“There’s a sunrise awaiting everyone who wishes to see beyond what their windows allow them to see.” ― Maria S Haneef Those of you who follow my Facebook author page know that I invite everyone along on my “Sunday morning coming down” walks each week. Wherever I am, which is usually right here at home, I go out with the dogs …
“I’m late! I’m late! For a very important date! No time to say hello, goodbye! I’m late! I’m late! I’m late!” (The White Rabbit in Alice in the Wonderland) Yes, I am late with this post – again. I was late last week too. The White Rabbit’s lament runs through my head whenever I think about being late and sometimes I sing …
“We can learn so much by observing the way our pets rejoice in life’s simplest moments. For a dog, every morning is Christmas morning. Every walk is the best walk; every meal is the best meal. Take time every day to celebrate the many gifts that are hidden in the ordinary events of your life.” – Cesar Millan, The Dog Whisperer …
The earth laughs in flowers. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson A week or so ago, I invited you to go wildflower hunting with me and promised that we’d go again. That’s the thing with spring. It gifts us with such a variety spread out over a couple of months. Early, early I had to go walking to find the hepatica blooms that …
I sent out a newsletter last week with some book news (mainly that Angel Sister was on e-book sale for cheap, cheap, cheap, but the sale may end tomorrow.) I always have a giveaway in a newsletter, and I often ask if those who respond for the giveaway want to share some kind of story. Usually some of you do …
When we adopt a dog or any pet, we know it is going to end with us having to say goodbye, but we still do it. And we do it for a very good reason: They bring so much joy and optimism and happiness. They attack every moment of every day with that attitude. ~W. Bruce Cameron This weekend I …
When things become peculiar, frustrating and strange, I think it’s a good time to start painting. ~James Rosenquist I know. I know. He’s talking about a different kind of painting. But that wasn’t the kind of painting I was doing. I’m painting my bathroom. Not exactly the most artistic thing. Truth is, about the only artistic painting I ever did …
There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it’s going to be a butterfly. ~R. Buckminster Fuller Okay, so my first picture wasn’t quite as mysterious as I had hoped. A lot of you got it right off. Yes, the spots on a butterfly wing. I do appreciate those of you who used a little more imagination and saw …
Take a walk with Frankie and me down the creek as we go hunting wildflowers. Every spring I try to find a good day, at least once and even better twice, in the spring to go wildflower hunting. It’s not an easy quest. The path down to the creek is steep and rocky. You can slide down if you’re not …
Music comes from an icicle as it melts, to live again as spring water. ~Henry Williamson Spring officially arrives in five days. Usually here in Kentucky we are enjoying spring like weather a week or two before the calendar declares it so. But this year we had those one or two weeks in February. Very unseasonable warmth with May and June …
