Honoring a Friend




 Here are my flags.



They are in honor of my friend, Martha Hill, who recently passed away.


She was a woman of peace.


I strung them between my wind chimes and a beautiful bell. I love to hear both of these when the wind moves them. It's a peaceful sound.

Hope everyone takes a moment today to think about peace. I know I will.

    1. Mary Jane...I meant to thank you so much for doing this. I am so loving seeing all the various flags. It also was so very cathartic for me. Thank you, thank you! (I'm in for 2013)

    1. Thanks Fiona. I have a view of the flags right now...a bit wind tossed. As I look at them, I think about Martha. I'm happy I was able to share a bit about her...such a kind, caring person. I'm sure she would have taken part in this project...she was just that sort.--Julie
