In between rain showers yesterday, I managed to snap a few pictures of some of the flowers in our garden. Of all the ones I took, this is my favorite. The name of this flower is Lavandula stoechas aka French Lavender, Spanish Lavender or Butterfly Lavender. It is often used for essential oils or potpourris. MyContinue reading “May 22, 2021 – Photo”

May 21, 2021 – Unclean Hands
Before I begin, I wanted to share that I received my 3rd Covid-19 vaccination yesterday. Yes, you read that right. It’s my third time around the block. I’ve been staying up on the research for immunosuppressed individuals (such as myself) and how many are achieving the desired results (antibodies) after receiving an additional dose/vaccine byContinue reading “May 21, 2021 – Unclean Hands”

On a summer’s day several years ago, my true-blue friend (also an artist) invited me to meet up with her and do some plein air painting. We settled on a location just over an hour from where I live. This photo really doesn’t do the area justice as it is filled with history. The basaltContinue reading “May 20, 2021 – Photo”
May 19, 2021 – At a Crossroads
As my mother often says (or used to say before dementia entered the picture), “I don’t know up from sic ’em.” Seriously. I don’t know whether I’m coming or going these days. It isn’t just me, however. My husband seems to be suffering from the same affliction. We had a long heart-to-heart this evening aboutContinue reading “May 19, 2021 – At a Crossroads”

What is it about birds that is so fascinating? I could watch them day and night and never get bored. While vacationing in Florida nearly 15 years ago, our family spent an afternoon at the beach (on the Atlantic side). It was either Cocoa or Daytona Beach, not that it makes much of a differenceContinue reading “May 18, 2021 – Photo”
May 17, 2021 – Trouble in Paradise
What is it about beautiful places that brings out the worst in people? More times than I’d care to admit to, I’ve witnessed people coming unglued and acting like animals while spending time in exotic locations (or places intended for rest and relaxation). Sometimes couples leave for destinations like Mexico or the Bahamas and onlyContinue reading “May 17, 2021 – Trouble in Paradise”

My husband and I went to yet another park today and enjoyed the afternoon with our daughter. While sitting upon folding chairs on a grassy area near the water, and taking in all of the sights and sounds, we heard several distinctive ‘chirps’. When I went to investigate where the sound was coming from andContinue reading “May 16, 2021 – Photo”
May 15, 2021 – Revenge is a dish best served cold.
When I was around the age of 10, I got an opportunity to ride on a horse for the first time in my life. We lived in a residential neighborhood but the covenants and/or the city allowed people to keep a horse (or two) on their property. My family didn’t have the means to ownContinue reading “May 15, 2021 – Revenge is a dish best served cold.”

I took this photo last weekend. It’s called ‘Siblings’. There were actually four baby geese but I only managed to capture three in the frame. Because they were moving by at such a rapid pace, I had a heck of a time getting a clear image. This was the best of the bunch. Enjoy!

Have any of you been watching the most recent season of American Idol? Spoiler alert, I just found out that Caleb Kennedy left the show. Caleb is 16 years old and hails from a small town in South Carolina. Just a few days ago, he was voted into the Top 5. I asked my husbandContinue reading “May 13, 2021 – Being Human”
