Happy New Year.....

I closed my eyes for just one second, when I awoke I saw that time had slipped away...but I was left with many a sweet memory to sustain me in my days...

May it be a Blessed and prosperous one for all!!!
Blessings,Flora

Mama Said

Mama Said


Mama said " Come home Nellie "
Nellie said " Why?"
Mama said " Come home Nellie!"
Nellie said " I will,by and by."
Mama said " Come home Nellie my stubborn little one!
The day is almost gone and your chores aren't done!"
Nellie said " Ok Mama...Here I come."
Mama said "That's my sweet sugar bun."

Sweet little Nellie would love nothing better than to play all day in the woods, but there are chores to be done, and never enough time to do what needs to be done, let alone do what we want! Which in her case is nothing, she kinda reminds me of someone? hmmmmmm? This raggamuffin is gonna take her turn on The Humble Arts we are having our new uploads this weekend. And if you want to get, while the getting is good, you better make sure that you are there!!! I'm a lot like Nellie and I've let time get away from me, lets hope I'm not too late.

We will never pass this way again

My sweet munchkins are already 5 mo.old,I can't believe it! They are so very handsome in their new Easter outfits and they look like such little gentlemen in this pic.
They got a taste of their first real food a couple of days ago, cereal...so many "firsts" already reached and crossed . In the blink of an eye it'll be old hat, along with every other milestone they will soon cross.
Time...it used to go so achingly slow...now gone in an instant and most of the time I can't remember what day it is anymore. I wake up and it's Friday again!!!...
Which is good I guess, but sometimes it's scarey, maybe because there is no turning back.
It's like the line in the old Seals & Crofts song " We may never pass this way again ".....
