Dappled with shadows and light the ctry road matches my mood perfectly. What beauty the Lord has blessed our area with and how therapeutic it can be!
A beautiful sunset over the appalachian foothills
I had to capture the beauty of the vast mountains with the precious sunset decending upon them
Babies in Incubation
This is an example of Brood, baby bees tucked neatly in their hexagonal cribs ready to come out and work to keep our world pollinated!
Late spring bees
The bees are doing well so far this year and thought I'd share a pic of the beauty within those hive body walls! This one shows the Queen Herself!
Spring Bees
The spring bee population hanging out on their home hive body, ready to make the world a more beautiful place. Even in their smallness they intensly effect our world as we know it.
Why Make it ONE DAY?
Natl Day of Prayer 5 7 09, but WHY make it only one day. He is there for us EACH and EVERY day and his sacrifice for US deserves our reverant daily prayer. Personally I talk to him all through the day, perhaps we need a national rememberance that he is ALWAYS with us, ALWAYS listening to our hearts and prayers. I encourage all to utilize prayer far beyond the one designated by man and create a relationship of ones own with The Lord Jesus. pubdompic
My Precious Girls Ready for Spring!
Being an apiarist it was quite a joy to be able to get back into our hives now that spring is here. The wonder of such a small insect and all it does for EACH of us is amazing. Remember most EVERYTHING on your dinner plate is a result of these tiny beings. Yet another example of how the "details" provides us with life sustaining resources.
Never Forget The REASON
FOR THE EASTER SEASON

TOGETHER WE CAN
Young or old, small or tall, together in truth and honesty, support and TRUE friendship and loving one another, Nothing can surmount the unity.
The budding has begun
Ready to burst into bloom offering awareness in a subtle way too. Emerge from your wintery bed and face the springtime beauty along with your own inner beauty. Let it blossom!
FREEDOM ISN"T FREE!! (pubdompic)
If you can't stand BEHIND the troops feel free to stand IN FRONT of them! Support those that dedicate their lives so that YOU can freely choose your own path, your own words to speak, your own religion to practice along with all the other freedoms we often take for granted. Hug a Vet today or at least acknowledge their unending dedication, we need them NOW more than ever!
GOD, Family and COUNTRY first
The greatest generation fought valiantly for our freedom to do this very thing; express our voices, exercise FREEDOM and so many more things that could not be depicted here in such a short forum. Just remember to appreciate and HUG A VET TODAY!
Peaceful Apiary
A Portion of our Apiary through the Apple Blossoms. Therapy for the mind and soul.
The Awakening
My spring flowers bring awareness that an awakening of MANY forms is at hand. Spring brings us inspiration, beauty, and awakens the spirit within us. Don't stifle your creativity and uniqueness, instead BURST FORTH!
Four Wheeling Season Nearly Here
Since it was in the 60s we decided to utilize another of my coping skills, NATURE and 4 Wheeling through the hills, valleys and hollers of our area. This is a picture of nature at its best as a buck stood and watched us pass without alarm. GET OUT and enjoy the intricate details all around you, it is beyond therapeutic!
BEES are Ready for Spring
During our first spring feeding it is evident that the bees are ready for spring to get here soon. This is a picture of one of our beehives and only the top box, many are beneath this layer of same box. It is a coping skill that utterly thwarts so much. I encourage anyone to utilize nature in any form as a coping skill. This is just one of mine that I thought I'd share!
The Reaching; Ctrygirl 08
Offering an understanding hand brings enlightenment and creates a compassion for others. Utilize that third eye to see those whom YOU may help through tough times.
A Prayer of Acceptance
My colored pencil drawing of Norman Rockwells Painting. I believe it speaks volumes as to where we should turn at all times not just in times of woe or trouble, but also share the joy!
Sisterly LOVE; pub domain pic
the love and support of those you love
Together WE CAN!
my support and how I get through the tough times; my husbands ever supportive hands
Count the blessings Petal by Petal
in order to stay positive in an world of uncertainty keep counting the petals of blessings you have been given
Enduring all through FAITH

Jesus Wept
pub domain pic that depicts he knows our pain and trials on this planet, which is NOT our true home
Even Insects can CREATE

Through Shadows and Light
pic of my stomping grounds and source of coping skills as I cycle from peaks to valleys
Even with the hurdles and obstacles
the beauty is there, can YOU see it?
The Light Reminds Me of my LIGHTHOUSE
the light is always there sometimes we just must look a little harder
Once in a Blue Moon
I always seem to see the light and dark side of the moon
Even in my darkest hours,
It gives me solace in a weary world.

Hold tight to the Light
NOT my pic pub domain but inspires us to hold to the light even in darkness and rough situations
I livein Ohio.I have rapidcycling,mixed mood bipolardisorder&through ctry living &nature have found a coping skill i want to share with all.Ilovenature,writing,photography,beekeeping,4wheeling,ginseng &root hunting,&all living in the country entails,INCLUDING the rough way of life that sometimes we must endure in order to get the beauty and tranquility.
It is NOT the stigmatized way of life depicted in so many forms of media:it is a LIFESTYLE of freedom,peace,belief in the American way &heritage,hardwork,self-sufficient living,and utter peace.
We may be labeled "rednecks" or "bigots" but that's alright, utilize your labeling!WE KNOW better!
We help one another with the fields,clearing land,setting fence posts or cutting wood to help one in need.We hunt our own food, are very simple in our requirements for living,and APPRECIATE the land& what it has to offer all of us.
We are farmers,beekeepers,ones working quietly as the world continues its whirling chaos beyond our realm of view.
Try the peace and solace, you just MIGHT like it!
