A Gift and a New Painting

Hello Everyone,
I want to share what I received in the mail from Marcia at In Stillness and Simplicity ~ a set of her beautiful "Blue Skies" tags! These are just so sweet and pretty ~ perfect for spring. Thank you so much, Marcia!

I love the quote on some of them by Ralph Waldo Emerson: "All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen."  To visit Marcia's blog, In Stillness and Simplicity, click HERE.

I just finished this painting last night around midnight. It's untitled, but I've had a couple of suggestions for the title from family: "The Birds" and "The Hungry Games"  :)

When I finished it, I realized the kitty's face looks like my Buster - even though I didn't use him as the model!

Do you have a suggestion for the title of my painting? Would love to hear it, if you do!

Have a great week!

Until next time,

Cindy

The Colors of Spring

Hello Everyone,
I'm sharing more photos of one of my favorite places to walk - the grounds of St. Frances Spirituality Center. This is especially for Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for her Pink Saturday link party - only this week, we're all invited to share our SPRING posts! This is one of the warmest and most beautiful springs we've had in Northwest Ohio on record...and believe me, I am enjoying it! These are from today's walk.  Enjoy!

“Spring is in the air and my heart feels like dancing. I get out in nature as much as I can. Every blade of grass, every flower, and every bird I see brings joy to my heart. I know that just around the corner new experiences are available to me. I greet each new day with optimism and joy. It is such an exciting time to be alive!” - Louise L. Hay

Have a great weekend! Until next time,

Cindy

Cats on Tuesday ~ Here Comes the Sun

Hello friends,
Time for special blog update from me, Buster, for Cats on Tuesday. I think I'm wrong way on computer...can't see screen. MOL! Need to turn around!

Now, let me tell you about very fine weather we have lately. It's warm like summertime! So, every day after my daily meditations, I sit on patio swing in warm sunlight, watching birdies in trees. Mom get very upset if I catch them, though, so I try to be just watcher...not hunter.

Must clear mind of all thoughts of catching fat, juicy little birdies...ommm

Me on patio swing

Now I give update on other cats I share house with...Sam and Rudy.

Sam sleeping, as usual. Sam big man-cat! I think he need to cut down on his noms! MOL!

Today, Rudy watching "Animal Planet" on TV box.

Here is another picture of me, Buster, enjoying sunshine.

Life is good, friends. I hope you enjoy my update!

Until next time,

Buster

Spring Photos

Spring is busting out all over! It was a lovely day for a long walk. Storm clouds moved in before I got home and it started to sprinkle. The air smelled so fresh and earthy after the rain. Everything is coming alive again after napping all winter. I love spring! These are from my walk:

...And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

William Wordsworth

Stormy skies...

Have a wonderful week, everyone!

Until next time,

Cindy
