What the Heart Sees ....

Gary and I took a short ride one day last week and ended up on some of the back roads around Easton.   The highlight of that trip was this old barn complex.   I surely would have loved to have gotten closer.  I took these pictures while walking along the edge of a deep ditch on a fairly busy road.   I wonder what people think as they are driving along a roadway and see a not-so-young woman trying to maneuver her way along a ditch and stopping every few feet to point a camera at some old buildings.   These are not the best pictures in the world, but they do look a little better if you click on them and view them larger.








I love those two silos with the open windows at the top.   And I love the cupula on the barn all the way to the left.


I wonder if growing up on a farm makes me love things like this even more than I normally would?

For Love of Hearts

It's Friday, and I'm linking up with Kati for Photo Friday (the Hearts edition).   Kati challenged us to find photos of hearts in unexpected places.   Here are two of mine:




Gary often volunteers to run to the grocery store for me when I need just a few items (one of the many things I love about his retirement).   Upon returning home on one of his recent outings, he presented me with this heart-shaped potato.    How sweet.   Have you ever discovered love in the midst of grocery shopping?







Last Autumn, we made a trip to Bethlehem, PA to visit the old Bethlehem Steel Plant.   While walking the grounds, I spotted this heart in the midst of a rusty pillar.

“Love is not written on paper, for paper can be erased. Nor is it etched on stone, for stone can be broken. But it is inscribed on a heart and there it shall remain forever."


Thanks, Kati, for hosting Photo Friday.   Here is a link so you can visit Kati and see the heart she has captured ....




Love each other deeply, with all your heart.
(1 Peter 1:22)

Polka Dots, Ruffles and Roses


























































I'm loving these Martha Stewart polka dot cupcake papers, available at Michael's.    I haven't filled them yet because once I fill them, I will be like this:

“On Saturday, she ate through one piece of chocolate cake, one ice-cream cone, one pickle, one slice of Swiss cheese, one slice of salami, one lollipop, one piece of cherry pie, one sausage, one cupcake, and one slice of watermelon.

That night she had a stomach ache.”
― Eric Carle, The Very Hungry Caterpillar
(I took license to change the "he" in the original quote to a "she")




Pink, Yellow, Polka Dots, Ruffles, Roses, Daffodils, Hollyhocks, Butterflies, Yellow Dresses, Teacups .... I think I could have a tea party!



And ... oh my word ... you have to check out Pinterest !!!  (smile)
