Home Sweet Home

I am grateful on this day, 
Monday 6th December 2010,
for my 'home sweet home'...
where my love always 
makes sure the
'home fire' is burning bright ...
keeping our toes toastie
melting our 'yeti boots'!

You provided us with a "two for" today. Both are moving and deeply meaningful. Bellini's is a favorite of mine.

Is this the same Bellini that made the canopy in St. Peter's Basilica?

You have a beautiful home and hearth and it is made all the more so by the love and gratitude that resides within. The outside photo looks like a Christmas card, so lovely, and your pup is incredibly sweet. Your photo of the virgin is magnificent, rich and interesting. I love the name, "Madonna of the Small Trees".
xo,

What a beautiful sweet cottage you have! And all that snow, wow. It looks like a real Winter Wonderland. And that cute dog who obviously couldn't resist the white magic...

Today I'm taking a little me time, doing what I love to do, just digital doodling. My mind has been on dolls, motherhood, Mary and the coming season. Recently an acquaintance posted about  ' Rag Doll ',  this is me at the moment, I feel a bit like a rag doll, the stuffing has been knocked out a little. So I'm taking time to just be, to gather myself, to see where I can patch things up a bit, maybe a dash of rouge will do the trick!  I'm giving myself some 'Mary mother love'. I'm sending back my thanks via Virgin a Day Recuerda mi Corazon I once had a sweet little doll, dears, The prettiest doll in the world; Her cheeks were so red and so white; dears, And her hair was so charmingly curled. But I lost my poor little doll, dears, As I played in the heath one day; And I cried for her more than a week, dears; But I never could find where she lay. I found my poor

By way of haiku navigate a place called home the 'heart' gathering... On the subject of home and the insecurity of having no solid ground to tread on, that's where I am finding myself at present as I'm in the throws of purchasing a new home and going through a very sticky patch with the legalities of it all.  It's going at a snail's pace and I'
