 Adventure Express

There is a most beautiful park just a few miles

from my house that I go to a couple of times a week.

Bernheim Forest

A shot of the Quiet Garden from across the lake.

There are miles of walking and biking paths under shade tress.

All the trees are labeled and marked and there is every species of flower.

I was there for a visit today.

Mosaic Monday

Lots of great photos and stories out there.

Mosaic done in the form of a magazine cover.

As a new growing season is upon us we are all experiencing varying changes in our usual weather scene.
In the mid and south east we have had storm after storm after storm.
Days and nights of continuous rain and hail.
May God bless all those who have been through devastation of property and lose of life.
We are thankful that our 
little neck of the woods is only water logged and Sunday the morning drenching we had turned into a beautiful sunshiney day.


This is what is growing around our house right now.

Mosaic Monday & Jingle Poetry Potluck Monday

Today is Mosaic Monday

The middle of March

Been looking at silk artificial flowers all winter.

Here they are on display.

Amaryllis on the hearth, Hydrangea in the entrance hall, Roses on the desk vying for room
with the books and knick knacks.


Peeping through the divider around my desk.

Sunflowers in my new Irish stein for St. Pat's day.
Hydrangea hanging over the storage wardrobe.

But now!!!!!

TA Da
Drum Roll.......


Our first fresh flower bouquet.
They are the tiniest little Daffodils.

Jingle Poetry's Potluck Monday

Nature's Spring Recital


I hear a distant engine humming to the tempo of a lazy day.

Putt Putt,putt, putt  --adagio

A neighbor's dog takes up the beat.
Arf, Arf, arf, arf


Putt,Putt, Arf, Arf,  -Allegro


The blue birds chime in with a
Chrip, Chrip

Putt, Putt, Arf, Art, Chirp, Chrip---Crescendo


Then It starts all over again
Putt, Putt, Arf, Arf, Chirp, Chirp.
I find my self tapping my toe to the rhythm.
Putt, putt, arf,arf, chirp, chirp.
Over and over again.
I stand and raise my arms in the maestro's stance.
I always dreamed of conducting an orchestra.


The Spring Recital has begun.


Coda.
