prayer flags

After working in the office for a few hours this morning, I stepped outside onto the patio to warm up. Standing there in the sunshine, I was so grateful for so many things, including —

• Our adorable foster son who raked the whole yard and swept the patio so I could stand out there an enjoy the weather, rather than think about all of the work we needed to do.
• The sun and how warm and wonderful it felt on my face, while thinking about my family and friends back east who are about to be pummeled by a nor’easter, after being pummeled by a hurricane just a week ago.

I watched my prayer flags flap in the breeze and realized that I never posted a photo of them here! Imagine my surprise when I came to my blog and realized how long it’s been since I posted. I don’t understand how the days can pass so quickly without my even noticing. ANYWAY, here are the flags I made. This photo is not from today, but from this summer, when I actually finished them and put them up.
