Welcome to my blog,
"Growing Branches".
"Growing Branches".
The title comes from a quote by Pauline R. Kezer....
"Continuity gives us roots; change gives us branches, letting us stretch and grow and reach new heights."
I am Shelli Quayhagen and I live at Turkey Creek Garden in rural north Louisiana with my wonderful husband, our garden friendly dogs, and coop full of chickens. This blog was born out of a big change in my life - retirement after thirty-three years of teaching school, a profession I loved with all my heart. Suddenly I was faced with "the rest of my life"!
Spurred on by this change, I began writing about the ordinary events in our simple day-to-day lives where we are trying hard to grow "branches" upon which we can hang
a
family/friend centered,
church based,
community minded,
service oriented,
garden growing ,
picture painting,
story writing,
squash frying,
dog petting,
chicken raising,
porch sitting,
good book reading,
lightning bug watching,
sometimes doing nothing,
contemplative wad of appreciative contentment!!!
I hope you'll enjoy the posts and will visit with us often. Leave a comment; I'd love to hear from you. Until then....
