Focus on life–week 19–hope

*she croaks* Hi folks!  I’m late to posting this week’s picture in the focus on life series from Sally Russick of the Studio Sublime.  I just attempted to read a bed time story and only got half way through – she will have to wait until tomorrow to see where the fat rat is running with the pat of butter.  I’m SICK.  Averleigh had it the last week, nasty sore throat and five days of fever and general malaise, well, she passed the torch. 

This week had us searching for a picture to capture some hope in our lives.  I didn’t take anything that really spoke to me but I did have a email appear on Wednesday from my dad simply titled “Averleigh and friend”.  I know how much she has been hoping for this day to come back around.  Last summer, feeding “chippy” was a regular thing.  A long winter later he has finally reappeared this week.  I bet he was hoping for her as much as she was hoping for him.

More tea, more ginger, more drugs for me and this will pass.  Off to see what hope was seen through so many lenses on Sally’s post.

  5. Echanicea... try it, I was pleasantly surprised... Hope you feel better soon. Love the picture glad chippy is back! THink it's the same one? We had our first hummingbird today but the feeder had sunflowerseeds in it.. he seemed quite ticked off... have switched feeders but he may have moved on in disgust!

    Wish deer liked dandylions then they might leave my lilies alone, have given up on tulips!

  6. Sweet! I can't believe the chipmunk is so tame. Mostly they run away when they hear me tromping by.
