Waiting for the Rain

to roll in. Been expecting it all day, but just cloudy skies. So bad forecasts are what weather people are paid for.

Crazy craziness in the world this week. Domestic battery (really attempted murder - but the police don't want to call it that) against my best friend's 88 year old mother-in-law (by her son). What happened to this nice girl from the midwest who married into a nice family? Boy, sometimes life is just looney or the people in it are. We're not really bred to deal with this type of stuff.

Just another random Wednesday

Funny how life turns out.

An early Spring day. Windy, cloudy with a touch of humidity. The flowers are popping up, the trees have that hazy shadow of new buds and the birds are coming back in abundance. Our first yellow Finch happily ate at our feeder yesterday morning.

Sometimes life just happens. The cold gray is swept away and Mother Nature peeks back out brightening our lives.

the search for seashells



The endless search for seashells on Sanibel Island. One of Mother Nature's greatest resources for shell seekers. Many coveted varieties.

No greater satisfaction today than having the tide roll out and finding a beautiful shell just laying on the beach...
