Thomas Darnell went to the grocery store with me last week. He saw these great looking peppers and said he wanted to make stuffed peppers. I helped a bit, and here’s one of the finished peppers. Jasmine rice layered with peas, corn, and two kinds of cheese.

There were many wonderful walks, clouds and sunsets during the two week stay at home vacation and social media break.

Sunset walk with Lillian.
Sometimes parenting is a bed of roses.
Sometimes parenting is a bed of thorns.
Sometimes I know exactly where I’m going.
Sometimes I don’t know whether I’m coming or going.
Yet, the walks I take, the scenes my eyes frame, the photos I take, being in nature, always brings peace and comfort.

Nature’s Abundance

I touch and hug
the beautiful,
scarred and knotted
trees that sprout
and grow from Your soil.
I feel and Know
your Abundance.

I delight in the sparkling
and unique snow flakes
as they drift from
the brooding clouds
above and lightly fall
upon this body.
I feel and Know
