Friday's Flower

Today picture a community uplifting each other with her hopes and dreams of better, safer, more caring tomorrows with all needs met in the most positive way. A place where everyone takes action to make sure each person, place and thing in their life is well.
I AM grateful for the many prayers and each one of you special people, places and situations encountered this week.
Be Blessed,
Erin

Foggy Fall

So here is the entrance to my home in the hills. The fog rising from the fir covered hills was amazing. Maidenhair Ferns on the right will soon disappear and will sleep hidden in the rocks from which they spring back to life around April. The Red Alder are dropping their leaves to tuck everything below them in for safe winter keeping. You can feel the quiet peace rising from the valley floor as Winter begins.

Prayer For Earth

Last night and owl called from the hill.
Coyotes howled.
A deer stood still nibbling at bushes far away.
The moon shone silver.
LET THIS STAY.
Today two noisy crows flew by,
their shadows pasted on the sky.
The sun broke out through clouds of gray.
An iris opened.
LET THIS STAY.

Wishing you wellness and Refuge

My heart is heavy tonight. It is hard to think that this could soon have a power line running thru it.

Prayers for Fort Hood

My daughter has a dear friend Richard stationed at Fort Hood. He is fine but his best friend is in critical condition. They had a ceremony today. Hold them all up at this time.

My Deer Family

So today IAM posting some special members of my circle, they look after this land with reverence. Every year since I first moved here it has been a blessing to watch their families and generations. We generally have at least 2 sets of twins in the spring and one or two single fawns. These pictures show the progression of our single fawn friend and my newest family member Juneau(the cat) The first picture was taken in the Spring of 2009 and shows a pregnant Mom, then you see our little fawn friend finding his legs and learning to explore his surroundings. Yes this is a little buck. They love to run around at this stage full of energy. It is really quite comical. Portrait with his Mom and then
my loveable Juneau who is also quite a
character and obviously very comfortable in her surroundings. And this last picture taken just a few
nights ago when Juneau and our friend the
little buck decided to become friends.
They got as close as touching noses.
It was great to watch.
Wishing you the Blessings of a loving
CIRCLE.

Today and Always,
Erin
