“A flower blossoms for its own joy.” ~Oscar Wilde The dogs and I went wildflower hunting, and in spite of how winter has seemed to hold on past its time, we found plenty. Well, I admit that I was more interested in the wildflowers than my furry walking buddies even if it does look here as though Frankie might be thinking …
When you get a perfect spring day in April on a Saturday or a Sunday, you need to take advantage of the gift if you can. And when the whole weekend feels like a perfect June day, it’s time to be outside. We did go to church which was inside. I have remembered times when it was suggested we carry …
“What a lonely place it would be to have a world without a wildflower!” ― Roland R Kemler Every spring I give myself at least one afternoon to go wildflower hunting. And so, since the sun was shining today and the wildflowers were bound to be blooming, I took off for the creek with the dogs, Marley and Frankie. That …
“What a lonely place it would be to have a world without a wildflower!” ~Roland R Kemler When spring starts warming up and flowers start blooming, my feet get itchy to take a walk down the creek to check on the wildflowers that grow over in a cliff area on my farm.

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.

Well, in the middle of February when the cold wind is blowing and the sun has hidden its face behind clouds for days, then I admit to being a …
Once upon a time several years ago, I think before my first inspirational novel, Scent of Lilacs, was published, I played with the idea of writing a book of devotions for the casual hiker. I hoped to come up with fifty-two, one a week. Devotional Thoughts for Hikers. Well, I might have needed a better title than that. I wrote a dozen …
“What a lonely place it would be to have a world without a wildflower!” ―Roland R Kemler If you have been hanging around here long or follow me on my Facebook page, you already know that I like spotting wildflowers on my walks here on the farm with my dog, Frankie. While I like to stop and get closer looks …
“Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together … all things connect.” —Chief Seattle I’ve said before on here that writing a novel can be thought of as making a web, something where each strand of web connects …
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 …
