Recently, when Robert and I drove over to the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge, I fell in love with a series of very cool T-shirts featuring area animals and what we can learn from them. So I decided to feature one on each T-shirt Tuesday for a while.
Today … the Observant Owl.
A few of Robert’s owl photos …
Owl try to follow some of her advice. What about you?
Oh, and one last itsy bitsy owl also on Earth Day in Savannah …
Have you read it?
A blog category of pics I’ve taken of HR (Hubby Robert) and … well, just about anything.
Robert and … his foot with three cats.
See them?
Well, you may have to squint a bit for the third.
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Joyful Sunflowers from the Forsyth Farmers Market here in Savannah.
And when they started to bow down their heads oh so dramatically, I figured out another way to extend their life a bit.
2. At Barnes & Noble, HR holding up Kitty Corn from the book we bought granddaughter Isabelle for her fifth bday.
(We bought Kitty Corn too. She wanted to get out of retail.)
3. Short pants in the summer.
4. Spices and Herbs! What a blessing they add to our culinary lives.
5. Breathing in and breathing out.
May you have a spicy weekend ahead!
4th-ing
I hope you are enjoying a happy/healthy 4th of July today.
Here’s HR sending you a sparkling “Holiday Hello!” from both of us.

Today, the Colorful Cardinal …
A couple of pics HR took of cardinals.
Let’s try to follow at least some of the wise Cardinal’s advice.
Marveling at the Joy and Humor of accepting—even embracing—the truth that we are all Imperfect.
GIGGLE #1
So the other day I was in Kroger, minding my own business and heading down the refrigerated coffee creamer aisle toward the Nutpods. (TMI?) A slim pretty lady, dressed Lululemon-ishly in yoga pants and a cool form-fitting t-shirt flashing three big words, came barreling toward me, with phone in hand feverishly texting her husband to remind him of their luncheon date at the club. Okay, I made up that last part, but I am NOT making up what happened next.
Continuing her multitask walk/jog/text exercise routine, Fit Lady, with head down, slammed directly into me before I had the common sense to skulk* against the butter.
*skulk: “to get out of sight, typically with a cowardly motive.”
To her credit. Lulu, clearly embarrassed, profusely apologized, then made her way toward the organic, gluten-free, goat’s milk yogurt. Okay, I made up that last part again.
But I’m not making up the three words on the front of her T-shirt: “BE HERE NOW.”
GIGGLE #2
The other day, Robert and I sashayed into Whole Foods, he detouring just past the entrance to look at the flowers, while I glanced at the featured items front and center.
But before I tell you what I saw, let me remind you of part of the Whole Foods mission statement:
Here’s what I saw.
“Homemade whipped cream!” I gasped. “I bet that’s better than Cool Whip.”
Excited far beyond a normal range, I leaned in a little closer.
“Wait, what does that say in the fine print?” I asked myself with growing concern.
I hustled HR away from the sunflowers and hydrangea blooms, and we both stood there, giggling imperfectly in the front of “Whole” Foods.
