These are all old photos from my now gone Sparrowgrass blog-I wish I could post photos from my gardens now...but these will do.
This is some of my son's art, of course he was very young. But this kind of art is where I am leaning myself-I'm really not sure I want to paint realistic, stiff paintings anymore. In fact-I know I don't.
This was our girl, Cheyenne. She is in heaven now, and has been for many years. We're still considering and praying about getting another dog. It seems like a bigger decision now than it used to.
So many things change with time, don't they? It can be so scary-change.
And now, things seem to change way too fast. I'm always trying to catch up, trying to process something new or something that will never make sense-people shooting others in large gatherings or schools.
There's lots that just can't be sorted out anymore.
One thing I know-
God
doesn't change.
We do-
He doesn't.

Fun to see the art work from your son and your pup, sorry she's gone. Very cute pup. Cheers, Ivy.
Change is scary. With the Lord’s guidance, the future is less scary. Another dog, now that is pure joy. ❤️

It's easier to resist change than accept it. I really LOVE your old photos, Debra.
We have 2 older dogs, and although I definitely think I want another dog, it is a tougher decision as we get older. I understand your thoughts there. Change is hard, at all ages, but it is hard as I get older not to look back. I hope you pull everything together.
Yes change can be scary.
I think it's human nature to resist change but like you say - God is there and he doesn't change. At least that's once constant we can hold onto.
Ah Debra - you and I are on the same page of seeing changes and appearing scary. Micah's art is truly the way to capture true art and enjoy the freedom of just mark making. I am always torn between realistic and more loose painting. Perhaps eventually will find a style that is more what I want to say when painting. Have always enjoyed your whimsical style. Take care and hope your prayers are answered concerning a dog. I will pray for you. Hugs!
Dear Debra, this touched me. There is so much tenderness in old photos — a garden, a child’s art, a beloved dog, pieces of a life that has changed.
And yes, change can feel so unsettling, especially when the world feels too heavy to understand.
I’m grateful for the reminder you ended with: we change, but God does not. That is such a steady comfort.
Another dog!!! There's one out there just waiting for you.
