The Comfort of White

I was hoping to share some outside photos of the flowers on my back deck,

but the storms of the last few days have them beaten down and sad.

My heart is still heavy over the loss that has occurred in our area.

We have a beautiful sunny day today,

but they are saying that it could cause more storms to "fire up" this evening.

Late Spring is a beautiful time of the year,

but the threat of tornadoes and storms

are always in the back of our mind.

I collect old frames of every shape and size;

you never know when an opportunity will come along

to frame some sweet prints or book pages.

This is a page of a wedding album

The white roses and sweet verse about May

sent me searching thru my stash.

And the little antique gift book

expresses my thoughts today,

for all those who are facing tragedy and loss.

A little antique drawstring purse

that is aged, but still so sweet.

Lacey, leafy ironwork on the back of the baker's rack...

And some angel vine in a cottage teapot.

I buy anything that resembles a birdhouse.

A whitewash for Spring and it's heading outside.

Thank you each and every one of you,

who left such sweet comments and prayers

on my last post.

Bless You!

Devastation

I've been glued to CNN all morning just greiving the huge loss and

 devastation  in our neighboring city of Joplin, Missouri.

We are less than an hour from them to the east.

Last evening at about 5:45, a massive EF4 tornado

 went through the main part of town,

literally leveling everything in it's path.

To those of you who know we live in this area, Thankyou, for your love, concern, and prayers for our safety. Please join me in praying for the people here, who are still searching for loved ones. And that God will strengthen and sustain them through this trying time.

much love,

Debra
