  • Someone or Somebody

    Today our nation celebrated the National Day of Prayer. The theme was Unity. Yesterday I emailed some folks this picture of an itsy-bitsy spider on a web it had spun above a dew-drenched flower. Zooming in diffused the background creating a weird, psychedelic effect. The National Day of Prayer theme of Unity, and the diametrically…

  • Little Crumbs

    My breakfast this morning was 5*****, slowly savoring my ‘favoritest’ pie . . . Strawberry-Rhubarb !!! Loving prepared by my 5***** ‘chefette’ whom I married a decade ago, I never regret pulling-the-plug on my long-term relationship with Marie Callender and her 1* microwave cuisine😊 However, leaving Marie has not been without consequences . . .…

  • Black and Blue

    Rural living precludes urban living’s convenient access to the theater, but Mother Nature featured a free-admission BBB feature . . . Butterflies, Birds and Bears . . . today up here on the mountain – down in the ‘holler’ – over the ‘crick’ 😊 I M Blessed . . . May U B 2 Keep…

  • Then and Now

    On of my favorite Microsoft tools is the On This Day feature. It pops-up pictures saved over the past two decades on my One Drive that were taken on this day. It significantly assists this ole ragamuffin in remembering fond memories from days-of yore. I’ve affectionately dubbed it my AnDeHeDe . . . Anti-Dementia-Help-Device😊 Today…

  • Nature’s Monet Art

    “The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration.” Claude Monet Today nature treated me to this inspirational scene . . . a blooming azalea and Japanese maple reflected a Claude Monet impressionist painting on the still waters. Oscar-Claude Monet (1840 – 1926) was a French painter and founder of impressionist painting who…

  • Beauty and the Beast

    Spring in the Smokies is in glorious bloom! Today’s woodland wander was a stroll along Beauty Boulevard. “Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil or spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed as one of these.” Matthew6:28 . . . until going off-trail…

  • News vs. Nature

    This evening we visited a friend who has a home on Tennessee River. Instead of watching the network evening news, we tuned in the local nature documentary on ABC . . . Abba’s Beauty Channel . . . commercial free😊 “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork.” Psalm 119:1…

  • Road Trip

    Road trips are fodder for unforeseen adventure and blessings. Thus far, our current one has traversed nearly 2,000 miles through eight states. It has been laden with a variety of unexpected adventures and blessings that have God’s fingerprints all over them. Here’s snippets of some that have been ours to experience along the journey. Memorial…

  • S.N.O.W. Therapy

    “A picture is worth a thousand words.” This one from This Day Pictures app popped up my computer today. It triggered a hundred thousand words worth of memories of a solo snowshoe trek ten years ago high up in Alaska’s Talkeetna Range. Snowshoes hushed shush over a white landscape is a clam like none other…

  • Wishbone Family Album

    I was in my element today . . . wandering the woods with other turkeys. Wishbone definitely makes a fashion statement, but it doesn’t appear to ‘fowl up’ her relationships with the other girls in her family, or her flamboyant boyfriends 😊 “All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise…
