Sweet

Sweet sounds of the melody pass my ears

Ageless music of romance lingers in my tears

I feel you here with me and I remember your touch

Play again that sweet song I love so much

Recession Wisdom

13 ~ that's how many recessions the United States has endured since the crash of 1929 (not including the one we're in).  Most were short, you'll be happy to know, and were followed by long periods of prosperity.  Only three lasted more than a year.

Here are a few quotes from pasted recessions that caught my eye and I thought you might also like.

February 1974 ~ Let's not kid ourselves.  Our birthright as Americans, if it is anything, is independence.  It's up to us to see that we don't sell that birthright for a barrel of oil.  Walter J. Hickel, Governor of Alaska 1966-1969, Secretary of the Interior, 1969-1970

February 1963 ~ Prosperity is when people buy things they can't afford; recession is when they stop doing it.  H.E. Martz, The Wall Street Journal

November 1926 ~ The economics of installment selling (buying on credit) is far worse even than at first it seems... Installment buying, as a habit, is enervating to character because it leads straight to serfdom.  If anything is un-American, surely that is!  J. George Frederick, The Independent

...

We have been here before and we will be here again.  Do the best you can with what you have, work hard, play with zest and laugh with family and friends as often as you can.  Live each day, plan for the future, and eat, drink and be merry!

Remember that stuff is just stuff.  You cannot take it with you, it does not fill any voids and most importantly, you can't take it with you!  Be wise about what you spend your money on.

Quilt Number Two of Three

The second quilt that my Great Grandmother started and I was working on is finished. Not the best photo with the shadow of the tree in the corner but with limited daylight you take what you can get.

Addition to the Homestead

The addition to the homestead ~ a greenhouse for an earlier growing season and more tasty goodness from Mom's garden.  Of course there is wood to be bucked, split and stacked for winter.  

Great job on the greenhouse, it is total AWESOME!

Peaceful Weekend Ahead

Here's to a peaceful weekend for everyone!

First Sight of Snow

Yesterday we had our first snow shower of the season.  It was wet melting snow and did not last to the end of the day. Today's forecast is about the same.

PAFA 071517Z 05003KT 5SM BR SCT004 OVC016 M02/M02

There is a little mist in our future. 

This is not really the view from my office but sure wish it was today.

Enjoy your day where ever you are in the changing seasons.

Rose & Azure

It takes time to be at peace within your heart.

Time to find your center, time to know who you are.

Give yourself time to gain wisdom.  Not only an education of the mind, but an education of the heart.

Be at peace among the rose and azure.
