No wonder you were thrilled to capture a picture of a blue butterfly. What a nice blogger friend. Your gift is so special.<br /><br />I am so glad you had the opportunity to witness the new hummingbirds learning to fly. I hope one day I can see something like that too.

Our summer has taken us on a tour of the circle of life: My mother with dementia continues to get worse and has presented me with more challenges than I can list here. On the other hand, we were thrilled to get the news that our son and his longtime girlfriend are engaged. Meanwhile, I've eased back into the fall blogging schedule too; have also written a few newspaper columns. I try to take things one day at a time and sniff the last of the roses in the garden before fall arrives.Things that make me happyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14108043873341343790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211916946754614168.post-13129677907506866262011-09-03T03:49:31.701-07:002011-09-03T03:49:31.701-07:00Forget War & Peace; you had your own version o...Forget War & Peace; you had your own version on your text msgs!!♥ Brajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07693196044262677095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211916946754614168.post-39078538993729261492011-09-02T05:18:29.559-07:002011-09-02T05:18:29.559-07:00Joanna, you can make even a crappy humid day sound...Joanna, you can make even a crappy humid day sound interesting. <br />I'm so happy that someone framed that photo for you, it's really beautiful.<br />That's some story about the hummingbirds, wow.<br />I think we might be the same age, I turn 53 this month.
