This puzzle I have had for many years. It took me a very long time (years) to bit the bullet and start putting it together. The photo is my in progress to get finished. It is 1000 pieces and the colors are very hard to work with. I started it a couple (maybe more) years ago. Have to keep it covered so my two cats don't disturb it. They love to sleep on any surface that is considered off limits (just like children) with daring to get away with it.

Last year I was very sick in the hospital and almost died had it not been for exploratory surgery. God blessed me sparing my life. Now, I a working on things I think he wanted me to accomplish within my life. Two major surgeries within less than four months gives you much time to consider many things while you are healing. My doctor tells me it will take my body a year to heal and recover.

I have decided that it is time to finish this puzzle, as I put a clear finish onto the puzzle so it can be framed with the beautiful hand made frames that my wonderful husband makes for my finished puzzles.

I will try to remember to do another article when I complete the puzzle.
