Spring is here!!

 Hello Spring!! 
🌸🌸🌸🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌷🌷🌷 🌷🌷🌷 🌷🌷🌷
peace for the world

Peace

 I had to escape in drawing the details.

I hope these sunset, the colorful rugs and ornaments,

quilts, animals and flowers will help to ease

the anxiety and sadness the world is feeling today,

even a little bit. I am praying, praying for peace.

Love & Peace

Happy New Year!! 2022

My 2022 started very quietly in quarantine. Lots of readings and it reminded me of my dad who read me many books when I was little. 
He is not on Earth anymore, but you know what? I can see him whenever I open the books we shared. 


Happy New Year!!
May the New Year bless you with health, happiness, and lot's of magic!! 
💙💙💙

Winter is Here

 

I am waiting for the first snow. I think I saw flurries outside my window. Soon it will be a winter wonderland.
Got enough hot chocolate?A fluffy cat?
Stay warm everyone!

June is Father's Month

This one is for my dad who left us decades ago and now in the sky. I only know him as a little girl. But I still remember things he taught me while we were hiking. He was a quiet mountain guy who loved to be in nature. He would teach me about wildflowers and animals. Happy Birthday💕I miss you dad.
