“Reflecting”

“Reflecting”

I have shared this little virtual Christmas card on my blog before (I received it from a dear sweet friend several years ago), but it is just so very meditatively “Christmas Eve Simple Peaceful” that I thought I would post it again.
Bethlehem‘s in sight!

As I walked through Warren Square here in Savannah this morning, these striking yellow blooms stopped me with their glorious December beauty.


“Farfugium japonicum is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteracee, also known as leopard plant, green leopard plant or tractor seat plant.” Wikipedia

Their big green leaves actually do look a bit like tractor seats!



My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1.My fragrantly delicious holiday roasted rosemary nuts.


2. Granddaughter Isabelle, aka Santa’s Little Helper.

3. The gift of Appreciation.
4. Pink camellias saying hello from behind a downtown Savannah garden wall near us.


5. A couple of HR’s dangling Christmas pins.


May you have a Merry Weekend-Before-Christmas ahead!

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. This old tree we saw near us on a Thanksgiving morning walk in Savannah’s Colonial Park Cemetery.

Do you see what I see on his trunk?

In the lower half, there’s a Big Bunny with gigantic upward ears!
And if you forget the bunny and look again at the entire trunk, there’s a Brown Monster with a three-pronged crown, green tongue and menacingly raised arms! Watch out!

2. On the other hand, here’s a quartet of happily handsome fellows: son-in-law Scott and three grandsons Jack, Gabriel and Daniel searching for the perfect Christmas tree.

3. A bountiful Thanksgiving Feast yesterday.






4. Moments in life when you feel JOY.
5. And finally, I’m happily thankful for HR.

May you have a BIG weekend ahead!
