Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 2/10/25
Marveling this morning, remembering our beautiful visit to the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens in Jacksonville, FL last Friday.
It is one of our favorite art museums anywhere, but this time, because the weather was so beautiful, we decided to simply hang out in the gardens.
Robert and a BIG oak tree …
Me, pausing by a reflection pool …
HR too …
The gardens make up the “backyard” of the museum, along the mighty St. John’s River, with downtown in the distance.
MARVELOUS!
I think it’s important, perhaps now more than ever, that we finds things that cause us to pause and marvel.
Left Behind
It’s hard to believe that a week ago Savannah was COVERED in snow and ice.
Quite the rarity.
But it’s 70° now, and I just finished a delightful afternoon walk.
But as I was traversing a particularly shady area, LO AND BEHOLD, look what I saw!
A gigantic Snow Frog leaping from the Monkey Grass onto the sidewalk directly in front of me.
I started to question his pedestrian sensibilities, but then decided against it.
I wanted to give him a little more precious time to get to wherever he was going.

“Snow-vannah!”
Outside our place in Historic District Savannah early this morn …
And at Daughter Amy’s over on Moon River …
And finally, over at the beach on Tybee Island …
Do I need to mention that snow is EXTREMELY rare in Savannah?
Winter Morning Stroll
Winter’s Chill here in Savannah (28 the other night — COLD FOR US!) can’t hold back downtown’s blooming colors.
May you find pretty sometime today.
Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 12/30/24 “Big Foot”
Marveling this Monday Morning at … life.
Robert and I are up in Baltimore for his dear Aunt Pat’s funeral.
We are staying at a lovely old Airbnb in the Fells Point community at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor (our favorite area of the city).
On a walk yesterday afternoon, Mother Nature reminded me of her incredible strength and resiliency.
Surrounded by all of man’s “built-ness,” one of her daughters stands strong …
… her foot firmly planted in the ground.
Alive.
Tractor Seat!
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!
Seriously? Seriously!
So early this evening, Robert and I went for a walk along the Savannah River a few blocks from our place.
There’s a fairly new development along this evening’s trek, “Eastern Wharf” …
Their advertising is obviously meant for “non-early-evening casual walkers” …
Seriously?
The only thing I saw that was worth $3 Mil to $9 Mil was the Stunning Sunset …
Seriously!
May you have a joyful million dollar view soon.
