I agree, that was a delightful trip down memory lane and the words came to mind before I read them. Very fun but showing my age. Whistling cool photo too. Thank you

This week's Spotlight of Words:


Thumb of 2023-08-27/wildflowers/3e43b1

This is my wish for you:
Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes,
Rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips,
Sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag,
Beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being,
Faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt,
Courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth,
Love to complete your life.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Thank you all. Lovey dubby Ralph Waldo Emerson has been a favorite of mine for a long time.

The photos were taken when our dear friends from Sweden came to visit. They were astonished at how obedient all of the dogs were. The dogs got lots of treats during that visit. So did the chickens! Hilarious!

Thank you all. Smiling

Kristi, thank you!! I do see more of the Common Buckeye at this time of year. It's no doubt the most colorful butterfly seen in the garden. It's nice to know that it invokes happy thoughts for you. Lovey dubby
