exquisite wee bird
so stylish in grey & white
& elegant black

Hoosier Quote:
“The deeper I delve into natural science 
the easier it is to see that every created thing has its use…
and that upon nature keeping her own balance 
depend the security of the whole.”

Dear Nonnie, love your haiku and photos. That little chickadee is quite dapper in his stylish feathers! Dragonflies are my favorite of little creatures. I feel so lucky when they light upon my hands or knees, like your plants!

Lea, how lucky you are! I've never had dragonflies get that close to me. I was so happy that I happened to look out my window at just the right time and spot the chickadee!

I like how you took the prompt and used it for your own ends!

Gosh Nonnie I think my comment got lost so I'll try again. Pls delete if it shows up x2. I really like your haiku and chickadee (you know I'm a bird lover). Re your comment about nest, the purple is really brown in real life where it is drying out. I guess the camera did the purple. Or maybe that's a nature color not readily visible. I knew it was a cardinal nest because I almost cut it down last season with 2 babies in it. Momma C. was fussing and warning me so I looked further. Isnt Mother Nature grand? xo

Pondering about My Blog

I've been through quite a bit these past months that I haven't posted.  First, packing and moving and then unpacking . The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o
