prairiegirl: September 2008
http://vickyslark.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 27, 2008. Boy - I'm certainly awash today! This picture of a medieval castle and village remind me of something depicted in Tolkein's "The Lord of the Rings" or in C.S. Lewis' "Chronicles of Narnia". When I made the picture, I animated it with some cool pool-shadows and the windchime moving in a mystical breeze. Alas, I can't get the animation to work on this blogsite. What are my delay tactics, you ask, since I gave this posting that title? Labels: If Wishes Were Horses. Remember bac...

prairiegirl: Retreating Years
http://vickyslark.blogspot.com/2009/01/retreating-years.html
Monday, January 12, 2009. December was an interesting month! I wonder if my heightened biological sensitivity also helped sensitize me spiritually? It's an interesting idea. The book I listened to was Jan Karon's A New Song. Another book that deeply affected me is a small volume I happened to pick up at The Book Mouse. In Ottawa when I went to a drama workshop held by my friend, Donna. The book, Meditations on Nature, Meditations on Silence. A nonprofit organization with a big idea. I am hoping that ...

prairiegirl: October 2008
http://vickyslark.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 25, 2008. It's time to get back to posting. Like these roosters, I've been pecking at the ground lately and feel like I've only come up with gravel. Unlike roosters, gravel is not necessarily good for my own crop. So, I am now determined to turn up something healthier! The first thing that journaling did for me this week is that it took me back to something that I had written this summer and totally forgotten than I'd written! Vicky, what do you think it takes to hear My Voice? You are ...

prairiegirl: July 2008
http://vickyslark.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 18, 2008. Bohus Knitting and Excellence. One critic aptly reported that 'Emma Jacobsson's special mark is the finicky way she chooses colors. She is acutely sensitive to colors and this is what has given Bohus Stickning its special artistic value. Emma's attention to flawlessness was ingrained in her personality. In the process, even though she may have been difficult to work with at times, in her inate fairness, she also impelled those who worked with her to higher levels of excellence.

Friday, August 29, 2008. Fruits of the Season. A heavenly paradise is that place. Wherein all pleasant fruits do flow. There cherries grow which none may buy,. Till "cherry-ripe" themselves do cry. Thomas Campion "Cherry Ripe". PS If you click on the image you can see that the hearts blink! Graphic based on tutorial by Kimbearly. Labels: If Wishes Were Horses. Thursday, August 28, 2008.

prairiegirl: December 2007
http://vickyslark.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 31, 2007. Last night Tami and I went through letters that we had written to each other 20 years ago. Those were tumultuous years for us both. Twenty years ago those letters encouraged us as we held hands through the mail and we were amazed at how timeless those words were. The lessons we learned and applied in those days are bringing forth fruit even today! By L'Engle and Shaw; and Only Fifty Years Ago. I'm enjoying the beauty of this house we so love, and the solitude of our backyard...

prairiegirl: Adventure
http://vickyslark.blogspot.com/2009/01/adventure.html
Wednesday, January 14, 2009. Prayer is such adventure! When I open up my Bible to read and then to pray, I am never quite certain what direction that prayer time will take. I am usually surprised and always. I received a new book today Payne Hollow Journal. By Harlan Hubbard and came to a paragraph in the introduction (p. xiii) which says of Harlan Hubbard's wife:. Always their work was their pleasure. Anna gave praise to 'precious daylight. Which she was.". Let us celebrate and. Emphasis is mine.).

prairiegirl: Thankful Hearts
http://vickyslark.blogspot.com/2008/11/thankful-hearts.html
Monday, November 10, 2008. Thanksgiving is rapidly approaching and I wonder what has happened to this year! I've been in a real slump lately not having an original idea to write about. Or, perhaps I should say that I've had ideas but they've not been strung together into a sensible train of thought. I realized the other day that I can't write anything unless I am reading. When I read my own thoughts are stimulated and I am able to process ideas. One idea sparks another idea and so forth. The Bible by God.

prairiegirl: January 2007
http://vickyslark.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 04, 2007. Another year, another treasure trove. I feel like little Mary in her garden looking at the lush growth around her. Summer is in rich splendor at her feet and she is surveying all that lies before her. Tuesday, January 02, 2007. The beginning of a new year! As I'm typing this, I'm suddenly getting ideas for further posts. Hurrah, perhaps the muse has settled and I will begin to use this lovely bit of cyberspace landscape reserved just for this Prairie Girl! If Wishes Were Horses.
