    News and Views/The #Free48

    Last week was, well….was it just 5 work days?  I spent my #Free48 (for those of you new here, that is my new word for weekend) doing a few projects and having some great creative time. I got some chapters finished in the book, added some touches to a painting, started a new watercolor project…

    Beauty and the Beast/#SoCs #Free48

    đŸ˜±   This world is quite maddening. think I’ll go have some tea. WOW! Look at this bee…..   My favorite macro shot from yesterday. Have a safe, peaceful and happy #free48 and do visit Linda Hill’s blog for other great posts and the prompt for today’s #SoCS post! Oh! ‘T’ is also for Train and you can find…

    and I feel certain there must be an organ or two in there as well…   I snapped this shot of a single thread web strung between hydrangea branches as we headed out the front door. And this character scurried across the windshield when we pulled out of the driveway…   Obviously making a fast getaway. I…

    Here We Go/#SoCS/#Free48

    And it started with a crack, not a gunshot. What, you may ask? Well, the race to have a relaxing, productive, fun, peaceful, exciting, safe, drama-free yet noteworthy mini vacation. Easy peasy, right? 😳 And we were off to a great start until Alabama decided to step up and say, “Hey, you know what day it…

    The Messengers/#Free48

    Today was such a beautiful day I had the urge to get out and explore, take photos and just get lost in history.  At first I thought of a church tour but there are just too many here.  The Georgia skyline is literally dotted with steeples. So, I began checking historic churches, which led to…

  • In Search Of Brilliance

    In Search Of Brilliance

    It has been a practice of mine for quite some time now to seek out small miracles which can turn things around-a moment, a day or an event which otherwise seems bleak. The last few weeks have been very trying and painful for my family in many ways; and although I am not right there…

    Speechless/#SoCS

    It is with my apologies to Linda Hill and her #SoCS prompt that today’s post is not as fun filled as I normally try to create.. I try to always post things that lift others up or give them a smile. Sadly, at this particular time, when I hear the word reservation my heart and head are heavy.…

    Time in a Bottle

    One of my favorite Jim Croce songs states, “If I could make days last forever. If words could make wishes come true, I’d save every day like a treasure and then-again-I would spend them with you.” It is a blessing, in life, to have someone you feel this way about. In good and bad times,…

  • I’m Late!

    I’m Late!

    I’m late, I’m late….   I promised I would post the result of my hush puppy trial yesterday but never got around to it. I must apologize but it was with good reason. I was having fun! We were fortunate to be able to get out during a reprieve from our recent rains to make…

  • What Matters…

    What Matters…

    What we hold in the palm of our hands, delicate gift, the heart understands. What we possess but forget in the wake of regret withers in shadow of doubt.     Fragrant remains of desire, kindling for funeral pyre, The bits that you clutch, have so numbed your touch, while faint memory lingers I slip…
