rose and raspberries

Today I am inspired by the colors of roses and raspberries. It looks so summery....a reminder to enjoy every bit of summer while it is still here!

And with that reminder, I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

It is hard to believe that one year ago today, our dear Lisa went on to a better place. I will never forget what an honor it was to know her. Going through old comments has a mixture of happiness and sadness. She was such a special person and her words could always make anyone's day.

I will never forget the sadness in hearing the heartbreaking news.

She was the sunshine in blog land.

Lisa showed us what it was like to have fun...

...and how to be stylish.

She was always positive and always an encourager.

She had the biggest heart and her love and care of other people and the environment was an inspiration.

And she knew just how to make everyone smile.

I know she is swinging with angels now.

Our dear Bumpkin, you are missed every day.

freedom

What does freedom mean to you?

Do you find it in vast open spaces?

Or in the rain?

Is it simply being able to do whatever you want?

Is it in the quiet times by yourself?

In your travels?

Is it in living a happy life?

Flying?

Letting go in love?

Or is freedom simply having the right to try?

What does freedom mean to you? Where do you see freedom?
