She looks so sweet... I just want to kiss her. It breaks my heart when I hear about animals who have suffered, so I feel happy when I see an animal who's found a loving home. Baby Ryan is adorable. I can only imagine what it must be like to have a grandchild. I'm happy to wait a few more years, but I know I'll feel things I've never felt before. The hollyhock story reminded me of my father and the yellow roses... right after he died, the rose bush in front of my mother's house bloomed with one yellow rose, and it kept blooming abundantly after that, even out of season. The weird thing was that it hadn't bloomed before he died; my parents were thinking of just digging it up! Perhaps people do send us messages from beoynd. It's comforting to think so.... And the big tree hovering over the magic cottage...it's HUGE! And beautiful!carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650904230033262702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-48835098162162477572007-03-10T12:42:00.000-05:002007-03-10T12:42:00.000-05:00:) #3....I beleive you are right!Aw, dear Stella, ...:) #3....I beleive you are right!<BR/><BR/>Aw, dear Stella, she's beautiful... as is that bundle of joy!skinnylittleblondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04948889861251533317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-73833569029662867252007-03-10T10:13:00.000-05:002007-03-10T10:13:00.000-05:00Great pictures, great thoughts...especially loved ...Great pictures, great thoughts...especially loved the pic and caption of your parents...<BR/><BR/>And little Ryan, head bowed to the left, in someone's loving arms...WithinWithouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05545398587099834271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-61506038349818904002007-03-10T00:10:00.000-05:002007-03-10T00:10:00.000-05:00I don't know why, but I particularly liked that od...I don't know why, but I particularly liked that odd cauliflower.

The first time at the start of winter only after all the leaves have dropped and then again at the end of winter just before the leaves bud. After 9 years here I'm still amazed.andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16364011769128646998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-28764038602112794632007-03-08T19:24:00.000-05:002007-03-08T19:24:00.000-05:00Oh kj!
