Our colder than normal winter should bring us a good wildflower season. Our Department of Transportation even publishes wildflower maps on their website.

from Texas, but I'm going to google to see them. I love all flowers, but feel wildflowers are the loveliest of all.

a perfect piece of music at just the right time that pierces your soul

the clarity that comes after morning coffee when ideas and possibilities spring into your head

And my gardens. The smell of snow on our big pine trees. The sound of rain on our metal roof. A good book--the kind with real pages. And my sweetie's morning kiss.

Both my daughters are adults and it's wonderful how we can relate on all the levels we've lived through together.

25. Clouds in a blue sky

Mar 2018

I’ve always loved big cumulus clouds in a big bright blue sky. To me it’s an ever changing landscape of grandeur from the soft hues of the dawning morning to the sunny brightness of mid day to the strong colors of sunset.

And mist. It’s magical.

I love weather.

Herons and cranes. Deer. Dramatic thunder and lightning storms. Fresh fallen snow. Daffodils and pansies.

And, of course, purrs and head butts from my cats.
