the shady grove...

slowly we learn

quickly we grow

being totally open to learn determines how rapid our growth will be

the morning light casts shadows upon the once tiny arms and tiny little toes

stumbling upon the day, you use your self will and strength within to get to safety





growing

learning

do not whither within this morning light dear Daniel

my baby....

the newness of your birth has faded as quickly as the prairie grasses 

i will find a shady grove to keep the shadows...

  1. Hi dear Anne Marie, you never cease to amaze me with all that you do in your house, even decorating for halloween when - hello - you do have 6 children including a very small and totally beautiful baby.
    These latest pics are wonderful, so pure. You're right, save these images in your heart

    And those red beautiful chicks: the sign of a pure, natural little boy, growing in the nature!!!
