Brrr!

This snow was a few years ago. I hope we don't get any this winter but ... one of the water mains on Edinburgh burst today. They fixed it but I freaked a bit when my toilet started burping. I thought I had some burst pipes or something. All's well now though. Whew.

Small Christmas

The little tree by my garage is so cute. I also put candles in the windows of the house. Christmas these days is more about the real meaning rather than the whole Santa thing. Isn't it true that times of our lives come and go. Sometimes our days are exciting. Sometimes our days are sad. Sometimes our days fill us with a warm contentment. Then that darn icy wind of life blows again!

Nature

Just a short drive south in Virginia Beach is scenic Back Bay. There are hidden vistas that come up while driving down country roads. It is so quiet, except for an occasional bird call. Nature truly is God's gift to us and it is magical.

The Power of One

This little flower is all by himself. Some may think he's lonely but actually he is happy to be quiet and enjoy the world around him. Occasionally someone walks by and says "What a lovely flower!"  but all he knows is that he's being the best flower he can be. When the roses are screaming and the big bouquet is, well, big, I think of the little flower that makes me smile as I walk by. Not everyone can, or wants to be, part of a noisy bouquet.

The Power of One

There are millions of blueberries in the world. Is there any one that is better than this one? This blueberry is wonderful just because it is here. No other blueberry is more or less wonderful than this one. It will always be wonderful and nothing can change its wonderfulness. There are millions of people in the world.... you are one of them.
