My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Attending friends Pat and Mary’s annual Backyard Garden Party.












2. Making homemade vegetable broth from (organic) veggie scraps.


3. Our incredible bodies which accompany us on this earthly trek. And are always trying to move us toward wellness. Thank you, Body!
4. HR’s sautéed shrimp salad.

5. Granddaughters Madison and Isabelle starting the local library’s summer reading program.


May your weekend ahead lead you to beauty of some kind.

“Revival”



I’m Thankful to live in Savannah’s National Historic Landmark District, where daily walks never fail to reveal yet another source of marvel-worthy beauty.
As I’ve said before, HR and I live off Washington Square, the northeastern most of our 22 extant squares. It’s the tiny green one in the upper righthand corner on the map below. Across from the Savannah River.

The historic district is a walker’s dream, with surprises hidden down tiny lanes and in secret gardens.
Here a few sightings from our midday walk.









And a bit of gratitude and love to Jimmy Carter …


Thankful & Peaceful Saturday to you all.
P.S. I even thought some “weeds” were pretty, perched proudly at the curb, their dynamic green exuding roadside royalty.

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Picking strawberries yesterday at Franklin Farm up the road from us in Statesboro (GA).



2. HR and an albino alligator.


3. The ability to add and subtract. Thank you, elementary school teachers.
4. Sandy pine cones on south Georgia trails.


5. A few pretties on our Friday morning walk here in Historic District Savannah.






May your weekend produce a garden of joy.
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Pretty purple blossoming in Savannah squares.


2. Courageous lawmakers who will heed the will of the people in our democracy.

May other states follow Washington’s lead.
3. Metal man hiding in the bushes near us.


4. Our incredible skin which envelopes our bodies and protects us so spectacularly.
5. Packing up our little gay gray car for a weekend trek down to Seminole State Park and the SAM Railroad to Plains, GA.


May your weekend be packed with good!
“Strong”


Our hallway Christmas Cactus (Schlumbergera), all green just days ago, Suddenly Surprising us with springtime blooms.

So … Merry Christmas, I guess.


Walking along the Savannah River near us, Robert and I came upon this stretch of “weeds” pushing, rising, bursting forth with colorful, flowering life through man’s concrete and bricks.
