Rain. And more rain. It has been so dry here all year and now in the last three days we have gotten about two inches by my rain gauge. My little baby garden is slurping it up. It sounds so good to hear rain on the roof as I sit at the computer in my studio.

I'm so grateful today for having a granddaughter who so often explodes with excitement for all the little things in life! She's such a great reminder of how important it is for me to remember to find joy in the small wonders of the day! I'm truly blessed to have her.

Well, there is nothing more joyful than a puppy, Puppy kisses, puppy play, watching Gwendolyn run around the house and yard. Now you have to imagine her legs are only about an inch long. She is so darn cute. With my bad mammo last Tuesday and the upcoming surgery she has kept my mind off of it and my heart full of love! She is the best medicine!
