These are random musings of my life journey, the people, animals, places, and events which have woven, and continue to weave, a tapestry that is me. We all know there is no real destination, only the ongoing experiences which blend together, creating the trail. Each step gives a glimpse of what is to come, without allowing me to see the end result. It is exciting. I have a home base that is mine, that gives me a place to rest. This is it. This is where my heart is, no matter where I journey...................

About That Weather....

This is for those of you suffering in this awful cold spell. And don't shot the messenger! I'm trying to make you smile!!


“Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind
braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such
thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.”


John Ruskin, (1819-1900), art critic, sage writer, and social
critic, wrote essays on art and architecture that were
extremely influential in the Victorian and Edwardian eras

  1. You know, I totally agree. It is colder than a witches titty in a brass bra here in Car-o-lina but it invigorates me, wakes up the spirit, refreshes me!

    *and would probably earn me a solid SMACK from those poor souls in the NE, Mid-West, etc!*

  8. Oh my goodness Lyn I never miss a day reading your blog...sometimes more than once, but most times I cannot comment. I'm overwhelmed with your knowledge of worldly things and your ability to express yourself so eloquently.

    I'm just happy being able to read it, and to comment if I want to.

    Thank you for allowing me in to your blog.

  10. Ruth, Good! Actually you are one of those who reads and comments regularly. "Regularly" meaning often enough that I know you're out there. And I'm glad you do!

  13. Daisy, yeah, there is a point of cold at which it is simply impossible to enjoy anything. I hope it will be ending for you soon.
