Thank you Moon--it's always good to see you. I am guilty here tonight-mixup

in my schedule and I had an evening meeting/event to attend tomorrow, but thought it is tonight. So my cancer-surviving wife drove our daughter, Ayanda, to her college after her day at the pffice. I did get to catch up with many blogs...otherwise I try to be kind to the ones who leave comments if I am popping in and out (A south African expression, kapish?)--

Yes, I suppose I could sign off as Joy!Mary here as well.  I'm smiling.  I love visiting your blog, Punday as it's always showing me something beautiful.  Perhaps I'll write something one of these days about my country.  Good idea!  --Joy!Mary

I also love how u sign off, Joy!Mary! Yes, tulips and forsythia are pure

innocence in early spring ...sometimes the daffodils are so big I just make-believe my tulips are here: get it, two lips--spring lover's and mine. Just kidding....thanks for your visits Mary. I know so little of Canadian flora apart from the Maple and the forests that are so special and spectacular.

Sun on Roots

Love that!  Sounds like a title of something?  Where I am here in Canada, our tulips, etc., are only up about 6".  They'll be blooming in mid-April.  I can't wait!

Yellow Fire Indeed!

YPunday, just beautiful!  Photo, prose and sonnet.  The colours really added to my smile as well.  Wonderful job!

Lady Cee, I hope that your forsythia may go with you; or that U may live on

in your home so full of good memories and comforting nooks and meanings. I know Jay is thinking of the future...and you are doing your best. God is good--and will come through for you. You have come this far by Faith; greater testimony is in store for those with peaceful ways and prayer on their lips. shalomfromneil

Chili,Tony (Of SONNET/zonnet) fame and Chris Scramble--your visits are so

refreshing for me. Thanks much; and I shall try to oblige Tony. A lot of what I learn is to enjoy Nature out there, on walks, to the Reserves, past neighbors...then ask someone or google common names & learn more about each flora and fauna. shalomfromneil

Beautifully told and educational as well!  I am enjoying our Forsythia that is blooming.  I will miss our home if we really sell it!  I should get something posted today. Guess I was just taking a little break!

I found a Silverton voice therapist here in Leavenworth who works at the VA.  I am very hopeful I can set up a program to restore my voice.  It takes an hour a day every day for a month. Then practice every day.  But I could drive myself if it's here in town! How exciting!!

I was looking up information about a drug for another Parky and found this information. God IS good!  I'm awaiting a return call. Keeping fingers and toes crossed!

A most attractive flower feature - would like to see more of these,

because I don't know very much about them - flowers, trees and birds - you know lots about them all. Well done, Neil.
