Three New Puppies at Jem and Amelia's Farm!
2 Little Black Puppies! Yes, Count Them!
I Present to you Dear Reader....Harper and Leelo!
They are very difficult to capture on camera together! And they are very difficult to capture in all of their cuteness being mostly black!
A brother and sister duo cruelly dumped on a busy country road on the day of a bad hurricane! Zuzu picked them up, they were probably all of 6 weeks old. What kind of a person dumps little puppies like this let alone the day of a hurricane arriving!? Hurricanes are not fun. I've noticed that when the south is on the receiving end of a hurricane that there is not much notice but when some other states in other areas of the country get a hangnail, oh my goodness, it's the end of the world for them and much ado is made.
Oh and That Lilly Tiger.....Lil Tiger!
This adorable little lady also cruelly dumped, probably around 1 year old according to our vet just hopped in the car with our youngest daughter, Grace! She was waiting in the middle of the road all by her lonesome and Grace almost hit her, she pulled over and it was like...."Oh, so you're my ride! My new family" She is a lovely cream and grey stripe. She runs like the wind and is a sweetheart.
I Love the Shadows and Light of the Fall
I walked into Grace's room to bring a lost item and I just had to stop and take the feel of it in.
Her walls are a lovely light opal blue.
She is not only a photographer but an artist also. The white wooden desk was my dad's when he was very young. The poor little drawers need a little work to get them to go in easily but they work!
The old green chest was my dad's and was already old when he was using it. He attended school at Gulfport Military Academy in Biloxi Mississippi and became Captain there as a senior. ...Oh the stories I have.
Girls Just Want to Have Fun!
Following are pics of me, our daughters and grandchildren on a very fun day!

Me and Zuzu
Swinging in front of the old School House, such a simple pleasure.
Little Batman and Christopher Robin, two of our little grandsons, having a plumb wonderful day!
More fun with our precious grandchildren being silly... Christopher Robin, Little Batman and Little Rosebud.
At Home at School...
Christopher Robin excited about school, all of our grandchildren are homeschooled and that is a blessing. I still homeschool myself!
Oh the Imagination and mind of a child...Little Batman's World.
My Girlfriend
My girlfriend, Liesl. She is my sweet friend, she doesn't talk behind my back, is never jealous and loves me just the way I am! We take walks together. I loved the autumn light shining on her here at nap time. She is faithful. People could learn from Liesl.
My Husband
This is Jem, my husband as most of you know...He's my bestfriend. We really enjoy being together when we can when he's not working at our office or our farm.
Now for some...
COMMON SENSE that is Kinda Funny But TRUE!
...Actually pretty darn EXCELLENT. Sometimes things happen and I feel like these two memes clarify very well:
...I've seen this movie before, unfortunately, people can be very insecure and just mean.
This is when you walk away from that movie...Sometimes we must die to self and let them have the last word.
Now For Some FUN!
I hope you enjoy this fun song! I love the 40s as you probably already know Dear Reader, this is just so precious to me. This a great sing-a-long to do things around the house...You could even whip up a dance routine as you carry your laundry basket or cook in the kitchen or exercise or whatever! So fun.
The Nelson Brothers will come on at around 4:17 on this, they are something else!

Now For Something to Feed and Nurture Our Souls...
Janie, our eldest daughter sent this to all of our family this morning and I just thought this rang so true to my heart and just beautiful...When I heard this song...I knew...I must put this on my blog and so I thought...Why not today? I try to listen to the Holy Spirit in my heart and I felt I needed to get this up today. Many of us have things in the background, elderly parents, my son in law has a very sweet father with stage four cancer and life can be a real up and down. If you are one of the few highly sensitive people as myself, you will know it is a Gift but also can be trying, we feel things far deeper than most and are keenly intuitive.

I Get Overwhelmed by Abbie Gamboa. Words are in link when you click on more in description. I hope you will be blessed by this song.
In closing, I hope you all have been doing well. It seems by the time I take my walk and do a load of laundry and compose a nice dinner I can barely squeeze my designing and sewing in...and throw in THREE new puppies!
I made a delicious veggie soup this week, a sprinkling of lentils, organic spinach, some frozen asparagus, garlic and onion simmered in olive oil all in an Italian based tomato and basil broth. Oh so good! I served this with brown rice spaghetti on the side, everyone can place their amount of pasta in the bowl before ladling the soup over it. Jem likes to sprinkle Italian cheese on his, I sprinkle Italian sheep's milk cheese on mine. Bella!
I hope you are having a sweet and contemplative week in a happy kind of way, may we lift our country up in prayer. As a well respected person by our family once said...
All great change in America begins at the dinner table.
Signing off from The Forest Cathedral.
Blessings! ~Amelia
Let me know what you all have been up to!

Amelia,
How are you? Well, I know how you are because I read this post! 😂
There is so much here. First, adorable puppies! Thank you for sharing them with us. Second, I love that the headboard is a window. Third, the door has a frame around it like a picture! I LOVE IT! And that dollhouse red couch, wow, where in the world did you get that? I love all the pics here. Fun. It is good to see goodness.
I am still blogging and writing things. Beef stew soup is in the crockpot.
Good to see you!
Sandi at Dandelion Tea
What wonderful sweet puppies. They are so fortunate that you have them - as they will be living their best lives now!
Your family is gorgeous. Such sweet, sweet pictures.
I love the stoop where the boys are sitting - the wooden steps with the Coca-Cola logo.
Glad to see you post - you sound happy.
Doing well on this end and growing into myself more each day.
Blessings to you and yours.
Hi Sandi! So great to hear from you too! : )
I wish I could be credited with the framed door but that was actually a gift shop we were all at and the red dollhouse couch was at another gift shop with a little eatery in the back! : ) I agree though, I just love those things! Grace does have the window for her headboard though, I think it's neat too.
You sound like you are doing so good, Sandi. I'll have to stop in for a visit soon! : ) It sounds like you had a cozy evening!
~Amelia
Hi Cheryl, Great to hear from you. Thank you! We have fun together and it's a treat to get everyone's schedules to come together so this was a special day.
I like the way you put that: "...growing into myself more each day." Oh I so get that! Yes! Our youngest gave me a neat dark academia victorian bookmark that says something to the effect of...I'm only posing as an adult, I've got most people fooled! (something like that). Very few people see that care-free side of me.
I too just love the Coco-cola stoop, that gift shop is amazing! We spent over an hour in that little gift shop! The owner really knows what she is doing, it's in an original old house.
The puppies are fun and keep me busy, it's sweet, Lil Tiger watches over Harper and Leelo, we're suspicious that Lilly (Lil Tiger) had puppies, she had signs of that at first but then again she also has a tiny tattoo indicating a spay that was hidden under her fur. The vet's office called after she had been prepped for surgery so it's very confusing but she has been very motherly and also loves to play with the little pups and it's very entertaining and sweet to watch.
God is my anchor for sure, He has been good to me, I can't complain even through trials, I know He is yours too. God's blessings to you too.

Oh what a lovely and fun post! And such a great day out shopping together! I just love the new pups! So sweet and so glad y’all were able to take them in!
Good quotes and very true.
The pictures of the boys crack me up. 😂
What a fun song you shared too! It’s a great house work song to get you moving. ☺️
Thank you A! Oh yes, on those special days it's like we're kind of like we're living without a care for that special time. A Gift. The puppies bring such joy, such little blessings. When you look into our pets eyes, we see such appreciation and love from the Lord.
The song really is fun...I caught myself with the laundry basket doing a dance much like Bill Bo Jangles Robinson in the Shirley Temple movie, 'Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farms' when they were all dancing in the background while with the chorus was singing on the radio advertising the cereal! Oh my heart! : )
I am so glad you were able to post, especially with the new puppies! We have yet to get a dog because of all the care that having a dog
entails. And I know what you mean exactly about a walk, laundry, and preparation of a nice dinner...you are singing my song here! I keep remembering how much more I was able to do back, well not that many years ago! I made a lentil soup this week too. I find myself craving lentils at this time of year.
I enjoyed seeing all your family too.
And one more thing though I could go on...those brass players in the 1940 video you embedded...what fun! I loved watching them.
Blessings.
Hi Cathy, This is Amelia. I’m having to comment anonymously so to speak because our internet tower is being worked on. It affects everything including phones.
Thank you so much for your sweet comment! I think I may do (green) peas and pasta this evening, an old , old Italian recipe.
Bless you Cathy, Amelia
I love all the pictures— a sneak peak into your every day, which I always enjoy seeing from others. :) the pups are so sweet and very cute, too!
These little boys sure are a mess, aren’t they? They are partners in crime for sure. That was a fun and memorable day! I enjoy my little things I bought that day.
That is such a good song. I want to listen to Kalamazoo again too! I will play it later as a pick me up when I do laundry later today. ;)
Yes to the Ronald Reagan quote! So good!
Hello Dear MP, Yes, isn't it fun to peak in other's every days? I just love it too, it's like a sweet women's meeting visiting with kindred spirits! : )
I'm thinking more and more of the Ronald Reagan quote these days, it seems so many are not minding their own business in their season of life and many times letting their homes and children suffer or they are in an almost apathetic cloud of not knowing or understanding the times and in a very dangerous passivity. Oh the dangerous deception we see.
Kalamazoo is definitely a quick pick me up right? : ) I never tire of it...And yes...Those little boys...They make me smile hugely. They are a genuine mess in a good way.
Thanks for your sweet comment! <3
What sweet pics of your little doggie buddies! Little Leelo and Harper are so cute!
Pics of Grace's room are really nice, with the memories of some of the furniture too. She is such a good artist and that shows in her room too!
What a fun day that was when we all spent time together shopping! I love the pics! I love all how all the grandkids enjoy each others' company too... so special! What great memories we made :)
So sweet of Christopher Robin's starting school and Little Batman's playful imagination !
Good pic of Dad too... what a blessing that y'all enjoy spending time together so much!
The Kalamazoo song is cute! The Nelson brothers definitely add some flare - so fun! And I'm so very glad that you have enjoyed and shared the Abbie Gamboa song too! Lydia and i were just saying how much we both love that song too! It is so good and I do believe it was the Holy Spirit that caused me to share that.
All good quotes and the soup sounds yummy!
We have been so busy with the girls here. They just left this morning and I am wiped out but we had a great time! And now enjoying the lovely fall weather!
Have a happy day... love you! <3
p.s. Anna calls me "Leloo" - very similar to your puppy's name! lol.
Hello There, Little Mama Mia, Thanks for the sweet and thoughtful comment!
Yes, that furniture in Grace's room...If only it could talk. I think of my daddy often and miss him. I hear him talking through me many times! lol I always loved his advise and wisdom at times.
That sure was a fun day, it sure was. : )
That's so funny that Anna calls you Leelo, how cute is that? I was thinking when I was trying to name the two little black puppies...And the name Harper Lee came to mind, it's that time of year for 'To Kill a Mockingbird' and her life was so fascinating to me...Thus, Harper and Leelo!
Have a sweet and relaxing evening! xo<3 love you too dear one.
The picture of you with your daughters and grandchildren is so precious! You are so blessed with a lovely family! God bless you all!
What an adorable introduction to Harper and Leelo! It's heartwarming to hear that these two little black puppies have found their way to Jem and Amelia's farm despite their rough start. Your vivid description highlights both their cuteness and the unfortunate circumstances that brought them there. It's so sad to think about how some people can abandon animals, especially in such dangerous weather. Your thoughts on the media's response to hurricanes compared to other events add an interesting perspective, showing how different regions cope with adversity. I'm sure Harper and Leelo will bring plenty of joy and energy to the farm!
I just shared a new post; you are invited to read. Happy weekend!
Thank you so much Mrs. White, God bless you and your family too and may God be with us all!
Hi Melody, How good of you to stop by! Thank you so much for your encouragement! It means the world. I appreciate your heartfelt and well thought out comment, it means the world to me, it's been a difficult week. I'll have to come and visit your blog too, I love meeting new blogging friends!
God bless and be with you! ~Amelia
Your family is gorgeous, Amelia. 😊
Thank you! It's so good of you to take the time to stop by and leave such a sweet and encouraging comment! : ) Blessings! ~Amelia
g'morning. :) so thankful to visit your little home in blogdom. such a lovely outing with your daughters and grands. love the Reagan quote.. and sweet Liesl who reminds me of my sweet Evelyn. as to the rescued puppies, i'm so thankful they were all at the right place and time to be lovingly embraced to safety. i don't understand the wickedness in some people to dump animals. excellent memes about manipulation and maintaining quiet as a response. without going into detail, i know all about that sort of mess. :/ i always smile when i read or notice that one's husband is the best friend. that's how it is for us as well. blessings on your day, amelia.
Aw thank you Sherry! Your comment is a Gift to me, I would love to 'meet' Evelyn. I bet she is so sweet. I just so appreciate the comradery in your sweet and caring comment, you have no idea.
Our little Harper passed away Nov. 2nd in my arms as we were rushing her to the vet early one morning. It's a long story, two conflicting diagnosis, one was that of eating a flower plant that is poisonous.
I so appreciate you, Sherry, God bless and be with you! ~Amelia
