Shhh … Silent Sunday. 6/23/24



And at home …


My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Attending The Annual Memorial Day Garden Party at friends Pat and Mary Prokops’s lovely Savannah home. Pat is retired now but was a longtime popular meteorologist on a local Savannah station.








2. Driving up to Atlanta for a Braves game.

And getting famous ….


3. The blessing/luxury of having a car. Everybody doesn’t.
4. Fresh vegetables from our favorite Savannah produce stand.

5. Good advice for National Mental Health Awareness month.

May you have a Wonderfully Healthy Weekend ahead!
MARVELING!
The incredibly aromatic blossoms of Jasmine are beginning to say their goodbyes here in historic district Savannah.

I will miss them sorely, although their stalwart greenery will stay to keep guard.
Awakening me from my sadness and reminding me that all is not forlorn, along comes Hydrangea, seemingly popping up everywhere I walk, especially this cool Monday morning.









One of the joys of living in downtown historic district Savannah is that the walks NEVER get old. And are ongoingly (Is that a word?) beautiful.
The other day, Robert had a chiropractor appointment nearby, so I went with him, but then took the opportunity to walk around that particular little neighborhood.
Here’s a sampling of what I saw.




My favorite house I came across:


And look at its side yard!


And here’s a little place, still with a bit of character.






Okay, HR’s finished. Gotta go.



This morning we picked up breakfast sandwiches and coffee and headed over to Savannah’s beautiful Bonaventure Cemetery for a forenoon (Isn’t that a cool word?) picnic.
Walking afterwards, we came across her …


“What’s going on here?” I quietly asked.
(I had to repeat my question several times before she answered me.)

I had to lean in to hear her.
“Angeling is hard work.”
I simply nodded and motioned for Robert to soundlessly move along.


My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
I have been a bit lax with blog posts for a week or so. Dealing with a few issues.
But here are some Happy Bringers (a day late) :
1. This beautiful old, OLD live oak tree near us here in Historic District Savannah. It may be gnarled and off-balance a bit (hmmm, so am I), but it is magnificent in its glorious longevity.


2. HR, with his shiny pate, working on our sidewalk plants.


3. My Cold Scallop Salad for dinner tonight.


4. Placing one foot in front of the other in life.

5. Realizing that sometimes we have to get closer to see simple and natural beauty.



May you see some beauty this weekend!
Marveling!
One of the joys of warmer weather here in Savannah is the advent of the Spring Onion.

I love them!


“Picnic”

Today, Robert, ex-wife Donna and I had a lovely picnic along the banks of the beautiful Wilmington River here in Savannah.
