I don’t believe that I have ever seen a butterfly land on the plumeria before, and I just happened to have my cell phone with its camera to capture the moment. The butterfly flew away soon after but, thanks to modern technology, the memory has become timeless. #butterfly #monarch #plumeria #technologh #cellphone #good

Apple Butter and Coffee Mother
The smell of bread toasting while open containers of butter and apple butter await its arrival brings back memories of a farm house full of the aroma of apples and cinnamon. On cold winter days or warm summer mornings it was always just the right combination. While having a Fairy Coffee Mother as the signContinue reading “Apple Butter and Coffee Mother”

Doorhandle of Time
I remember, as a child, seeing this handle on the door of a makeshift closet under the stairs. It had been painted white and there was an opening in it for a skeleton key, but there was no corresponding lock mechanism. It was a fun place to hide and to pretend to lock and unlockContinue reading “Doorhandle of Time”
Timeless Tracks
A few years ago we spent some time at Flagler Beach, Florida. One morning we arose to discover that a turtle had laid her eggs in the beach during the night.

Jupiter lines up with the upper part of a sideways “V” that marks the head of Taurus, the bull. Like the Pleiades, this is alsoContinue reading “Wandering Wonders”
I Caught My Eye
I was working on the blog when suddenly a shadowy movement caught my eye; it was me! Sunlight through the window cast my silhouette onto the closet doors and even put a twinkle in my eye. Not only did this provide inspiration, it also made for a moment of illumination. Yes, I really do lookContinue reading “I Caught My Eye”
‘Shroom-bow
With the recent warm, wet weather, mushrooms are sprouting in the neighborhood lawns. This group appears to have been sprayed in an arc alongside the street. Often they form expanding circles sometimes known as fairy rings, however, in this case they appear to make an arch like a rainbow. Either way they make a greatContinue reading “‘Shroom-bow”
Bumped Out
I’m not sure if the owner of this trailer left in a hurry, or if the bump-out was working its way back out on its own as the trailer trundled down the road. It certainly looked hazardous when we were passing it at highway speeds. I was worried that if it were to slide outContinue reading “Bumped Out”
Pleasant Pause
Sunbeams burnished the driftwood stand and sparkled on the blown glass to catch my eye. I just had to pause briefly to admire the view and to take its picture, of course. #driftwood #blownglass #sunbeams #sparkle
