We are all fighting for those tranquil moments when everything feels just right, we take a deep breath, and are satisfied. It is food for our souls...and it IS necessary. I think it only becomes indulgent when we eat too much of it! :) PenniTown Common Folk Art Dolls by Penni Sadlonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05391941607807736934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153120810861642199.post-79547744918827889322010-08-20T06:21:48.741-05:002010-08-20T06:21:48.741-05:00What a beautiful garden to have so near your home....What a beautiful garden to have so near your home.

I think I'll go spend a half hour in my sewing room, however, and pray for the person who will receive the prayer quilt I'm quilting.
