I got off work early enough on Saturday to take a walk at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens. Not too surprisingly, the gardens were fairly empty. The temperatures have dropped considerably and the wind had a bite to it. I hadn’t intended to wear my winter coat to walk, but did so as I’d left my…
Apparently I didn’t get enough of the fall colors from earlier this week. Yesterday I went both to our local park and the botanical gardens. The trees are a riot of colors in central Virginia and although the air was cool, I had a great time walking all morning and taking pictures. Word for tomorrow…
My favorite boy toy and I were out all day yesterday to take pictures. We hiked up and down hills and stairs, visited battlefields, and did some driving around the countryside. After a late supper, we went straight to bed, which is why there were no photos this morning for you. Today was a drive back the…

One funny thing about our yard is that we have two beagle trails through it. The other two dogs run wherever, but the beagle generally always follows the same path back and forth to the back door. I’ve shown one of them here, with a black line to show the trail. I’ve tried to photograph…
The weather unexpectedly turned cooler this week. It was so nice! Days were in the upper 70’s, evenings in the mid-50’s. It made for better sleeping and much nicer walks for my lunch. I was up early yesterday and spent a few minutes on the deck to pray and do my devotions. Secretly, I’d rather…
I was on vacation last week and did I ever have fun! I felt like I did it all – read a lot books, stayed home, went away, relaxed, and worked hard. I went back to work this week feeling refreshed and like I’d had a good break from it all. Here are some of…
When we moved to Richmond four years ago, I really had trouble adjusting to being here. The reasons were many, but my favorite boy toy felt that if we fixed up the backyard to make a place to sit and relax that I might be happier. He was right. One of the things we did…
