and Purposeful Prose
You hung the stars. How could I forget? In Your hands there is wisdom There is power in Your breath. You took such care As you planned our days You counted the stars And called each by name. We're never adrift Your love is eternal It’s so lovingly written in the skies above. How great [...]
It's BEEn a while since any bees have made an appearance on my blog. Bees are important; they help trees to bear fruit. Here are some photos that I've taken over the years of these fuzzy fliers.

Don't be afraid to look ahead Don’t be afraid to dream There's still hope in the unseen. Maybe you can't see it with your eyes Maybe you're caught up in all of the lies But in hope we'll see We'll realize The future bests the days behind. Don't be afraid to take a chance There's [...]

Evening Light So lovely a night Warm through and through Let me bask in this sight. Can't I stay outside? Can't I capture the moon? I could sleep under the stars Till I'm bit by a racoon. Tina S.W. July 21, 2020 Ah, Canadian poetry. Nothing but the best. Photos! My weeds! They've grown like [...]
