For goodies and treats

Mosaic Monday, Macro Monday




Bittersweet October.  The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter.  ~Carol Bishop Hipps

These two quotes have touched me today.  Especially as the month of October wanes.  For my garden is not going to pass easily into winter this year.  Even though it has been left to its own resources, without the weeding and pruning, it continues to thrive in all its beauty.   It's true for me that fall is indeed, that "perfect pause between" summer and winter.

Stylish Blogger




My friend, Esther, at Catholic Mom in Hawaii has generously gifted me with this award.  I have found awards like this one causes me to reflect on who I am and that's a good thing.  So here's what I must do.  I am to share 7 things about myself.  ant thin I must honor  5 other bloggers.  Again thank you Esther for thinking of me.

1.  I really wish I lived where the summer humidity is low.  This last summer here in Indiana was just miserable.  Some days the humidity was 90% and the temperature was in the 90's.  Oh, that trip to Montana and Colorado was a real blessing!

2.  I enjoy knitting and needle work, but sometimes there is just not enough time in the day. 

3.  I enjoy listening to Old Time radio programs.  My XM radio is a treasure.  I remember listening to the radio before we got the TV.  And even after that if there was a radio program the Folks enjoyed listening to the TV was not turned on.  We didn't have a radio or TV in every room of the house so the living room was the place to be.

4.  I love being a grandmother, but if you read my blog you already know that, huh?

5.  I've been married for 43+ years and find my best friend and I still enjoy doing all sorts of things together, especially traveling.

6.  I graduated from college at 48 with a degree in gerontology.  To which my afore mentioned BEST FRIEND said, "You'll be in the forefront of your field."

7.  Finally, I feel myself blessed to have learned a long time ago that the grass is not always greener on the other side, and have tried to Bloom Where I've Been Planted.

Thanks be to God!!!

Mosaic Monday~Macro Monday




Gifted young lady
She dances and sings with joy
She's MY granddaughter!







This is not a picture that has been altered!  The tree really is growing out the  clock tower of the Greensburg, IN courthouse.  If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it!  Wishing all a wonderful week!
