What pleasure!
What treasure!
A special blog-friend who lives in the Napa Valley paints and keeps on painting, though burdened with pain. LINDA, Linda, Linda. Click on her name, you'll find the same liveliness, loveliness and sweetness which I discovered there.
The colorful print--above--Linda sent me a week ago. It is the header of her blog which I have admired for a couple years now, have watched it grow in population, layers, and color.
I've been given also an appreciation of the many different 'seasons' in Sonoma County, from one hill/mountain to the next, different soil, different climate, different grape, different wine. All blest by the Divine.
When you visit LINDA please do a favor for yourself and view her PAINTINGS. Probably for sale, as the grape-growing business has hit hard times, along with all the other parts of our economy...
If Linda allows, I will be posting a piece of her work from time to time. Linda has struggled through much more than "hard times"...as you might read in her profile.
Love and PEACE!

Dear, you are always eager to visit, see new things, new people, and hear new ideas. I know you will stay young for many more years than the numbers will show. Me, too!

JUST BECAUSE TODAY!
Refer something back--anytime. I am as eager as anyone to visit new places. Thanks. PEACE!
LINDA!
As we all have or had issues of one thing or another, most are not like yours...incurable. And you live daily--hourly--with the pain, but stay happy in your work, your love, painting and writing. AND designing your blog sites. Thank you so much for this gift from your heart to mine. I understand. Love and PEACE to you and yours.
What a beautiful image! See how much you are loved!!!
ReplyDeleteYour comments make me smile and laugh. Now why in the world would I want to moderate them? Thank you!
CES!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet comment you left here for Linda. Thank you. And yes, she IS a special person. I could never visit out there though, I'm afraid they won't let a Peep into Sonoma County unless she/he drinks wine. Good night, all! PEACE!
