It’s My Favorite Flower, My Lovely Gardenia

The month of May is always something I do look forward to because I know my lone gardenia shrub would not disappoint. It always gives me that heady and intoxicating scent every time I see a new bloom. Here’s a first for this year and lots more coming because almost every tip has a bud [...]

Life at 3pm

The heat is getting a little oppressive so staying in the garden and feeling the gentle breeze touch my cheeks is a welcome thing. This little corner is mom’s refuge every afternoon playing a game of Solitaire while our three dogs watch like silent sentinels at her side. The occasional sound of cars, motorcycles and [...]

A Blessed Good Friday To All

A  friend forwarded this a few minutes ago, it’s too good not to share.  They are reflections  of an old man who donated blood one Good Friday. I gave blood, Christ gave His long ago; I gave a pint, He gave it all. My needle was short and sharp, His nails were large and dull. [...]
