It is hard to imagine this was just bare branches a month ago.
Happy dogs walk by so proud of their owners and I believe a smile on their faces.
Yesterday there were about eight dogs all running free so I let Haiti have a little run off leash.
It is so wonderful to feel free!
I can use my imagination to free my mind from fear and anxiety and place my trust in the will of God, His love surrounding us all.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
For our knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand,
while imagination embraces the entire world and all there will be to know and understand.
- Albert Einstein
We do not need power to change the world, we carry all the power we need
inside ourselves already.
We have the power to imagine better.

What God intended for you goes far beyond anything you can imagine.
Another day working in the yard, hard work for both dad and I but I believe even though we get tired and cranky it is worth it. Dad washed off our cement driveway and it looks so much better.
Using your imagination is also good for the brain as detailed in the book The Brain that Changes Itself by Norman Dodge, M.D.
Imagination is good for us spiritually as we read scripture or gaze at an eagle in flight and imagining it is riding the very breathe of God! The life of the Spirit challenges us to rise above our inadequacies and to fly free like an eagle!

The ambulance arrived to take Mary my neighbor to hospital as she has had a bad stroke. She is 95 and has survived a heart attack and the death of her husband. A small group of neighbors stood watching as she was put into the ambulance she is well liked as she is always cheerful and caring.
We are worried about Ken who is very sick and hope the doctor will know what is wrong and help him. Praying for you Ken. Imagine all those bad germs being destroyed by healthy good blood cells!
Dad is painting the driveway to keep it clean another day of hard work.
Ben is going to Victoria to play soccer and after Theresa drops him off at the ferry she will stay the day at Carols and Panteli s and we will join them for supper.
The preciousness of being alive, of appreciating ourselves and each other as vulnerable and fragile human beings awakens us to a deeper truth that is hidden in our souls and in the very grace of God.

thank you once again for your inspiring writing. so sorry to hear that ken is unwell .l join you in prayer for his recovery. enjoy this beautiful day. Jane.
Is the park a dog park, where dogs can run free? That is such a good idea! Nice for Haiti to make some doggie friends too! We can finally get out for a good walk again...they put dust off on Ateah RD.
Yard work is calling me too...I am going to plant up the growing boxes on our deck and plant some zucchini seeds in a large pot. I grow tomatoes, zucchini and cucumbers on the deck as well as a hanging planter of strawberries. That is the only place the deer cannot eat them.
Have a good visit with Theresa and Morgan.
I am getting ready to teach piano lessons, then art. These classes will end May 31. I will then teach adult watercolour workshops once a month, teen classes on Saturdays and prepare for an exhibition of my paintings at a library in St. Georges...in July. It is so good to always have something to look forward to.
How is your shoulder doing Beth? Do you still have stiffness and pain?
Love, Nancy
Feeling better already !! Wet but warm here . Happy Mother's Day. ! 😀💐

The Park where I take Haiti is not a dog park and when you are there your dog is suppose to be on a leash. Sometimes they come and check and make sure your dog has a license. A few will throw a ball and let their dog chase it, but not if there are children around. Kim takes Haiti in the car to a real dog park where it is fenced in and they can run around freely.
Have a great mother s day Nancy
love beth
Ken that is good news but you must till take it very easy.
Love you
Mom
