Puppy Luv for PageMaps Blog

*You can click on the picture to make it larger and read journaling*

Pagemaps Blog is hosting a Pushing Pixels contest. I looked at the sketch when she first posted it, but kind of forgot about it. Then today while looking for some paper work in my office I came across a layout I started long ago of Guinness as a puppy that I really did not like. So I grabbed the layout and as looking at the pictures when this sketch came to mind. The pictures I had and already had mounted were perfect. So I sat down while it was fresh on my mind and wahlah a new fabulous layout was created. Much to my luck the contest had been extended till tonight and so I will be able to submit it. I am much much happier with the way it has turned out. Wish me luck and thanks for looking.

A Prayer in Spring

A Prayer in Spring

by Robert Frost

Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.

Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,
Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;
And make us happy in the happy bees,
The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.

And make us happy in the darting bird
That suddenly above the bees is heard,
The meteor that thrusts with needle bill,
And off a blossom in mid-air stands still.

For this is love and nothing else is love,
The which it is reserved for God above
To sanctify to what far ends He will,
But which it only needs that we fulfill.

Great pictures on St. Patricks Day
