It always knows ….
… the sweet scent of Magnolia in bloom.
I was walking through Foster’s Botanical Garden and came to a convergence of paths. Which way to go? I studied the beginning of each trail for clues of what wonders might be. The paths are winding and one did not look more promising than another. [...]

It’s late and I’m tired. Today was a very busy day (it’s still Wednesday here for a few more minutes) and I’m tired. I was up early and off to a job interview. The interview, complete with skills tests, took a couple of hours. I was hired. Yay! (I won’t be teaching. More about that, [...]

Shelly, from This Old Farm, gifted me with a Super Commenter Award. I do believe that is her polite way of saying I never shut up. I’d like to pass this award on to the folks who are always yapping around here — that’s those of you who rarely miss commenting on [...]

I taught Sunday School today to the little kids. It was my first time with them, but most of them know me as, “the lady with the trumpet player”. They were thrilled to learn I have a real name, and I’m a nice person.

I liked my last template, but it just wasn’t roomy enough. In the left hand column of this template you will find two RSS feeds. One which shows a current excerpt from O’Ceallaigh and The Quill (those of you who read part one of OC’s learning to ride a bike will be glad [...]

Jules, of Jules Stones, says I am brilliant. [preens]
Hey! I heard that! Who’s snickering?
I can prove I’m brilliant.
Me: Brilliant
See? Told you so. Pft. I took this self-portrait in front of the mirror and the truth was revealed in a blinding flash. I am brilliant. So there.

You’re not going to believe this, but it is raining mangoes! The lawn people came and cleaned the yard, piling all the good mangoes here and tossing the bruised and battered ones away.
