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!

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.

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!
