Flowers are Beautiful.

Painting is named – ‘APRICOT ROSE’ I painted it with Oil Paints. It is one of my favorite paintings.

*****

I thought it would be nice to put some photos of Flowers on today. Mostly some that I have painted.

Here is a photo of a Bee on some Wildflower Daisy’s. No, I didn’t paint this one but thought it looked good that I managed to get a photo of a Bee on the flower.

I hope you like flowers as I think they are really beautiful, the petals so soft and all have their own perfume. Maybe you can look at one today feel it’s soft petals, also smell the flowers special perfume.

*****

My Oil Painting of Roses in Bloom.

I enjoyed painting this one to show their delicate petals.

*****

A Pencil and Water Colour Painting of a Dog Rose that I did.

If you like drawing, why not try drawing a flower or just practice drawing the petals, count how many the flower has and how they are positioned on the flower head.

*****

Did you know that Flowers go to sleep at the end of the day. There are some that bloom just in the evening though. It is good that we go to sleep each day and can wake up refreshed each morning.

Psalm: 3 verse 5

I lie down and sleep: I wake again, because The LORD sustains me.

A Vision (a Dream)

The above is my Oil Paintings of a Kingfisher.

*****

Sometimes we have to have a vision or a dream – something to look forward to each day. One of my dreams or visions is to continue to paint all sorts of paintings. A vision is something that comes to mind of the kind of painting that I would like to do at the time. So the above is one that I really liked painting.

*****

Another vision or dream that I have had is to have a shop, possibly in the main street but that has not happened. However I now have a Digital Shop on the ETSY site which you may download and print out some of my …….Artwork, Poems & Prayers, all A5 at the moment Will add more things soon. Jessie.

Here is a Poem for you.

The Window:

Have you looked out of the Window today? Have you opened the Curtains and Blinds?What do you see from your Window today? Look out at the Sky through the Window Pane.Is it blue or is it grey – is it dark or is it light? Much depends on how you feel when you look.If the sky is Grey you may feel sad. But if it is blue then you can feel glad.Each day is different from the day before so look out first before opening your door.Where will  you go, what will you do with the new day you have been given?So get up and get ready to face the day, there are lots of things you can do and say.Have a nice breakfast what ever the weather. Try not to rush if you have time have a Cuppa.A nice breakfast and drink is a good way to start. This day only comes once so give it a chance.

Fish for Friday!

Very pretty Basket of Flowers sitting on my outside settee. They are mixed blossoms, some from my garden and some are artifiial but they make a lovely display.

*****

Well – what about Friday? – so a good idea is to make up a basket or vase of flowers for yourself to look at indoors for the weekend. Or maybe give a gift of flowers to give to a friend. Just a few from the garden with some leaves would make a lovely arrangement. Alfoil is nice to wrap around the stems to make a bunch look more special. If you are going to a friends for tea or coffee it is lovely to take a small posy for your hostess.

*****

Fish for Friday is a nice idea, so that once a week you would be getting a fish dinner, because as we all know fish is very good for us and most times we forget to eat it.There are several ways to cook it but best to cook the way you especially like it. However here is one way to try.

Fish Nuggets:

A nice piece of white Cod or similar fish. Cut into dice about one inch squares.

Put flour into kitchen bag with a sprinkling of white pepper, sprinking of garlic, small pinch of turmeric. Then add the diced fish and shake around in the bag till all are coated.

Cook in a small amount of your favourite oil in a frying pan, turning over so all get a nice brown colour and cooked. They do not take long to cook in the hot oil.

This is an Oil painting of a Scary Fish that I painted, thought you may like to see it!

I hope you enjoy some of the writings in the book!

Here is a one of the writings from the book on Page 66.

The Wind is Blowing.

The Wind is blowing the leaves are flying. It is so gusty the Wind today.

Let us watch as it blows things away. To stand in the midst of the Wind is great,

to feel it move around your body. Also to blow through your hair. Where did it come from?

Where does it go to? We can never know. Listen to the Wind in the trees.

The trees seem to love it as they sway back and forth with their branches.

You cannot touch the Wind but you can feel it when it blows against your body.

Sometimes it can try to blow you along. Then other times it is just a gentle Breeze.

I love to hear the rustle of the leaves in the trees. To watch them move back and forth like dancing to the Wind.

This is a Painting that I did of a windblown tree here in North Western Australia.

It’s nice to Work!

A Lovely arrangement of Real Flowers from my Garden plus Artificial ones make up this pretty picture.

Do you think it is nice to work? Well it all depends on what sort of work it is of course. We are all meant to work for our living not just to rely on others to supply us with whatever we need. Unless of course we are unable sometimes in our life to be able to. Then we must rely on others to help us. But if we are able bodied sometimes we can choose the work that we like to do. To be self employed is great but to work for someone or an organization then we should do our best for them and feel a sense of achievement of our work. Remember they are paying us wages so we can live life.

What a joy it is to do some work that we really like, maybe Craft work that we can sell and really enjoy doing it. Two of the things that I like to do are: Writing and Painting. So will put a poem here that will be in my next book (hopefully) plus I can put a Painting on to show you. I have had Exhibitions on an off for quite a few years… Yes, that is work but it is work that I can enjoy. Am hoping you can enjoy some of the work that you do, especially if you are working for someone or helping them.

So it can be nice to Work!

Here is a Poem:

* Today *

Today will never come again, so what are we going to do? It gives us time to think for a while of what a lovely day it could be. First let us think of our days that are past, they seem to have gone so very fast. But today we can do something different again. Something special just for today. Maybe phone a friend and have a chat. This maybe our last day, fancy that. However we may have many more days to come. Each day will come – never to return. Because Tomorrow will be another day to treasure. Today will be gone and when – Tomorrow comes it will be called Today!

Here is a sample Oil Painting of my work that I did sometime ago, along the Fascine near where I live.

Lunch Time !

This is a photo of the beautiful Wild Flowers in North West Australia – two of my Grandchildren walking in the middle of them.

After walking amongst the wild flowers and going back for lunch…..what to have? That is the question! Well how about a slice of toast & butter with some tinned Tuna in Olive Oil spread out on it. Today I topped mine with sliced Beetroot, Parmesan Cheese, sprinkling of Garlic Powder, White Pepper and Mayonnaise. It was very nice and made a nutritious lunch. Very tasty. Best to eat with a knife and fork. Sorry I don’t have a photo of it, never thought about that until I had eaten it.!!!

Here is a photo of my Cookery Book….. the above recipe is not in it…. but there are some really good ones in the eBook book which is available from this Link: “Carnarvon Favourite Recipes”

*****

Here is a Poem:

Along the Pathway

I walked down the Pathway and saw a flower. It was morning time not the earliest hour. The sun was out and the bloom was beautiful. Petals so soft stretching up towards the sun. Quite large Petals so soft and new, opening up for me and you. Glorious orange and red in colour growing on the sturdy branches of the green leafed tree. Down the Pathway it adds some colour – to  brighten our day and to see the wonder, the wonder of creation afresh each day. As I walk along the Pathway. Day by day.

Cyclone

What a lovely Hanging Basket of plants and flowers, which was in our back garden.

This time of the year (January) we are watching out for a Cyclone that is coming down from the North along our coastline. Hoping of course that it will go out to sea and fizzle out with no damage to our towns dotted along the coast of N.W. Australia.

All things like hanging Baskets for instance are a hazard and need to be removed before they get blown about by the Cyclonic winds and Tropical rain. There is a lot to do when Cyclones are about so that we can keep our houses and properties safe, like putting away anything that is likely to be moved by gale force winds.

Most people already know now how to prepare but it is good to get new information from our radio’s or television Weather Forecasts when a Cyclone is approaching.

*****

It is nice to sit and read while waiting for a Cyclone – (that is when you have done everything necessary to be prepared)

So will put a couple of links on here for you to consider:

The book ‘Jessie’s Story’ is about my life, I am the baby in the Photo on the Cover of the book. It has a bit of History of my life during the Second World War and different places that we have lived in before and coming to Australia. Where I now live, having emigrated in 1973. I have had excellent reports of interest in this Book. I hope you can enjoy reading it.

*****

The next book is about two horses that fall in love and is an excellent book for all young Horse Lovers. Emily likes to sit and read as you can see. The book is available from Amazon site: Here is the Link: https://amzn.to/3rpA17F

Here is a Poem for today:

Lunch Time:……………………….

It’s nearly lunch time now and what have I done? Nothing much it seems under the Sun. But I did get up and not stay in bed. Mainly because this body needs to be fed. So up I got to start off the day, to get washed and dressed. We must get that out of the way, before we think of Breakfast. Now what shall it be? Something cooked or something on toast? Maybe some fruit or cereal as well as the toast? Goodness me the time has flown.

Never mind, it will be Lunch time soon..

Do you like Thistles?

The above is a photo of a Thistle….what do you think, is it good or not good to have in your garden?

You may or may not know that the Thistle is the National Emblem for Scotland in the United Kingdom.

People can be like Thistle’s……. They can be beautiful but be very prickly. Are you a prickly Thistle or just a beautiful person getting on with your life and not hurting anyone?

Thistle’s are lovely until you try to touch them, because they have very prickly spikes. So best to pick them with your gardening gloves on.

Sometime they can grow like weeds in the garden if they are not looked after.

The thing is – are you a prickly person – a person that others have to watch what they say around you – or are you a happy generous person who like to help others?

Here is a Recipe you may like to try;

Our Changing Life!

When is a Baby not a Baby ?
When is a child not a child?
When is a teenager not a teenager?
When is a teenager an adult and a parent?
An adult can become a Mother.
Also an adult can become a Father.
The Mother later becomes a Grandmother
and a Father likewise becomes a Grandfather.
After this they can become Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother.
They can become G.G. Grandparents but
not often do they live that long.
Then they are gone and the Cycle keeps on, keeping on.
So there we are – a Baby, a Child, a teenager then an Adult.
Life continues in a never ending circle, with all theses stages of life.
While on this Earth we have a Destiny.
Each one is different, each individual, is different in colour, creed and  body.
Be yourself – the way you were made, as a Special Baby, Child, Teenager and Adult.
So where are you at now?
Enjoy your life if you can, just where you are now in this time of life.
Soon it will be gone and the next Stage of life will be there.
You do not see the transgression from one stage to the next.
It just happens without our help.
And we are there.
…………………….                                                                                                                                                                                           Jessie 14th. Oct. 2014. Tuesday

I Hope you like the above little verse which I seem to have written some time ago.

However it is still relevant today.

So we should really begin to enjoy our life if we can, where-ever we are.

The Photo on the cover of the book above shows the changing stages of life. I am the baby in the picture, then my Mother, my Grandmother and my Great Grandmother. So the book is the story of part of my life that many people have found very interesting to read. Starting off as a child in the Second World War and up to the present day (at the time it was written).!P
