Others might have just walked past the heart...........you have an eye for magic. Oma Linda

I agree with Linda... you find the beauty where others get lost in the big picture.

You were missed. As always, thank you for sharing. It is part of what makes you special.

December 16, 2013 at 12:18 PM

A brier leaf, and it is a heart, so cool! The two seem like opposite things.

December 16, 2013 at 1:37 PM

The heart... how fitting.

I love it when someone notices the gifts of nature. I had wondered why you were so quiet. I thought blogger had messed up again and I had lost you. Glad you took a break if needed. I need to look up a recipe for venison stew. I now have a deer in my freezer : )

Maybe you disappeared on purpose, just to see much we love and miss you. And I? I would be afraid that I would be forgotten if I did that.

Morning Gail - did you ever hear the term "she wears er heart on er sleeve" - that is a good thing and a nice compliment. I like your "heart". Have a lovely day :)

December 17, 2013 at 6:24 AM

Awesome picture, I am so glad you are back. :) I always enjoy my morning coffee with you. So I was so sad each morning, so now all is right with the world.

December 17, 2013 at 10:45 AM

You have been missed. I hope you and your husband are both well.

It's good to see you back. I only post about once a week now myself, andI read and comment even less often.

I do try to get caught up every time, though!

Merry Christmas, Gail.
