Winter Morning Stroll

Winter’s Chill here in Savannah (28 the other night — COLD FOR US!) can’t hold back downtown’s blooming colors.

Columbia Square

Winter azaleas

Reynolds Square

And the delightful winter yellow blooms of the Tractor Seat plant (Farfugium japonicum)

And don’t forget the camellias.

Robert, look what I found on the ground!

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” …

Eastern Wharf is the lower right quadrant of this photo.

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.

Five Friday Happy Bringers 11/22/24

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. A young HR’s new photo frame I recently found.

2. An overflowing citrus tree near us here in downtown Savannah.

3. My Arthritis Pain. Okay, that needs explanation. I’m Happy that I have a body. A body including wrists, knees and a lower back, all with the ability to FEEl.

Does that make any sense at all?

4. A wonderful gathering at our church Wednesday evening to help process and manage anxiety that some of us are feeling concerning the election.

5. A bookish bench we saw recently along the Augusta GA Riverwalk.

May you find a place to sit joyfully this weekend.
