Morphologically, trillium plants produce no true leaves or stems above ground. The “stem” is just an extension of the horizontal rhizome and produces tiny, scale like leaves (cataphylls). The above-ground plant is technically a flowering scape, and the leaf-like structures are bracts subtending the flower.(def. internet)
Take care of things as they come to your attention
When something comes to mind, it is a sign from God. Take care of whatever comes to mind right away.

When is a door more than just a door – when it lets you in to somewhere you want to be, and closes to give you privacy. I’ve shown you these beauties before.. Was in Almonte the other day got to visit them again.
These doors lead to a place of spiritual growth and personal renewal.,
WE enter and leave through doors constantly ,. some we never give a second thought to… do we ever give thanks or show appreciation for the service they render … smiles… ok… just think about how many doors you encounter in every day of your amazing life. If you had a nickel for every door you have used in your lifetime to date… I think our piggy bank would be full to bursting.
Happy Thursday everyone. – Smile . . . let someone know you care….

Wisdom comes naturally when you are humble
You will stop growing if you have a conceited or boatful mind. Always remember to be humble.

Needle felted with sheep’s wool that I sourced from shepherds in the area, back in the days when felting was not a common craft / art form in this area…. I found one shepherd who shared my passion, she is the one who had dyed the roving…. that I used for skin tones. I still have my needles and I keep a stash of roving “in case” … I get “the urge”… felting is a relaxing form of expression .. and it helps me keep in touch with “nature”. I would drive the back roads looking for sheep.. Drive up to strangers wanting to know about their charges.. how often they sheared, what did they do with the wool….
I walked the pastures, enjoyed the sheep dogs that herded the sheep, met wonderful grounded souls.. who loved the animals and the earth as much as I did.. I pray and thank the Universe regularly for the life I have been blessed with.
Its not about the quantity of friends one has, it is the quality of the friendships…. in this I am also blessed,
