Cheers!

Kisses from your big sister!

Today I raise a glass with Birthday Wishes to my brother. He is sorely missed. I wish to honor and celebrate his life and my family's time with him.

Calvin and Hobbs

We went for a ride in a covered wagon, pulled by these two beautiful oxen at a local county fair.

A volunteer

Funny, in the middle of the field is a marigold. At first it was just plain curious until we realized it was from a perimeter of marigolds we had planted around a past corn patch. This is the only one that has grown and with much delay. A wonderful surprise.

A reading day

"Runny's Hew Nobby.
Runny Babbit knearned to lit,
And made a swat and heater,
And now he sadly will admit
He bight have done it metter."


and we love Shel Silverstein.

Finshing projects

My daughter started this scarf quite a while ago. She is a very good knitter, nice and even. I came across it and decided to help her finish it up. Turned out pretty nicely, I think.

Someone turned on the humidity

Wow, it is warm. No sewing or knitting today. Not yet anyway, but here is a photo from a trip to the river. Cool and refreshing. My youngest and I were at the park,trying to teach him to ride his bike, when we ditched the bike and headed for the water.

What's in a name?

For me it means hope, rediscovery and progress. Feyac Blurk was the first word I ever wrote and why not use it for my first blog. My mother and father claim it was so adorable to them that it was nearly my brother's name. I have lost my art and have decided that this will be a great way to chronicle my journey finding it.

Starting today

I have considered starting a blog for a little while now. I have been looking at blogs for a few months and am so encouraged and inspired by what I have found. Wonderful people sharing in such a wonderful way. So here I am after I had a friendly conversation with a gentleman today and decided what am I waiting for? I will admit I am concerned that some people will not appreciate what I have to say here but my intention is to find encouragement and to be a positive and giving contributor to this medium.
