Dream Along

Every one has their dreams. In my July 6th, 2012 post titled "Soul Searching" I shared mine. Well, last evening I was reminded of another dream.

Jerry and I were watching a movie and the scenery caught my eye. My thoughts eventually took me to a scene I created that sits on a shelf in my dining room wall cabinet.

I'm a country and mountain person. As Jerry said once while driving through Pennsylvania, "The mountains just seem to hug me." That's the way I feel.

I moved out to the country when Jerry and I married. Mt. Airy was an hour from the city of Rockville and all its traffic and congestion and people. 27 years later its become more crowded but not too far away from real country.

I created a cabin scene, close to my mind's image of my cabin in the woods. Named "Mc Giffin's Cottage" it sits in the middle of the woods with a huge chimney and fireplace. I've been fortunate to enjoy a fire place ever since moving to Mt. Airy and there just isn't anything more pleasant than to sit in front of the fire and enjoy its warmth.

The back of the cottage is called "Thot'ful Spot." That's where I do all my creating with pictures and writing. The window affords me the joy of watching nature unfold as I work. Just like my writing room window in Mt. Airy I see deer, fox, birds, squirrels, hawks and an occasional chipmonk and cat. At my cabin in the woods I just may see a bear.

There's a small stream that runs through the property and I sit on the bench and listen to the water flow. The lightpost brings warmth to that spot when the cooler temperatures arrive come fall. And, of course, there will be a dog, probably two or three.

There's a tree house that I can't climb into anymore, but provides the feeling of laughter and love.

The deer pass through, resting under our trees. The wood pile is always stacked, ready for that warm fire. And my friend, Eeyore, will be welcomed.

I don't know if I'll ever have a cabin in the woods. Sometimes I think I'd be too scared to live in the woods, especially with all sorts of insects and bugs around. But it is a dream I like to imagine every now and then.

Dream on, my friend. The God of miracles wants to give you your hearts desire.

As my friend, Gail, said: "You are Eeyore!"
