At Home With "At Home"
A good place to hang out on a rainy day, or meet a friend in the corner that is Starbucks for a catch-up chat and coffee and a goody or two. It has to be a day when you are not in a hurry--no place to be by such and such time, for one book leads to another, a birthday card for a friend, a 2016...

The Haunting
Windy days and wet weather are quickly making bare the wooded areas as leafy beauties take off on their own for a new and short adventure before ending in the gutters of the city, caught on fences, and bagged or blown into piles for compost. I have so enjoyed the autumn colors, and yet the haunting...

Last Days Of Summer?
Playing at the lake with my camera on a warm, sunny day in November. All week, each day, the temperature is supposed to reach seventy degrees plus.

Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf?
"To be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your own path, and don't worry about the darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest” ~ I don't know who said it, but I like it. "Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more...

Halloween Princess
"Who wants to be a Zombie or a Witch and have a crooked nose with a wart or sharp teeth with blood on them?" I want to be pretty, says Marianna.

Let's Pretend
This shot of where I live makes me think of "The Last of the Mohicans" by James Finemore Cooper. It seems that out of the corner of my eye, I can see the quick movement of one or two of the Hurons slinking about with their tomahawks, or a grizzly bear after Magua, except for one thing. The land is...

Got My Fresh Air, Ready To Root
A late afternoon walk seemed to be in order since evening will bring another World Series Game between the Kansas City Royals and the New York Mets, and I will be sitting to watch for however long it takes. Last night it took five and a half hours. Since it ended after midnight, and if we win this...

I Love Memoirs
Two years ago Great-grandbaby Baisy was already writing her memoirs. Today, as big girl Marianna she leans against Jeri's suitcase all packed and ready to go back to CA. Marianna is sporting a new short haircut because when Mama wasn't paying attention, she got her scissors and whacked off a lot of...

All Around KC
Today I noted that a late-turning tree in the side yard was changing from the top down and I couldn't help but get my camera and take advantage of the changes. My Kansas City Sis has some really beautifully colored trees around her place, and we are always comparing and sharing. This one I'm sending...

Not Mine. I Switched.
The Scout, a Sioux Indian on horseback surveying the landscape ~ Wikipedia I took a picture, really I did, but when I got home and compared it to this one in Wikipedia, I could see that it was so much better than mine that I switched so you could see what it really looked like. In mine, Friend Jeri...
