I sent out a newsletter this week with a late Valentine giveaway. You know some people are always a day late and a dollar short. But it’s never too late for chocolate and Valentine hugs. Okay, so I don’t have any chocolate to give you. If I did, I’d eat it myself. But I’d think about you while I was …
How cold is it? Plenty cold where I am here in Kentucky. When I peeked at the thermometer this a.m. it showed minus 8. While that might not be so chilly for some of you northern folks, down here in the almost south, it’s cold. But worse, they say it’s not supposed to get over 5 degrees today. And that’s …
Happy Valentine’s Weekend! Here’s a natural valentine I spotted on one of my walks some time last year. I’ve been saving it for this day. A day late, I know, but we can celebrate love any day, can’t we? As far as I know, nobody carved this heart in this tree. It just happened. A gift of nature. But then …
“The people who influence you are the people who believe in you.” ~Henry Drummond I am blessed by the influence of so many people who have believed in me through the years. My mother, first and foremost, always believed I could do whatever I set out to do. That’s not to say she might not have been a …
It was my youngest son’s birthday today. He has a family of his own now to be daddy to and he’s a wonderful daddy. But I’m not sure he ever taught his kids to eat the peanut butter and pancake syrup on biscuits that his dad taught him to eat when he was just a little tyke. He could never …
Are those the magic fairy wands glistening on the trees or only winter icicles that I see? (Anonymous) I took a break from trying to flesh out a new story idea yesterday and went walking. Walking is a good time for thinking. You see everything around you, but you don’t have to really think about how you’re moving your feet …
Thanks to all of you who made my mystery picture contest so much fun. I enjoyed all your guesses. The right ones were good, but the wrong ones were fun. So just for fun here is a last mystery picture. This one isn’t for prizes. I didn’t use it because I really didn’t think it would be fair, but you …
On my last post, I finally found a mystery picture that was a real mystery to you all. A few of you came close but nobody figured out exactly what Sunday night’s mystery picture actually was. You did make some great guesses however. The stumper mystery photo Some of you were right there with my title last week saying …
New Mystery Photo Great Guesses You all are the most fun! Love the guesses and I have to admit that I’m glad I did finally trick a few of you with my mystery picture. I still think it sort of looks like a fish head and NOBODY guessed anything near that. But somebody did guess a caterpillar under snow. That …
Here’s the new mystery picture. We’ll see if I can be a tad trickier this time than last time. I was trying to be tricky last time, but obviously I missed the mark on that. I had no idea that all of you were country girls like me who knew your wood. Here is the picture nearly all …
