Cold Mountain

This  is  one  of  my  favorite  movies.  I  have  watched  it  twice  this  week.  The  characters,  music,  and  events  sum  up  to  ones "'Ain  True  Love".   "'Ain"  is  an  old  Scottish  word
meaning  "own". 


Cold Mountain is a sweeping tale set in the final days of the American Civil War. Jude Law stars as Inman, a young soldier who, despite an injury, is struggling to make his way home to Cold Mountain, NC, where his beloved Ada (Nicole Kidman) awaits. In Inman's absence, Ada befriends Ruby (Renée Zellweger), who helps her keep up her late father's farm.

Butterfly Blessings

Tiger Swallowtail - August 2013

I came across one of God’s small creatures today. Even though small in size, its beauty, grace and peacefulness it brought me was well above measure.

 

The Tiger Swallowtail butterfly (Papilio glaucas) is a strong flier with distinctive yellow and black striped markings on its wings and body (some females are brown or black, mimicking the poisonous pipevine swallowtail). This relatively common butterfly has a wingspan of 3.5-6.5 inches (9-16.5 cm). Southern subspecies are larger than the northern ones. These butterflies are called swallowtails because they have long "tails" on their hindwings which look a bit like the long, pointed tails of swallows (a type of bird).



It is always a good day to be grateful for all of life -                             
grateful for large blessings and small.
Especially to be grateful for the symbolic blessings -
the rainbows and butterflies that come into our lives
when we least expect and most need them.
