Mother Nature's Abundant Gifts

A thankful offering to mother nature for her abundant gifts

and sending each of you

best wishes for a wonderful Thanksgiving.

In the Early Morning Light

In the early morning light, the nursery down the road always feels so peaceful. Places like this, the ones you can always count on for some soul resting as you pass, are priceless. If this special spot of mine were given a waking sound I think it would be this.

Room 424

“Send two dozen roses to Room 424 and put

`Emily, I love you' on the back of the bill.”

Groucho Marx

A little color for our gray Northwest Sunday.

Have a great Monday!

Evidence

Unearthed evidence of a season passing, found on a leaf stroll in Gig Harbor. Me thinks I've watched too many NCIS shows. I don't watch much TV but for some reason (or reasons) I have a true NCIS addiction. There. It's out. I've confessed. Crime solving by funny characters, one of my weaknesses.

At this point, in this age of endless reruns, it is possible to overdue. And we (I say we because my husband and I share the addiction) do seem to be exhibiting some things I suspect are early signs of "overdue". I'm not naming them individually but...the leaves above were almost scooped up so they could be tested for soils of origin, possible poisons and DNA. Good thing I have a day job to force me to stay in the real world! Most of the time.

I Love Succulents

I love succulents. So many interesting varieties, colors, shapes and sizes. These were grown by someone with good watering skills. Over watering is their downfall. Hard to avoid here in the Northwest. Hope you have a terrific Friday!

Whether They Want to Or Not

"When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not."

Georgia O'Keeffe

A Matter of Choice

"Light and shadow are opposite sides of the same coin.

We can illuminate our paths or darken our way.

It is a matter of choice."

-Maya Angelou
