Joy in the Journey

Are You Traveling Your Life’s Road

Filled With Joy?

There are so many analogies to life as a journey.  I picked up this print by Billy Jacobs at a sale and it gave thought to the journey of life.

Fruits of Summer

Abundance

We are in the time of summer harvest of fruits and vegetables to grace our tables with fresh food.  A favored fruit is the watermelon with its rich color and succulent sweet taste.  Watermelon is a welcome addition to many summer gatherings.  Young and old alike enjoy this tasty treat on a hot summer day.
