Blossom Time

Spring is a wonderful time of year for its many beautiful blossoms. Already that time has passed, though I’m hoping their memory will be revived with an abundance of healthy fruit come this September.

We are blessed with many lovely fruit trees on the farm, and with my iPhone handy I was able to capture many images during their time of full bloom. These are plum blossoms.

Looks rather like a painting, doesn’t it?

Upkeep of the farm and a focus on family history (see In So Many Words ~ Shedding Light on the Family Tree) since the beginning of the year has my energies directed in many areas right now, which means my posts to this blog have been impacted somewhat.

Thank you for visiting and being a supportive part of my journey.

Be well …

Dorothy

Throwback Thursday: Glendalough

Posted on by

~*~

When I’m feeling distraught or unsettled about life beyond my control I turn my heart to that which brings me joy. We used to travel a lot and one of my fondest memories belongs to a couple of hours spent wandering through the ruins of an ancient monastary at beautiful Glendalough in Co. Wicklow, Ireland.

Recently, and to my great delight, I’ve learned it’s possible some of my Irish ancestors who emigrated to North America in the 1800s originated in this area.

Beyond my appreciation for its obvious beauty perhaps this explains my feelings of connection.

During these intense and challenging times I return to this memory to bring peace to my heart and to help me be a source of peace for others.

It’s what the world needs now … that and love, sweet love.

Be well and thanks for visiting …

Sunday Serenity: Footprints in the Snow

This image has been featured before, but I love it so wanted to give it prominence again.

One of the redeeming qualities of winter is its many light moods. I captured this a couple of years ago out in the back forty as I was watching a magnificent sunrise. Nearly froze, mind you. So worth it.

Be well,

Dorothy
