Violets and Spring Winners
The splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not rob the little violet of its scent nor the daisy of its simply charm. If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness. (Therese of Lisieux) Wild violets are not always violet colored. That is purple. Sometimes they are white. Sometimes they …
Happiness is a Butterfly & Finding “The End”
Happiness is a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. (Nathaniel Hawthorne) August is a great time for butterflies. I chased one all around the hayfield the other day when I was walking to try to get a picture. I think butterflies are born teasers when they …
How Lilacs Made the Title
I love lilacs. I know it’s not lilac season, but it’s the season of free e-books for Scent of Lilacs. It won’t last much longer, so tell your reading friends to go get something for nothing. 🙂 And so, since I’m still fighting that deadline on my work in progress – I’m not sure I’m ever going to find those …

A Bee and a Winner
I finally stumped some of you with my mystery picture. Last Sunday, most of you got the polar bear underwater right away, but this little bee had some of you coming up with great guesses that were fun but not exactly right. Linda and Danie had the sharpest eyes, although Linda thought the bee was on a sunflower. The most …
Words – A Reason for Thanksgiving
Words “Words are only postage stamps delivering the object for you to unwrap.” ~George Bernard Shaw Since I let Wednesday slip away without posting last night, I’m writing this early on Thanksgiving morning. So of course, it is about being thankful. I have so many blessings to count, that I could write them down all day and then nobody would …
Mysteries and a Winner Revealed
Those mystery photos turned out to be a lot of fun for me. The guesses were very creative. Most all of you got the first photo right. But Sarah said the one thing she was sure of is that it wasn’t a fence. I guess she thought I’d be sneakier than that. Judy guessed that it was a fence and …
