This afternoon it is pretty warm outside, around 70. I cleaned my house and did laundry. I then went across the street and met another neighbor. He seems pretty nice. He makes cabinets.
While outside I took a couple of photos of two trees I have in my yard. The one is a pine tree and the other is a red berry tree. Does anyone know what kind of tree the berry tree is?
Give me sun
Give me warmth
Let’s get together
And have some fun.
Sick of being inside
Sick of the snow
Sick of the cold
Gonna go run and hide.
The groundhog didn’t see
His shadow this year
Now I am marking the dates
Til I see buds on the trees.
House smells like food
From this Christmas past
The windows need opened
So it can smell good.
I want to hear
The birds singing outside
I want to see flowers
Growing very near.
Come on snow
Be on your way
Let spring come early
Way before May.

This is another photo that I took last night on my walk. She sat still for me just long enough to capture her beauty.
Resting gently on this tiny leaf
This beautiful butterfly caught my eye
Sun bouncing from its wings
I caught this shot, before she began to fly.
I walked up slowly
Not wanting to scare her away
I had my camera ready and aimed
Please praying for her to stay.
She seemed to know what I was doing
As she made no attempt to leave
She spread her wings so wide for me
As if caught in a spider’s weave.
I got up even closer still
And could see all her splendor
I snapped this photo for you to see
How beautiful, delicate and tender.

I have been blogging now almost three months, and I often wonder what name hides behind the WordPress names that I respond to. I have wondered what you look like and do not always know what area you are from. I have decided to share with you a little about myself through pictures I have taken through the years. The top photo is of me, and the one beneath is my brother. This is my eldest child, a daughter, with her husband, and one of their daughters standing with them,at the bottom of the page.
This little girl,third photo down
, is another one of my granddaughters.
The little boy on the bike is also a grandson to me. 
The sixth photo down is the mother of the little boy on the bike. She is the one in the bottom left hand corner. They are a part of my youngest son’s family.The photo under these words with a young man holding the little girl and the boy sitting beside him is my youngest son and his two children, more of my grandchildren.
The young man sitting alone, is my middle son. Now I have shown you my three children. Mom, me and son together, next to the bottom. Son-in-law and his son, my grandson together,third from the bottom.
My daughter and her daughter, my oldest grandchild,eighth from top. My entire family minus the middle son, one granddaughter and one more grandson. I love them all, and wish they were all living near me. Things that I enjoy doing are
taking photographs. Here is one I took of tree leaf reflections. Here are two I took of the skies after the storm. I also love antiques and blogging. Well here is my sweet family, and some photos of nature. I have lived in Indiana all of my life except a short time when I lived in Florida. There is nothing more important to me than living for God and my family. Thank-you for stopping by and getting a better peek of who I am.
God’s beauty reflecting from the skies
Water feeding nature’s leaves
It is the perfect plan he said
To take away all your grieves
I sit on the water’s edge
Seeing the reflection of me
Now realizing that God hath made me
as perfect, as perfect can be.
I look way up into the skies
And tell him I am here
Please God watch over Al and me
Until our time is near.
Amen
