Sunflower Fields Forever!

I was so excited this afternoon.I needed some stuff from the grocery store after school. So, I decided to take a ride to Wallkill View Farms. A roadside Farm Stand that sells homegrown veggies,baked goods and flowers. On the way, look what I encountered.Yup, Sunflowers.Rows and Rows of them! Peeking through the sunshine. Last year, I didn't get a chance to photograph them. I'm glad I didn't miss them this year.Hope you enjoy my excitement!Hugs, Sunflower Girl

Reflecting

This week was a busy one. I've been taking some time to absorb everything. Some great happy times and some sad. A coworker lost her Daughter in a car accident this week. Now, all of the sudden I'm in a state of shock.I couldn't even imagine how to cope with the loss of a child.Silence.......I attended the service yesterday with much hesitation. A touching Memorial on her behalf with classmates recanting her life as if she was present.I cried, I laughed, most of all I.....reflected.I called my Daughter N/A she was at work.We need to live Life. Say, I love You to those around you whom you Love.


I carry Your Heart With Me

by E. E. Cummings
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
You will be missed Natia! My deepest sympathy goes out to the Ruth/ Gorgen Family. I leave you with one thought.Make every moment count. Hugs, Liz
