Dream small Dreams

I am starting to feel overwhelmed with how much has happened already and how much will be happening in the next couple of months. It's a good thing and I am not going to complain but I feel I need to clone another little me. 
I am a wife, a mother, the housekeeper and the cook, a friend......the chicken keeper.......and I love every minute of it but sometimes we do get overwhelmed and that is when I just drop what I am doing and take a walk in the yard. 

Slowly I have been loading the trailer for the next event and the other evening I was getting ready to put this pink chair in the trailer and stopped for a second....I looked at the sun and it was just perfect...perfect time for a photo. I get so excited! Ran in the house, got the camera and Voila'! This photo gave me peace....



More decisions where made yesterday....since Raffaele is graduating this year from high school, him and I will be taking a little trip back to Sicily to visit La Nonna. We are both excited and nervous, just the two of us!
So after purchasing the tickets I had to take another walk, ;)
This time I took the camera with me to take few pictures of the Geranium in the yard. I love Geranium and I was told that they are called The Rose of the Poor. Here are few of my favorite Geranium and one of my favorite rose in absolute Rosa Ballerina. 

I ended my Sunday with creating another Hardware Necklace. I made all the jump rings and hammer them flat.
 I loved this process.

Dream small Dreams. If you make them too big, you get overwhelmed and don't do anything. If you make small goals and accomplish them, it gives you the confidence to go on to higher goals. (John H. Johnson)
