“No object is mysterious. The mystery is your eye.” ~Elizabeth Bowen I promised the answer to Sunday’s mystery photo Wednesday, but then the grandkids came to go blackberry picking. The same as many grandmothers, everything else gets shelved when the grandkids come around. I thought I’d find the time to post it before last night, but I don’t know what …
“Book woman, give me a book.” That was what the packhorse librarians often heard when they rode up to a schoolhouse on their horse or mule with their saddlebags or sometimes gunnysacks full of library books. Many of the mountain children had little access to books and it was exciting to get something new and different to read. The packhorse …
The meaning of the violet changes depending on the color of the flower and the person the flower is sent to. Blue violet flowers symbolizes love and faithfulness, white violets represent purity and chastity, and yellow violets symbolize high worth and goodness. On Sunday’s post, I invited you all along on a wildflower hunt and then asked you about your …
“What a lonely place it would be to have a world without a wildflower!” ― Roland R Kemler Every spring I give myself at least one afternoon to go wildflower hunting. And so, since the sun was shining today and the wildflowers were bound to be blooming, I took off for the creek with the dogs, Marley and Frankie. That …
Every day is some kind of special day on the internet. Actually, I think we should consider every day a special day – another day to live and love. But the special days I’m talking about are when somebody – I don’t know who – declares that this is “Ice Cream for Breakfast Day” or “Eat a Pizza Day.” I …

This picture and one more and I’m saving the best picture for last. Well, I think it’s the best anyway. In keeping with my play theme and with Halloween coming up, here’s a photo of …
Our brains are built to benefit from play no matter what our age. ~Theresa A. Kestly It’s my birthday month so it’s time to have some fun and to give away some books. Of course, you can check out Last Sunday’s post, Mining Parenting Memories, and leave a comment on that post to be entered in a drawing for a …
“The dog lives for the day, the hour, even the moment.” ~Robert Flacon Scott Okay so Sunday’s mystery photo wasn’t a great mystery. A lot of you knew what it was. I guess the pecan mystery picture was my tricky highlight (so far) and this one my low light. But that’s okay. I’m fine with some right guesses. It definitely …
“What we could consider magic, may just be science that we don’t understand yet.” ― Patricia Robin Woodruff, Strange Tales of Floyd County, VA Thank you all for playing my Mystery Photo Game. Some of you are really hard to trick into thinking something different than what it is. But I guess some people are simply better at solving mysteries …
Being the owner of dachshunds, to me a book on dog discipline becomes a volume of inspired humor. Every sentence is a riot. Some day, if I ever get a chance, I shall write a book, or warning, on the character and temperament of the dachshund and why he can’t be trained and shouldn’t be. I would rather train a …
