hope for some When there’s none to find; These subtle displays Hidden in plain sight Will refresh each day With renewed delight; Opening eyes That are ready to see There is so much more This world can be; When we find The signs In the places we… Read More Signs
Autumn
Framed by darkness Illuminated by light A mixed composition Is the cycle of life; Seasons of change Some welcomed…some not All have a purpose Lest we forgot; Even the rainy days That block out the sun Help ignite the color In the next autumn to come.

Across the slick frozen surface Flowing water – solidified and white Stands a sad, bare forest; Mixed with lush evergreen pines. Just as all things… Read More The Promise of a New Day
A Quilt of Memories
I’ve always loved quilts. They’re so homey and comforting. Their rustic charm, yet intricate design, hits an artistic spot that few things in life can. The best of both worlds: true artisanship meets retro simplicity. Our first Christmas after we lost our son, I received my favorite quilt from my husband. Embellished in a patchwork… Read More A Quilt of Memories
