My Photo Journal: Happiness (1)

We can complain because rose bushes have thorns,
or rejoice because thorns have roses.
― Alphonse Karr, A Tour Round My Garden

When life is not coming up roses
Look to the weeds
and find the beauty hidden within them.
― L.F.Young

We all live with the objective of being happy;
our lives are all different and yet the same.
― Anne Frank

My Photo Journal: Blackberries from the Garden (1)

You have to wait for a fruit to ripe before you harvest.
You must also learn to wait for the fulfillment of your visions.
― Lailah Gifty Akita, The Alphabets of Success: Passion Driven Life

It's that time of year when fat, juicy blackberries are ripe for plucking and eating! Are you eating yours fresh or making into pies and jam? If you love drawing out the season like me, here is a low-sugar, blackberry jam recipe from Practical Self Reliance that is perfect for putting on scones while drinking tea beside a roaring fire.

My Photo Journal: Love (1)

We loved with a love that was more than love.
― Edgar Allan Poe

You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep
because reality is finally better than your dreams.
― Dr. Seuss

As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep:
slowly, and then all at once.
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars
