The American Dream Of A Little Girl



























There's something to say about a little girl waving the American Flag, as she expresses her childhood excitement. How delightful to watch her run in a grassy field, one moment feeling her freedom and the next, running to cuddle in mommy's arms. She packs herself neatly in a wheel barrow full of hay, anticipating to hold a chicken. She ever so gently cups her hand to give him a loving touch, then finds her way to the chicken run to feed them corn. She is living the American dream!

Muddy and Glossy








































There is nothing like the nostalgic feeling of days gone by. As I think of them in my own mind, I can see visions of my childhood days in sepia tones. Only now to be watching grandkids play on an old tire swing, while grandpa builds a tree house. Seeing them run in a grassy field with the warm, summer breeze. Peering out the kitchen window as they dig holes in the chicken yard, then scrambling to see how many eggs were laid. Watching them play for hours in the sand box, created by gentle hands. To top off the daily adventure, we indulge in homemade ice cream drizzled with chocolate. Then grandma tells funny farm stories, as night time dreams carry them off into a restful sleep.

If I could paint a picture with words spoken from the private chambers of my heart and bless another soul, then I have come face to face with a living God. To Him be the Glory!
