Each day, I continue to be amazed at the incredible, diverse joy of Plant Life.
This post could go on and on, but I’ll end with perhaps The Joy of My Life, the southern Longleaf Pine …
Here’s to Plants!
1. Our cast iron Dutch Oven bottom round roast dinner last night. Whew. That’s a mouthful. Literally.
With carrots, potatoes, onions, mushrooms, fresh thyme and fresh rosemary.
2. The young mother and her one-month old baby who were next to us at the Atlanta Pride Parade last Sunday.
Joyful Love
3. The front door of our old 1870’s home.
4. Knowing, truly knowing, that every breath we breathe is a precious gift to savor and appreciate.
5. HR matching with his food.
May you match up with a fun and healthy weekend ahead!
As you might have seen, Angela Lansbury passed away today at age 96.
My Great Friend and Former-Wife Donna and I really loved her. We used to watch her every Sunday night in “Murder She Wrote.”
And, of course, she was the voice of Mrs. Potts in “Beauty and the Beast.”
Grandson Daniel played the part of Chip in the Savannah Children Theatre’s production of “Beauty and the Beast” a few years back.
And here is Angela in the 25th anniversary of Disney’s production of “Beauty and the Beast.”
Joy. Joy.
We saw this interestingly dressed fella at Atlanta Pride over the weekend …
Remember the jacket? Melania’s?
It’s probably better to care.
So Robert and I are in Atlanta this weekend for Pride. You may (or may not) know that the traditional month for Pride celebrations is June. But not in the deep South. It’s too hot! And some of our Pride might melt. October works better.
We’re staying at a very cool Airbnb near Piedmont Park where the festival is held.
We get our steps in climbing up to our suite …
And we have our very own little morning coffee spot …
Like-minded folks here.
Today, Saturday, is the Pride festival. (Tomorrow is the parade.)
Such loving, accepting and inclusive fun.
HAPPY OCTOBER PRIDE, Y’ALL!
1. Having a bed. To lay my head on every night. What a blessing. And to share with my Robert.
The little black bedside lamp was a birthday gift to me from my parents when I was in junior high.
2. Memories—the beautiful as well as the not-so-pretty. They are all a part of our legacy of life.
3. The unique scent of pine.
4. Low country boil for lunch this week.
5. The many faces of pruning.
See them?
Morning walk around Lake Mayer here in Savannah.
May you catch glimpses of beauty this weekend.
I hope you’re having a good Last Day of Summer 2022.
On our morning walk in the mall today (with all the other “it’s-too-hot-to-walk-outside” old folks), HR and I came across this t-shirt in the window of one shop. Robert immediately suggested it for T-shirt Tuesday.
I didn’t quite get it at first. It just looked like an expensive Nike t-shirt.
But there was something about the first photo I took (capturing some neat reflections from behind) that exuded a bit of otherworldliness.
So I looked closer.
And closer.
Mentally removing the “Nike,” I appreciated the truthfulness of the quirky artwork.
Thanks for stopping by. I’m glad we are connected.
Life finds a way.
