view from a fish eye


                                                                      I know this is an unusual shot , but I just love it . It is an abandoned house on St. George Island , in dire need of paint and love . If I had lots of money in the bank I may get used to living on an island . We are headed to the regatta at the coast today and should get some good shots. I hope your day is a wonderful one and would you be happy on an island ? Let me know.xxoo Susanne

in the dirt

    Sorry , no pictures because a missing charger for my camera . I feel naked with out pictures, but here goes. I have been working in the garden for the past couple of weeks and am enjoying the close commune with  God's beautiful creation . I have planted 5 oakleaf hydrangeas , a bunch of impatiens , some blue eyed grass and lots of seeds . The seeds are my favorite because you have to wait , no instant gratification , just plant and see ! I hopefully will see zinnias , cosmos , nastursiams ( wow , that spelling ) and caladiums . When I'm not in the garden , I have been cutting out a new quilt , with soft bleached out beach colors . I was inspired by a recent trip to the coast via Hwy 98 . Saw the seaside towns of Gratin , Alys beach , Seaside and Watercolor . I hate all the crowds but loved the old cottages , palmettos , beach towels hanging out and flipflops everywhere I looked . So hence my seaside quilt . Well , I hope your days are beautiful and if you get a moment, go outside , breathe in deep and thank God for his artistry .xxoo, Susanne

one of my peeps

                                         I hope everyone had a great Easter . After an early Sunrise service , my family gathered around for a great dinner and visiting . I look forward to these holidays , the time spent with my family is very important to me . They are my tribe and I need face time with each of them . The older and wiser I get the more I know that belonging to a group of people who care,  falls in the same catagory as food, water and shelter, and having a faith . I am particulary fond of these folks , they make me smile ! Have a great day . xxoo Susanne
