 I bought these flowers today, in  shades of red and pink, to decorate my shelf in our entrance.

I like them arranged in that basket for my Valentine's Day decorating!

I hope I can keep them growing until  it's warm enough to plant them in our front garden!

Fantasy

I put my feelings on the line.
I put my heart out, in plain view.
I lavished love, so willingly...
the only way I knew.

Defenses left along the way.

In shattered heaps they’re lying, still.
And what was me 

- my heart , my soul -
was there for you to fill.

I put my all, there on the line.
My past I left, without a care.
Mountains crossed and bridges 

burned...
all on a hope and prayer.

That hope and prayer are flimsy now.
The love I nurtured, has been stilled.
The dream was mine - a fantasy -

  not meant to be fulfilled.

Shadow Shot Sunday~ 2-13-11 ~ Heart Shadows

~

~Find more SSS posts here.~

Today was a beautiful, sunny day here and as my husband and I were going out this morning I noticed this shadow on the foyer floor.

This is the shadow of my Valentine Heart wreath on my window/front door! I thought it looked pretty cool so got a couple of quick shots of it.

I didn't notice until I uploaded the pics from my camera but if you look closely you will see another small heart shape in the upper part of both pictures. Not sure how this came to be...I have plants on a table by the front windows  and somehow this little heart shape was formed! 

Happy 'V' day!

Love,

Junie

Ginga's Valentine

Sweet memories...

( Click to enlarge)


In 1986, from Jan 22 to Feb 11, We were visiting our daughter, son-in-law and our first 2 grandsons at Fort Ord, Ca.

They had moved out to Ca just a month before. Tina and the babies had lived with us
( or near us) most of the 3 years since the birth of Dan. (our first grandchild) I had taken care of the boys for my daughter to work.

Needless to say, it was tough on the old grandparents to have these 2 fine boys move away! ....And we didn't wait very long to visit them - our first of 2 visits to Ca. I was able to stay a few extra days and fly back later by myself!

My little 'grand boys' were just under one and three years. Brian learned to walk while I was there. (9-1/2 mo.) Dan would be 3 in March.

You can tell by this picture with the boys, that this was just where I wanted to be! I had found my calling in being a grandmother!...Dan gave me the name 'Ginga,' so that was who I  would be to the 3 'grands' that came after him, too! :) I loved that special name he gave me!

A few days after my sad but inevitable return home I got this Valentine from my sweet kids! Tina had made heart cookies for the boys and she asked Dan what she should write on them. Dan said, "write -I Love Ginga!" She did and mailed this very special Valentine to me! I spray varnished it and bought a little holder to hold it upright and put it in one of my doll cabinets! I have kept it there for 21 years!

Yes!
This is one of my most cherished Valentines!

Love,

Ginga

FYI~about my header~

 FYI

~This was a comment I gave to Joy, one of my blog friends, about my heart-header.  I thought others might also be interested~

~~

To Joy:

"...and thanks for the comment on my header...What that is- if you haven't figured it out-is a reflection from a stained glass window in my stairwell. It's actually an oblong  piece that becomes heart shaped when it reaches the corner. The color is created with my imac picture program! I think it's pretty neat-looking!  :)"

Here are some more views of the window and the reflections it makes on the wall.

Happy Valentine's Day

Come And Be My Valentine



Oh! Come and be My Valentine
and give your love to me.
Those words I’ve waited, long, to say
are wanting to be free!

Let’s put away our doubts and fears
and trust our hearts to know,
the way our lives were meant to be;
and how our love should grow.

Come hear the song that’s in my heart
that’s playing just for you.
No sweeter music could you know,
nor words, so pure and true.

Come with me, and be my love,
with all my life to share-
packed with hugs, and kisses -sweet-
this love, beyond compare!

Oh! Come and be My Valentine
and give your heart to me!
Together, we’ll declare our love,
for all the world to see.

Flowers for Valentine's Day

This is a Valentine bouquet I made today.



I used Camellias from my yard and arranged them in cups inside this vintage tin I have!

I love the old fashioned images on this tin box, which was most likely first used to hold candies!

Love,
Junie
