Luv Mud...Love Maine

Maine is where the mud is...
Or will be soon.
Our very own special season of the year.
Mud Season..gotta love it...
Winter+Mud+Magic = Spring
Mud is where the heart is in Maine.


Seriously..I really do love mud, clay, ceramics..my first true love before photography, even before Harry (my wonderful husband) and children and grandchildren. Clay will always be a part of me. Just think about it..without it what would there (we) be?  

I have loved mud since I was a very little girl that would be about when I was 3 or so so it has been a 63 love affair with me and mud, and clay, and the earth...mud pies, "duck" soup with sticks and stones mixed in..to gardening and potting plants...to a ceramics major in college and grad school to teaching and sharing my mud love with 100's of junior high kids over a 15 year period..that's a lot of mud!

Dance Among Coral Peonies And Blue Skies

Time to dance
Among the coral peonies
And cobalt blue skies.
Time to be free and fresh
And young once again.



Enjoy Willie Nelson singing one of my favorite songs, "Blue Skies Smiling At Me",  at the end...it is classic, sweet and old fashioned..just like me!  LOL

Amazing Grace

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed...


"La vie est belle!" Life is beautiful!

I had always thought of Whitney Houston when I thought of this beautiful gospel song.  But, today I have discovered that Leann Rimes renders a vocal performance that is exquisite, soulful, and inspiring.  Enjoy her on YouTube at the end, after you finish seeing all these beautiful treasures I found on Etsy! 

I feel blessed to know some people who have amazing grace...Our Aunt Ginny first comes to mind...she is like an angel on earth...we are blessed to have people with grace among us.

To think about

James Ryle has suggested "Grace is the empowering Presence of God enabling you to be who He created you to be, and to do what He has called you to do." 

Alternatively Bill Gothard has suggested "Grace gives us the desire and the power that God gives us to do his will."[1] Both of these definitions make good sense of the word grace throughout the Bible."
