Creation
Rest or Repose
My son and I spent the morning at the zoo today. It was very warm and most of the animals were lying about in the shade, in their pool, or sunning themselves. Only a few were actually moving about, but we still enjoyed watching them. At lunch, my son told me about the workout schedule […]
Eggs in the Nest
About 2 weeks ago, we noticed 2 finches trying desperately to build a nest between our front porch light and the side of the house. They seemed to be having a difficult time and we found more twigs and tall grass on the welcome mat and on the floor rather than in their nesting area. […]
Traveling Weather
After all the graduation celebrations, packing up belongings, and saying goodbye to friends and family, my son and I hit the road for the long drive home. We had originally thought we would take our time and do some sight-seeing along the way. But my son was excited to get to his destination, so we […]
Sun Shine on My Face
The sky was overcast with thick clouds early this morning I was driving to an appointment. I was listening to the Christian radio which I always find uplifting. The song, Beautiful Day by Jamie Grace was being introduced. She said that when she was having a bad day, she would tell her father that this was […]
Petal Dance
When I opened the garage door the other day, I noticed what looked like white confetti all over the floor. As I looked closer, I realized it was petals from the nearby tree that had bloomed. I was able to take a little walk today and took in the signs of Spring. Many trees had […]
Baby Giraffe
This morning I checked social media and saw that April the giraffe was finally actually having her baby. I know people who have been keeping a vigilant watch for weeks now. I was surprised when I heard my mom got up early for no apparent reason. I told her about the giraffe and asked if she […]
The Easter Lily
My mom and I went to the Parkinson’s support group this afternoon. I learn so much when we go to these meetings and meet wonderful people. The meetings end with a potluck lunch. There is a chaplain who reads a little meditation and prayer before we eat. Today she talked about how the shape of the […]
Option Two
We took advantage of the mild weather today and headed to the cabin in the mountains for the day. We decided ahead of time that we would stay a little longer since it stays light longer and stop for dinner on the way home. After enjoying the day, we surprised ourselves when we got in […]
Positive Exposure
We have visited the mall several times for various reasons, but only realized recently that there has been a photography exhibit there. Being a photographer himself, my dad spent some time at the mall the other day, but was unable to locate the exhibit. We decided to give it another try, so my dad and I headed […]
Meeting a Mountain Man
Today we took a little trip up to the cabin in the mountains. On the way, we kept an eye out for wildlife as usual. We spotted a herd of bighorn sheep near the rocks we usually see them. Before I could slow down, we were past them, so I found a place to turn […]
