I don’t have the seeds for this old tree I spotted out in Monterey Bay. It was such an ancient tree that the garden keepers have built a frame to support its branches. That’s loving a tree. Nobody was around for me to ask what the …
Some Seeds are Trouble
Have you had fun guessing the seeds? This is the last one. I’ll be drawing for the winners this weekend. Two winners or who knows? Maybe three. And remember you don’t have to have the right guess to enter. Just say you don’t know the way Gail and Annette did on Sunday’s post. But some of you did guess my Sunday …
And the Seeds March On
While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease. (Genesis 8:22) It’s seedtime here again with a new one for you to guess. I’m making you work hard to maybe win a couple of books, but I hope you’re having fun too. This might be another not so easy …
Mystery Seeds
“With every deed you are sowing a seed, though the harvest you may not see.” ~Ella Wheeler Wilcox Are you tired of seed mysteries yet? When I walked this afternoon, I kept seeing more and more seeds. I could keep this up for another month of two, but I won’t. The giveaway contest ends on October 31. Then I’ll draw …
Another Seed to Guess
Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so. (Genesis 1:11 NKJ) Just as I thought, most all of you guessed last week’s “seed.” They were black walnuts. A few of you …
Seedtime Guesses and More
Happiness held is the seed; Happiness shared is the flower. ~John Harrigan Loved all your great guesses last week on my seed picture. Some of the guesses were of seeds I recognized – blueberries, huckleberries, gooseberries. But others of you mentioned berries that had me wondering. I’ll be looking some of them up on the net. Saskatoon berries, farkleberries, Nantucket …
Seeding Time – A New Contest to Win Some Books
“Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.” (George Eliot) Do you love the season of autumn? What a great time to get outside and enjoy some sunshine. Maybe sit in a glider on your deck or porch and read a book. Now …
The Saga of the Breast MRI
After I wrote a few weeks ago about being diagnosed with breast cancer, I’ve heard from many of you who have fought the same fight. We do have the one in eight statistic staring us in the face. Many of you have shared with me about your diagnoses and how now you are cancer free. You’ve also given me advice …
A Sister Walk Back in Time
“For there is no friend like a sister in calm or stormy weather; to cheer one on the tedious way, to fetch one if one goes astray, to life one if one totters down, to strengthen whilst one stands.” ~Christina Rosetti Took a walk with my sisters this afternoon and we attempted a selfie. Needed an extension on my arm. …
Birthday Stories and the Birthday Giveaway Winners!
This picture is a few years old. My grandson is taller than me now and I can’t pick up both the little ones anymore, but this is the last birthday photo I have of me. Grandkids make a birthday fun, but now my birthday month has come to an end. It’s October. That means it’s time to pick winners in …
