Finding my Light


We are all starting to settle into our new place...

Curious wonders are around every corner, like a neighbors cat that also sits in his window looking over at our girl Alex.

I take our monkey Julliette (she's really a Chihuahua, but don't try to tell her that) on long walks, checking out our new community,

we stumbled upon a giant old rose bush a few blocks away in a large clearing.

You could smell their sweet scent long before you could see them!

This magnificent specimen was at least seven feet tall and had the shape of a dancing waterfall as it swayed gently in the wind.

It was smothered in fat, fluffy, puffy pink blooms with deep purple centers... hundreds of

wild Texas roses created a most spectacular and welcoming display.

Back at home... everything is different, but mostly the same. I think we are going to love it here!
Home Sweet Home.

It takes time to settle down sometime. My last apartment was so me, that we felt at home immediately. Our new house took about a year to settle and make it feel like home. Some of our family members were new and the house had ghosts, disturbing us. But with some help with time, a witch and the angels the house is ours. I'm planning to plant a lot of roses of the kind you are showing. Wishing you a lovely week in your new home. /Therese

Beautiful photography, Sandra! I'm so jealous of the roses. . .have to wait a bit longer for ours here in Northern Ohio. But I could just conjure up their heavenly fragrance by looking at your images.

Some say that "Home is where the Heart is" and after seeing these pics I'd add that Home is where YOU are. Amasing the cosy feeling one gets by your pics and artfull talents.
And you have a dog and a cat and now I'm hopelessly jeaulous. My dogs hate cats so the chances of having a cat are nil, never going to happen :(.
My kingdom for that cosy, sunny nap on the purple chair.
Wishing you a wonderful time in our new home,
Teresa
