52 Photos Project-out my window

I live in the country 

and sometimes share the road with these lovelies!

No traffic lights where I live, no road rage, no jams.

 Just me, and the dirt road and the deer, 

squirrels, skunks, snakes,

armadillos, roadrunners, turtles and jackrabbits....

and the occasional cow 

in search of a brighter shade of green

( yes, my window was down and I could almost feel his breath on me!)

I love my kitchen

Summertime is my favorite season in the kitchen since I love fresh veggies and right now we are so blessed to have an abundance of tomatoes, cukes, onions  and peppers for Gazpacho, 

squashes for dinner and 

fresh herbs for EVERYTHING!!

I am planning a book to hopefully be printed in a few months 

with a collection of some of my favorite recipes!!

deserving children

These beautiful children lived in my neighborhood when I lived in Isla Mujeres, Mexico.

Many of them will never get an education.

Just follow the family tradition, marry and have a family. The tradition carries on from generation to generation. But life is changing. Opportunity for education is available.

and one more thing...

this is also my plea...

I wanna grow up. I want to meet a nice boy. Maybe he will date me, not rape me. I wanna leave this island, go to college and learn how to use the computer, balance a checkbook, play the piano, paint huge portraits, meet a nice boy, go to the opera, see Europe and visit the United States. I wanna wear a pretty dress. My body is mine, it is not yours to use and abuse. I am beautiful, inside and out. I wanna grow up. ~ by Deb Taylor~
