White Wednesday...

I love chippy paint...

and this was my birthday present last year from my best friend, Rebecca...

and each brush stroke was painful...

until it was done...

I love it now...

and with it being protected from the weather means I will have it that much longer...

and for me nothing beats a swing...

I rocked both my babies in swings...

I've read the best books in swings...

I have made my best plans in swings...

I have felt the best summer breezes in swings...

I have star gazed in the middle of the night in swings...

and I have spent the most magical evenings holding hands with my greatest love in swings...

there's a special kind of magic when your feet aren't touching the ground...

Happy WW, everyone!...

we needed this so much...

I have some more painting to do...

but it can wait...

the kitchen needs some help, too...

and then there's laundry...

 vacuuming...

cooking...

I'm thinking Italian beef...

 oh yeah, I almost forgot the most important thing on rainy days...

it's the nappin'...

happy nappin' to you...

things with wings...翼を持つもの

been busy today...

will show you all later...

it's been a lazy day...

we got these painted...

we need to turn them over and get the bottoms and then they will be finished...

they look so good white!...

and we picked green beans...

and we went for walks...

and we sat and talked...

and of course we ate...

and ate...

and napped...

The finest gift you can give anyone is encouragement. Yet, almost no one gets the encouragement they need to grow to their full potential. If everyone received the encouragement they need to grow, the genius in most everyone would blossom and the world would produce abundance beyond the wildest dreams. We would have more than one Einstein, Edison, Schweitzer, Mother Theresa, Dr. Salk and other great minds in a century.

Rebecca- I believe in you...in your dreams...in your talent...you are awesome...
