Summer, please restart yourself.  ~unknown

I suppose summer is officially considered done come Monday, even though [calendar-wise] there are three weeks left until fall. I have no idea where it went, only that it always goes by way too fast.  Happy TGIF, everyone!  Enjoy this Labor Day weekend.

I almost burned holes in my retinas taking this picture. Thank God for glorious sunshine! A sight for sore [and waterlogged] eyes. Happy TGIF, y’all!

"That beautiful season the Summer!
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light;
And the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood."
-  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Happy TGIF! Hope your day was filled with magical light.

Grandson Knox standing in the glow from a sundrenched stained glass window after worship service this morning. All the pretty colors got bleached out by the sunlight. The little kids love to play in these windows.

Day Sixty Seven 2013

T G I F ~ some randomness
IMG_9005
Here comes the sun! If you click on this picture to enlarge it, you can see all the tiny sunbursts in the birdbath water, along with the sun’s glorious reflection. Pretty cool and totally accidental on my part.
IMG_9009
Our birdbath hasn’t been cleaned out in a long time and contains a little eco system all its own. There are tiny bubbles in the water around that little feather (I think it’s a feather).
IMG_9014
Our porches haven’t been cleaned off all winter, either. This is one of the rotting pumpkins from last Fall still sitting on the deck that will need to be scooped off with a shovel because it has turned to liquid. That should be fun.

The sun is new each day.

Watering can can’t water with a hole in the bottom.
IMG_9025
All of our buttercups look like this ~ bowed down even in the bright sunlight. They bloomed way too early this year and have been beaten down by the recent snow.
IMG_9031
You’re never too old to blow bubbles, which I did this afternoon, [even though the grand peeps weren’t around], just because they were still sitting out on the table where we left them earlier this week. Could not resist.
IMG_9036
Little buttercup bud just can’t hold its head up ~ too weak from the cold and snow.
IMG_9039
This little stone in our walkway commemorates the year we moved into this house ~ 30 years ago this month. Hard to believe I’ve spent half my life here.

We all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.

Good advice.
Happy TGIF, y’all! Hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Day Forty Three 2013

People don’t notice whether it’s winter or summer when they’re happy.
~Anton Chekhov

The winter sun made the sky look like it had a big hole in it today.

Day Three Hundred Fifty Six 2012

IMG_7971
Looking through one of the beveled glass windows in my front door this afternoon I could see three suns. That would have been a nice reality on this cold and blustery first day of Winter—the shortest day and the longest night of the year. Happy TGIF and Happy Winter, everyone! (The Mayans had no clue. I'm not surprised. Are you?)

Day One Hundred Seventy One 2012

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?
W. H. Davies

Just don’t stare at the sun! Here’s a snapshot of the last day of Spring (taken with cell phone camera~I always get the lens flare when shooting at the sun~and the lens flare always looks like a UFO).  The scorching sun decided that today should be the first day of Summer, I think. Happy end of Spring! Tomorrow is another day, another season, Lord willing.

Day Fifty Seven 2012







































Hubby Neil and I managed another walk around the block this afternoon. Wow. Two days in a row. Didn't need a jacket today, but my scarf felt good around my neck. What a gorgeous Sunday! It looked and felt a bit like October. When we got back to the house, we sat on the front porch swing and soaked up the sunshine and fresh air. Neil thought we'd been walking for at least a half hour. He couldn't believe it when I told him we'd been gone for only fifteen minutes. Maybe we should walk more often.
