The Little Bumble Bee


The little bumble bee goes about its day doing its thing, flying from flower to flower. Bumble bees are not aggressive but when they become agitated they can sting multiple times. I had one sting me multiple times. The poor thing flew up my sleeve while I was driving. This is how I discovered I was allergic. My arm turned purple and hurt for quite some time. I went to the doctor and had to be treated. I love watching these bees but I must admit since I was stung I take precautions not to disturb them.

I love Nature.

Image
I took this picture across the street from my home. I am fortunate to live in one of the most beautiful places on earth...The Pacific Northwest. I love nature. It's so simple and pure. Have you ever seen something like in this picture and stood there and contemplated just being? I remember taking a deep breath and just letting it out. Nature is so relaxing. I like how I can stand still, listening, and feeling everything around me, the wind, the sounds, and even the smells. It all allows me to connect to my environment, and to me appreciate it even more. Have you ever listened long enough to hear the trees creek, the leaves rustle, then the many different kinds of birds chirping, rustling in the trees or undergrowth, watched the ants on their different kinds of missions? Raising children these were all things that I loved pointing out to them....The world has so many little worlds on it, it's a truly amazing and beautiful place.

Life Shapes You........

Growing up no one thought I would ever have any kids. Why, because I didn't want to have anything to do with them. I think I babysat one time, after that I always said no. I chose to babysit animals, mostly horses for our next door neighbor. Growing up I was totally a horse person. I loved the quiet time to think and talk to the horses. I spent hours and hours by myself. I was the youngest of eight children but being that my closest sibling was 5 years older then I, it felt more like growing up an only child. Over the years I have thought about how I felt about how I grew up, there are some things that shaped me that I believe altered my divine path. I think the number one thing, was that being so much younger then the rest of my siblings, I was always left out. I was always told I was to young to play games with them, to young to go on outings, and so I was hardly ever included...at least not enough for me to form any lasting memories of togetherness with my siblings. I a

Walls

Image
Over the years I have found that the things that I have experienced in life has caused me to build many walls. Many say that others actions don't effect anyone but themselves but I do not believe this. Our actions always effect those around us. I was born into a large family. I am the youngest of eight children and I was not planned. When I was only one year old one of my brothers was killed by two drunk drivers that were following each other in separate cars. The first car hit the pickup that my brother was a passenger, the pickup was spun around and was cross ways in the road. My brothers friend who was driving had hurt his knee and my brother got out to go around the pickup to check on his friend, that is when the second car came around the bend and slammed into the pickup throwing my brother a distance. This driver continued his motion and ran over my brothers body. The accident report says that there were tire tracks across my brothers chest. This incident has effect
