O is for Owl

April 17, 2013 By Talya Tate Boerner

Wordless Wednesday…

We rescued an owl in our back yard last spring… 
This spring an entire family has moved in!

We Muggles are thrilled☺ 

Don’t count your owls before they are delivered… – Albus Dumbledore

G is for Give

April 8, 2013 By Talya Tate Boerner

Give generously.
Recognize life’s blessings and
Abundant gifts.
Create a peaceful, loving
Enviroment.

Give with spirit
Remembering what is real and
Important. Tell the
Tale, no matter how difficult.
Someone, somewhere needs to hear.

Give thanks to Mother Earth, live in
Awe of her
Remarkable splendor.
Dream and keep the faith
Even when twisty vines
Never produce fruit.
It is in the
Natural, selfless
Giving that we receive.

Mercy, Mercy Me – Marvin Gaye
