I had a lovely "visit" just a few minutes ago. My husband was out on the landing smoking a cig. (yes I hate it, but he wont quit) anyways he stuck his head in a few seconds latter and asked me to come out--There was what appears to be a Monarch butterfly by our front door! :-) I love 'em. The is an old Cherokee legend that says you should whisper ( Read more... )

Had a rather interesting day yesterday. As one of those "spur of the moment" things the kids and I went out to Blue Springs state park. I've driven past the signs several times but never went in. So we went yesterday. It's very pretty. It's a state park around a natural spring that feeds into the St. Johns river. (The St. Johns is very neat too, ( Read more... )

Down here visting acaciah
Found some lovely Sappho poem/songs so I thought I'd put them here...

In Homage

Stars round the fair moon
  veil their own shining
When she's full on the earth
 With the light of her silver

Winged Words

Winged words
Words made of air
   I begin
But words good to hear

This Is A Promis

I'll sing these songs

wow, migraines and firework shows do not mix. It's one of those "what the hell was I thinking?" things....the kids wanted to go to the local firework show, my head has been hurting all day...I knew it would be bad, I just hate to have my headaches keep me from doing things like this. So I go anyways. At least the kids enjoyed it. I'm going to take ( Read more... )

Wow this whole week has just sucked. I'm almost afraid of what tommorrow will bring. This week: I have been stood up twice by so called friends who just had to meet me. One of my favorite writers died. I now have strep throat, the AC in my car died, and my sister was nearly attacked by a wolf in her back yard. But at least my sister is ok, and is ( Read more... )

I know it's been a while since I've written. I've been busy looking for a summer job. (of course I've been busy with other things, but that's been the most important). But no one wants to hire me. Two main reasons seem to keep me from gainful employment. 1) the inability to work nights and weekends--it seems like everyone who is hiring now wants ( Read more... )

Not much going on, I don't really want to go out and do anything since I'm sure most places will be crowded due to the holiday weekend. Latter today we're going over to my mother-in-laws for a cook-out.

I did go out the other day to a lovely little park called Gemini Springs that is just down the road from here. Lots of wildlife--we saw tons of ( Read more... )

Today was the last day of school for the little heathens, aka Josh and Josie. To celebrate we went down the the sea shore, I even managed to drag my hubby away from his computer to come with us!!! Took the camera and got pictures of the Turtlemound archaeological site! Also got more pics of the beach and stuff.....Also found out a rather ( Read more... )
