In the Good Ole Summertime

When it's summer and the temperature is in the nineties, I love to be near the water.  Just putting your toes into the cool water of a stream or lake makes all the difference.  While we were in Tennessee last month, I took some pictures of the creek that runs at the back of my BIL and SIL's property.

With the temperature in the mid-nineties today, these pictures allow me to pretend that I'm by the creek with a cold glass of ice tea.  A soft breeze blowing and the lovely fragrance of flowers in the air.  I can also pretend that there aren't any bugs around.  I have to pretend because there were chiggers and bugs aplenty for our visit, but this is my fantasy so I can have it however I want.

So sit down, grab a glass of tea, prop up your feet and listen to the water as it flows by.

Some pictures of flowers and plants I found while we were in Tennessee a couple of weeks ago. Enjoy.

Happy 4th of July

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July!

Wow What a Year!

I must say this has been a tough year.  There have been wonderful, joyous events.  There have been times of deep sadness and worry.  Throughout the year we have experienced joy, sorrow, happiness, pain, birth and death.  This is life.  We can not expect each day to be filled with shouts of joy.  But thankfully we also can not always be in the depths of sorrow.

We have had more than our share of the valley's this  year, but we also see times of mountain top joy.  We will get through it all and we will be better for the journey.

I'd like to share a few moments of joy with you.

Giving it a Go Once Again

This year has been a year of many challenges, burdens, sadness and thankfully joy as well.  I haven't had much time to even think about blogging nor the desire.

However, I hope things are rounding the corner so to speak and I will once again be able to post little snippets of my life and thoughts.

So for now this is just a brief hello and see you soon.
