“You can kid the world. But not your sister.” (Charlotte Gray)Did you ever read a quote that carried any more truth? Sisters know us and we know them in a way no one else can. Tonight, I went back in my blog archives looking for something about my book, Angel Sister. I found plenty of posts. I mention it again in this …
April 25, 1966 Jocie Brooke here reporting from Hollyhill, Kentucky. It’s Monday. A quiet day at school. All the teachers wanted to talk about was finals and that we better study. I do study. Or at least I will before the tests. Didn’t have much time for studying this weekend. We had a dinner at church Sunday. That meant I …
Prayer is simply talking to God like a friend and should be the easiest thing we do each day. (Joyce Meyer) Prayer – a Matter of Faith Do you believe in prayer? I’d guess that most of you who stop by my blog here do. You’ve probably had plenty of times when your prayers were answered. Sometimes just as you …
I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in. ~George Washington Carver If you are a regular here to my blog or on my Facebook page, you know I enjoy the woods and the fields, the flowers and the trees, and the birds and …
April 20, 1966 Jocie Brooke here reporting from Hollyhill, Kentucky. I like April. Do you like April? You can count how much more there is of school by weeks instead of months.

When the Redbuds Bloom No new flower to name this week, but if it was, I’m sure you would all know this one. But when the redbuds bloom, you can know it’s spring in Kentucky. And that you’ll probably have a cool snap in the weather for Redbud Winter. But the Name the Flower game is over and the winners …
Name the Flower Game is Almost Over All good things must come to an end, they say, and I suppose that goes for fun with wildflowers in a Name the Flower game too. This is the last wildflower for you to guess or to name to get an entry in the drawing for a couple of books. The winner’s choice …
April 13, 1966 Jocie Brooke here reporting from Hollyhill, Kentucky. Not a lot to report today. Well, Dad says every day holds its own special blessings. Didn’t the sun come up today, he’ll ask me. If I say of course it did, he’ll tell me that some things shouldn’t be taken for granted. That the sunrise every morning is blessing. …
New Flower to Name We’re coming down to the homestretch on my Name the Flower contest. Some of you have guessed every post or almost every post and so got your name thrown in my giveaway hat numerous times. We’ll see if that helps your luck next Sunday when I pick the three winners. But before that, you have time …
A new flower for my Name the Flower giveaway game As I’m sure you’ve been able to tell the last couple of weeks, I really enjoy wildflowers and taking pictures of them. I used to have to consider each picture back when I used film cameras. But with digital cameras, I can go wild and take more and more pictures …
