I made this Christmas painting for my cousin’s gift this year and she opened it so I can finally post it. I added jewels this time.
Three wise men. Literally.
Here is little me Christmas 1978. Read my newly updated Christmas in the 70s vs. Today. 2018 is too woke for Christmas. Copy and paste the link. http://www.victoriafedden.com/widelawns/2015/12/2/christmas-in-the-70s-vs-christmas-today
After last night I’m really feeling Christmasy. 🎄⭐️🎄
We had an enchanting evening getting in the Christmas spirit at the Sample McDougald house.
Social media can be great, or it can cause a lot of unnecessary drama and misery. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, especially as I observe my own social media habits and those of others. Here’s what I’ve concluded. Social media can be a tool for goodness and positivity if we turn our lenses outward instead of inward onto our selves all the time. Share what you love, what makes you happy, thrilled, excited, inspired. I want to see the beauty in your life. Show me the world through your eyes. Look at THIS not Look at ME. It’s a metaphor. 💕
I cannot recommend this place enough. It’s free (5$ donation suggested), beautiful, hidden and a wonderful place to walk and reconnect with nature.
This is a Butterfly Pea. It is used to make a natural, edible blue dye and is used for tea. It’s scientific name is Clitoria Ternatea. I have no idea why they’d name it that. 😳
I haven’t seen a good beach sunset in a while.
This is a collage I made like 20 years ago. I found it during my fall cleaning yesterday and took a photo before trashing it. I kind of like it, but I couldn’t come up with a reason to keep it. Nothing is precious. So I’m preserving it digitally instead.
My cousin sent Autumn leaves from up north. 🍂
In honor of Veterans Day, my two grandfathers. I miss them both very much. The one on the left is who I’m named after.
The children at my daughter’s school planted milkweed hoping the butterflies would come. And they did. Now there are monarch caterpillars everywhere!
Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻 💀
