bonding

Second Easter day: I had a really memorable day yesterday. I trusted my two girl-friends that they have looked at the weather forecast yesterday since they called me up an hour before they invited me to go to a park together with their children. It turned out that they did not. And so we all end up wet to our bones due to continous raining after an hour and a half of sunshine. At least, we were able to have a nice picnic lunch in the grass before it rained. Anyway, here are pictures of two adorable little girls who did not even complained and had a nice time they said-and the second picture a part of the park and some ducks.

Studio Friday: Hands

When I was growing up, my folks would always tell me not to wash my hands when they are tired or just finished doing something. They said that my hands are the most wonderful blessings that God have given me because, I can finish any kind of work or activity as fast as I can. They said-I am a fast worker.

This is our green house and the picture on the right is half of the porch which is filled up with grapevines in the summer. You should have a taste of my homemade marmalade and yet, I am not sure I can still make them.

Studio Friday: ROOM WITH A VIEW

The first two pictures is the view where my computer and stuff are located. I seldom do my paint from this area because you won't believe it-I like painting beside my bed. The second two pictures is where I wanted to be always especially during the summer where I can smell all the red, white, pink, yellow roses and other plants that has smell(I like the smell of hyacinth but I get to enjoy them only in the spring and autumn),hear the sound of the wind chimes and the sweet singing of the birds. I have not started doing anything in the garden and I am not sure if I will still paint or do more. I have stopped drawing everyday for a month now. I get to draw only once a week since then.

Poetry of Elizabeth Barrett Browning

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,--I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

Hugging

The text was forwarded to me some time ago. And the picture is a digital manipulated picture of my friend and myself.
