This afternoon here in Savannah …

Whew!

This afternoon here in Savannah …

3:00 — Real Feel — 97

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Evening walk along the Savannah River near us.


2. Kitty cat Benny’s peaceful head on me as we afternoon nap.

3. Retirement and its nap-ability schedule.
4. The hearty, comforting and delicious joy of a traditional egg, bacon, hash brown and sourdough toast breakfast.


5. Purple.





May you have a colorful weekend ahead.
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Glorious early morning sunlight on grass.

2. Beginning to see a few (emphasis on “few”) early indications of Approaching Autumn here in Savannah.

3. The simply amazing Ability to Walk! What a blessing. The next time you walk today (if you can), shout (or think loudly), “Look at me! I am WALKING!”
4. The beautiful opposite of Happy Bringer #1 above …

… evening sunset.


5. Watermelon with a mouth.


Happy Weekend!
I’m marveling this Monday morn, reliving Robert’s and my delightful hiking adventure at nearby J. F. Gregory Park down in nearby Richmond Hill GA.






And a little picnic in the park …

I hope you have something to marvel about this Monday.
September is here! And I am marveling this morning because it was 66° (!) when Robert and I headed out to one of our favorite coffee shops, Flora and Fauna. I actually wore a jacket! (I had to look around a bit for it.)

Happy September First!
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Fresh South Georgia Bi-color Corn.

Or as I call it, Bisexual Corn.
2. My new, neat little sitting and reading area in our bedroom. Robert put up the shelves next to my chair.

Now he can watch his superhero movies and shows in the living room, and I can read, quietly, in the bedroom.

It probably doesn’t look like much to you, but these couple of square feet are my own little nest to settle, relax, breathe and read.
3. The incredible ability to make plans. To prepare. To dream. To think ahead.
4. Incredible truth, which I often don’t pause to remember.



We were walking through Hobby lobby the other day, when Robert said, “Neal pick up these, hold them. Let me take a few pictures of your truth.”
5. A very inappropriate, but humorous and truthful candle I saw on my older daughter Amy’s bedside table recently.


May you enjoy some inappropriate humor this weekend!
We’re doggie-sitting for Daughter Amy. Here’s Coastal leaning on Robert’s faded pinkish Smirnoff t-shirt this morn at coffee time.


I’m celebrating World Photography Day (August 19) today with a few of my Savannah-area photos.







On my Monday morning walk today, I came upon a bit of a surprise: PINK AZALEAS (Savannah’s Springtime Sensation) contrarily blooming in the Heated Heart of August.


Good for them – and their rebellious nature.

I started to walk away, but then turned and asked them why on earth they were blooming NOW.
Their answer:
