The wonder of trains
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009I went to Olbrich Botanical Gardens to check out their annual Holiday Express display. I found the look of wonder on most of the children’s faces the best thing about the exhibit.
Christmastime is here
Thursday, December 24th, 2009One of my favorite Christmas songs. I love the melancholy mood of it. Merry Christmas everyone!
Christmas time is here.
Happiness and cheer.
Fun for all that children call,
Their favorite time of the year.Snowflakes in the air.
Carols everywhere.
Olden times and ancient rhymes,
Of love and dreams to share.Sleigh bells in the air.
Beauty everywhere.
Yuletide by the fireside,
And joyful memories there.Christmas time is here.
We’ll be drawing near.
Oh, that we could always see,
Such spirit through the year…
Last nectar of the season
Friday, September 25th, 2009While I was shooting my stonecrop plant the other day, I wasn’t the only one interested in it. There were also a couple of bees collecting the last nectar of the season.
Stonecrop
Sunday, September 20th, 2009Back in July, I thought the perennial flowers blooming at my house were done. A couple of weeks ago the stonecrop began to flower.
Yellow lilies
Monday, July 6th, 2009The surprise perennials at my house just keep blooming. These lilies are about the last of the blooms for this year.
