Heartfelt Gratitude


 
with heartfelt gratitude

You will see 
the heart  
of 
the matter



On a cold dismal day this past  January 11th I wrote a small stone called Along the Edges. Today's photo does have that same "low to the ground" feel- just with lots of green instead of snow- thank goodness.

Today I am grateful for the warmth of spring to begin a new blog with my sister - Our Wild Hearts.  This simple blog will serve as a collection site for the  "hearts in the wild"  images my sister and I share most everyday via cell phone. 


I was featured on Random Hearts by Clytie for her Guest Heart Thursday.  I am quite honored because Clytie has quite the eye for finding hearts! WOW- thank you!

Speaking of honors I've been awarded a blogging award by Annette over at Hoofprints in my Garden for my small stones blog A small stone Gathering Thank you Annette- this is my first blogging award- 

Versatile yet balanced--- that is my intention - so thank you very much!.

I have tremendous respect for Annette who just completed a month long poetry challenge!  She is a fellow Writing Our Way Home member and her blog is a great place to sit back and enjoy life from someone who loves the outdoors and horses.  Check it out-

So I researched this award and it appears I should list 7 things about myself and share the award with others.

1.  My dog Pepper takes me for a  2 miles walk nearly everyday.
2.  I like to make chili
3.  I started taking photographs in 6th grade so I would have something to draw.
4.  My 9th grade English teacher said I needed a good editor.
5.  I am the oldest of 6 siblings
6.  I have a husband, two grown children, and am blessed beyond measure. 
7.  The heart of the matter usually is looking right at you . 

And please check out these great blogs:

    I am so excited to see your new blog! I can hardly wait!!!!!!! What a wonderful name "Our Wild Hearts".

    It was MY privilege to feature your gorgeous tulip heart on Guest Heart Thursday. I am in awe of how many hearts can be found in our world - if we just stop long enough to look "along the edges".

    Thanks Teri! I have to say that I am secretly glad the A-Z challenge is over (and poetry month) - writing a poem a day is hard work! Thanks so much for all your encouragement and kind words. Hugs-
