Guest Heart Thursday #151

Welcome to Guest Heart Thursday -

A Place to Share YOUR Heart!

Once again I must deviate from my usual format for Guest Heart Thursday.

My Tech guy sat down to check out my computer ... which works for short periods of time then "freezes" solid (by solid I mean even the mouse's optic light goes out!).

His exact words, after a few minutes, were "How are your finances?"

Uh oh.

So it will be a while before I can get back to computer business as usual - at least until I can afford to get a new hard drive!!! I will still be visiting YOUR hearts - I just can't comment - and it takes a loooooooonng time to load!!!

Arrrrgh!

 On the bright side ... I now have more time to be outside searching for the hearts in my world!!!

As always - a huge thank you to all who linked up with Guest Heart Thursday last week. I loved seeing the delightful and amazing hearts you found in your world!!!

A Place to Share YOUR Heart!

(Due to computer issues ... arrrrgh! ... I found myself unable to comment on your INCREDIBLE hearts last week. I did visit you all - and hope - computer willing - to do double comments this week!)

I love visiting JM over at "Lisbon and the Sunshine Coast" ... I get to feast my soul on beautiful scenery, warmth, and JM's incredible "decay" photos - all in the same place!

And sometimes he posts a heart - do you see the ones in this fence?

Thank you, JM, for sharing your heart!

When I saw this shot Teri posted on her blog "Teri H Hoover Photography" ... I was entranced.

I already knew Teri and her sister are fellow heart seekers ... and that Teri is an excellent photographer.

But something about this shot of the little bird statues contemplating the leafy heart ...

Well, it's one of my favorites of all time.

Thank you, Teri, for sharing your heart!

As always - a huge thank you to all who linked up with Guest Heart Thursday last week. I loved seeing the delightful and amazing hearts you found in your world!!!

Welcome to Guest Heart Thursday -

A Very Special VALENTINES Place to Share YOUR Heart!

I've been following Rachel's blog, "Memories of Mine to Thine" for a long time.

Rachel is an amazing lady, who inspires me with her life. Not only is she an incredible artist, but she loves the same things I do - family, nature, thrift stores, country living and more.

I am only featuring Rachel's Valentine post today - not because I lack YOUR hearts to feature ... but because the story behind these simple Valentine hearts is incredible.

And this story belongs to Rachel's son ... Macs - A little guy with a heart of gold.

Please take the time to read about this wonderful gift from Macs ... to the world.

Thank you, Rachel, for sharing Macs' Heart!!!

As always - a huge thank you to all who linked up with Guest Heart Thursday last week. I loved seeing the delightful and amazing hearts you found in your world!!!

You don't have to look hard to find the heart Cheryl saw in this shot.

But then Cheryl is someone who sees hearts even I don't notice!!!

I think it must be because she's so sweet - the hearts can't help but find her.

'Tis true!

Cheryl was absent from Blogland for a long time - but SHE'S BACK!

So go on over to "March to March" ... and welcome her home!

Thank you, Cheryl, for sharing your heart!

I've long admired "Johnny Nutcase" over at "Count Your Chicken! We're Taking Over!".

And not just because of the incredibly awesome name of her blog.

Oh no, that's just the beginning.

You see, "Johnny Nutcase" is in reality Jill of "Jill Wussow Photography".

Jill is a self-described "nomadic field biologist", whose photographs will take your breath away ... and whose job description will make you turn green with envy.

And she's cute and funny too!!!

P.S. - Do you see the heart in this baby bird shot? It's in the feathers right between the eyes of this adorable little guy!

Thank you, Jill, for sharing your heart!

This is another test. Do you see the heart in this shot?

Hint: If you follow the fence, just left of the 4th pole from the right ... there's a cute little seaweed heart!

But I bet you'd rather find out about "Finn McCool", right?

To do that, you need to head over to "Finn McCool's Country".

(That being Northern Ireland)

Finn will be offline for a while, but his blog is worth the visit!!

Thank you, Finn McCool, for sharing your heart!

As always - a huge thank you to all who linked up with Guest Heart Thursday last week. I loved seeing the delightful and amazing hearts you found in your world!!!

A Tangled Heart

I left my sewing machine sitting out last night ... big mistake.

When I woke up this morning, I found my darling and intrepid kitty had found a new toy.

Every bit of thread on the spool was pulled off -- tangled thread stretched back and forth across the room.

Every little bit.

As I was cleaning up the mess, trying not to trip on the nearly invisible thread, I came across this tangled heart.

And when my kitty wanted to cuddle ... I let her.

Another Demolition Heart

The demolition crew at the former mega-church has been hard at work - but not on the weekends. I took advantage of the quiet time yesterday, and went for a walk.

Rubble - cement and rebar, giant wooden beams, pipes and wires ... in piles strewn across the property - some higher than my head.

I was nearly overwhelmed with the scope of the destruction.

Then I looked down. A small piece of insulation nestled next to a piece of broken concrete caught my eye.

And my heart.

A Heart for Leontien

Four Leaf Clover Tales

 

 "At 12:00 in the afternoon on January 10th, 2013, the suffering of our spirited, sweet, funny, strong, beloved Leontien ended and she left this world for the next.  It was a peaceful passing, and she was surrounded by her loved ones when she went.  We would like to thank each and every one of you for the support and love that you have sent her and her family through this difficult time.  Words cannot possibly express how much it has meant to her and to each and every one of us.  It is safe to say that Leontien was a true inspiration for many, and it is our hope that she will continue to be so."

The world is a little dimmer; heaven a little brighter.

Leontien ... you will be missed.

Demolition Hearts

Demolition is nearly complete at The Abandoned.

Only a few outside walls remain ...

And a few hearts as well!
