 Garden rose (an excerpt from)
A Little Budding Rose by Emily Bronte It was a little budding rose, Round like a fairy globe, And shyly did its leaves unclose Hid in their mossy robe, But sweet was the slight and spicy smell It breathed from its heart invisible.

 Thanks again, Susan!
 "Now Autumn's fire burns slowly along the woods
and day by day the dead leaves fall and melt..." William Allingham, Irish poet This leaf looks like it could tell some stories... :-)  My friend Susan Miller of Sue's Nook fame created this beautiful herbal fairy rock garden and wrote this delightful poem to go along with it! Check out Sue's other thoughts, poems, stories and more... here! Dancing with Fairies
by Susan Witmer Miller Are you feeling sad And a little blue? Come along with me -- there's a place for you. Follow the rainbow, Tiptoe past the moon, And glide over stars -- You'll arrive there soon. When you reach that land -- Worries disappear Sadness turns to joy No more hurts or fear. Snuggle with a rabbit Play tag with a deer Dance with a humming bird Stay a day or a year. In the land of fairies Your youth will return. As your cares melt away, You'll dance among the ferns. Stroll among the herbs -- Daydream by the pond -- With this peaceful place -- You'll form a lasting bond. When your visit ends You'll feel refreshed and free And grateful for your journey To the land of Fantasy! “Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes...” |

Since we're on the subject of baking, I thought I'd share my Christmas cookie poem...
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christ-Mac and
Hoppy New Year!

As we adopted him in May, this is Mac's first Christmas with us. We are so thankful for him! He's become a "therapy bunny" of sorts for us, helping heal and restore joy to our hearts after losing our beloved Tyler last Christmas after a long illness.
Praying the love of God fills your hearts and home this Christmas week, and trusting Him to restore everything that's been lost for you and your loved ones.

Mac's cozy Christmas cage In honor of Christmas, Mac wrote a special poem:
Forget about Santa
It's all about Jesus!
For He made the cuteness
That truly is me-sus!
I said to myself,
“Relax and rest.
God has showered you with blessings.
Soul, you’ve been rescued from death;
Eye, you’ve been rescued from tears;
And you, Foot, were kept from stumbling.”
Psalm 116:7-8 The Message (MSG)

Jude 1:1-2 (The Message)
I, Jude, am a slave to Jesus Christ and brother to James,
writing to those loved by God the Father,
called and kept safe by Jesus Christ.
Relax, everything’s going to be all right;
rest everything’s coming together;
open your hearts, love is on the way!
