My hopes for spring always soar when I spot the first robin of the season. Like yesterday. But, this morning, they flocked to our yard. I grabbed my camera to capture their number but they fled as soon as I moved, even from inside my house. Finally, I managed to sneak closer with my zoom lens, only to discover that [...]

By necessity, our tour of Raleigh was condensed into a couple hours. So we parked near City Market and walked the cobblestone streets, which highlight its history. What texture! I felt a sense of wonder as I walked them. After all, North Carolina is one of the original 13 colonies. How old are those streets? What have those coblestones seen and [...]

Our visit with Handsome Son # 1 in Raleigh was fabulous. We had a blast hanging out with his incredibly talented friends.
And the “Writing for the [...]

Now I have to chose between spending time with the Lord and posting on my blog. [...]

Hero and I are catching an early flight in the morning to visit Handsome Son # 1. He’s in the military so it’s rare, and very special, when we get to see him. (By the way, he’s single and I”m taking applications for a daughter-in-law! Just sign up in the comment box.)
We’ll be gone five days and [...]

Today, we need to look at love of country. The United States of America is at a critical crossroads and it’s time for us citizens to speak up. Rather than me saying more, please go here:

Just in case DM from I Also Live on a Farm is looking, yes, I admit I – ahem – “borrowed” this photo from your blog. How else was I gonna keep it a secret from Winston? See, I needed a visual to entice readers.

“Be Mine.” These enticing words beckon from T-shirts, mugs, greeting cards…you name it. Probably our favorite place to spot them is on pastel candy hearts; along with other fun expressions like, You Rock, Luv U, Cutie…
Valentine’s Day is a fun and romantic holiday. True, it’s not a day-off-work one, but it is nationally [...]
