Life's Time by Eve Kelly

April 2, 2011

I look forward to see my past
I stare at my reflection
And reflect on where I’ve been
I’m here on the pathway of time
And I can’t gain one extra minute
Nor can I save one from the day gone
What I’ve lived, I’ve spent
And I can’t save any
I’ve had to use all
But have I done well
I’m in perpetual motion
Can’t stop or stay
Have to keep going, spending
Until there’s no more to spend

Vintage Herb Camper

After a busy morning of treasure hunting at local garage sales, Sarah and I visited this vintage camper turned herb shop. ♥'d it! I was so inspired, that I just stood back and daydreamed while looking at it all *sigh* Made me want one so badly.....

Happy Easter Everyone!

Hubby and I took a nice walk together on the nature trail today - both of us clicking away with our cameras. We don't have a lot of alone time, and it was so nice with all the peace and quiet - something we rarely have together. We captured Spring and, also some beautiful remnants of fall. The deer stood so still that they seemed almost unreal. Truly, "This is a day that the Lord hath made. We will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24.

Chocolate Dessert Recipe

Here it is at your request ;O)

1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups thawed Cool Whip
30 Chips Ahoy Cookies

Pour one cup of milk into a medium bowl. Add 1 pkg., 4 serving size Jello-O Instant Pudding and Pie Filling. Beat with wire wisk until well blended (2 min). Gently stir in Cool Whip. Spread about 2 tsp pudding mixture onto each cookie. Begin stacking cookies together, standing on edge on serving platter to make a log. Frost with remaining pudding mixture. Top with raspberries and chocolate disks (disks are made drizzling melted chocolate chips in a circular lacy pattern onto wax paper until cool. Once cooled, remove from wax paper and place atop cake). Refrigerate 4-5 hours before serving.

Use your imagination and experiment with other types of cookies and pudding flavors! Yummy!

♥♥♥ Chocolate Dessert ♥♥♥

Thought I'd try this chocolate, raspberry dessert recipe for dinner today. They say that you should never try a new recipe on guests, but it actually turned out to be one of those wonderful surprises - you know - the kind that makes you move the cool, refreshing, chocolaty goodness around on all of your taste buds before swallowing. Everyone loved it! :O) !♥

Ice Balloons

On my way to work, I saw these balloons hanging on a post - obviously the remnants of someone's celebration. They were covered in ice from a recent winter storm. Knowing they would melt as the day wore on, I stopped and took pics.

Sarah and Mikey

We had our own special chef today - white cap and all! What a treat and what a fabuuulous dinner we had! Thanks Mikey!♥

A Cup of Coffee Shared With a Friend is Happiness Tasted and Time Well Spent

It's freezing cold outside and I haven't had the courage to venture out, but that's ok, I was able to get this painting/collage done. The collage paper at the very top looks much better in real life, and if you click on it for a close up; it looks better, too. Hope you like it!

Coffee Collage/Taste and See That the Lord is Good

I've been working on this collage on gallery wrapped canvas today. It isn't quite finished yet, but this is it for now. You can click on it to read the verse (Taste and see that the Lord is Good)and to get a better view. I'll post more photos when the sides are done. Thanks for stopping by. See you later!

Handmade Christmas Candy Cards

I've been wanting to do something creative so badly, and this morning was the perfect time to do just that! The roads are yucky, a beautiful, lazy, Christmasy snow is falling and here I am, doing what I love to do and basking in the wonderfulness of it all!

Vintage Christmas

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

So much to be thankful for - it would take me forever to list all of my blessings. Turkey is in the oven, potato salad is done - I'm in between desserts right now - strawberry pretzel salad and chocolate trifle. I took a minute and stepped out on the back deck - beautiful out here with a soft gray mist coming down to earth and softening everything, giving a dreamy feeling - smoke drifting lazily, to and fro from the neighbors chimney, fresh air on flushed cheeks from a morning of zealous cooking. I close my eyes briefly with arms folded across my chest, I take a deep breath and linger for just a moment before turning back to the kitchen. Family will be here before long - trifle ingredients are calling from the kitchen. God bless you all, and Happy Thanksgiving!

November Sky

When I awoke this morning and looked up at the stark, gray November sky, I made the decision that I would not let cold, lack of color take away my inner peace. On purpose, I began to enjoy the benefits of my decision. As I thought of ways to photograph the beauty of the oncoming winter, I felt myself wanting it to hurry up and snow, so I could capture all of the beautiful possibilites. With the cognitive shift, came creative thoughts of snow nestled in empty milkweed pods and on red berries that are still viable on the tree that stands near the trash receptacle outside my office, and delicate, weathered Queen Anne's Lace - on and on the thoughts came throughout the day, crowding out otherwise negative ones.
