This Moment #10
{this moment} A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you’re inspired to do the same, leave a link to your ‘moment’ in the comments for all to find and see. (copyright SouleMama 2010) .

Vogue
I was looking for a blank CD for my daughter this evening when I ran across this image on one. Look at me….all fancy in my little dress and shoes. And how about that pose! 🙂

Why I Love My Rain Barrel
My name is Debbie ~ and I’m a sucker for suffering, drought stricken plants. I had made a decision last night after yet another afternoon of watching the Weather Channel and witnessing the big, green blog which typically indicates rain on the weather map disintegrate as soon as it got to my area. Yet another afternoon of no rain. I discovered this past weekend that we are in the grips of a moderate drought but they assured us that would be relieved to a degree after a Saturday of soaking rains. Well, the soaking rains went everywhere but here. We barely got a shower. So I made a decision….I had to let…

Like A Flower
Life is sometimes like a flower. Take my hibiscus plant for instance…. I start out my day….. fresh….ready….looking good. And then I get home from work…… ….and I’m feeling a bit tired and wilted. Fortunately I don’t wither completely away. 🙂 How do you feel at the end of your day? Many thanks to I Brake For Bokeh for ‘When The Hurley Burley’s Done’ Lightroom Preset.

Bumbly Bees & Sunflowers
I love sunflowers. I love watching them as they grow from alien looking buds to big, beautiful yellow flowers. I baby them as they grow….keeping the area around the roots weed free….making sure they have enough water. Our drought has been hard on them this year but they seem to be doing alright. Maybe not as large as last year, but doing well all the same. This is my second year growing sunflowers. Last year I discovered The Great Sunflower Project. A project led by Gretchen LeBuhn, an associate professor at San Francisco State University, they are looking at bee populations. From their site ~ What scientists had not studied on a large…

Outside My Window ~ 7.11.10
Outside My Window…is 85ºF with partly cloudy skies. Our forecast high today is 91º and sunshine. Right now it looks as if some dark clouds are trying to form over the neighborhood…enough to block out the sun at the moment. Personally, I wouldn’t care if it rained all day long….nice, steady shower….thoroughly soaking the ground….all day. We got a small amount of rain yesterday ~ not enough to perk up my vinca plants in the front garden….not enough to save my mint plant. It is toast I fear. My tomato plants while not yet dead seem to have suffered from the intense heat and humidity we had for so many days. …

Some of My Favorites
I may have mentioned a time or two that I went to the beach for a couple of days not too long ago. 🙂 You saw the house we stayed at and besides those, I took many other photos while there. A good deal of them were of the family and the kids that came down. I have been working on those photos most of the day…picking out the best ones so I can burn a disk for my brother’s family. While I’m taking a break from that…I thought I would show you a few of my favorites from the trip. My daughter (left) and her best friend.

Here Comes the Sun
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun And I say it’s all right Little darling, it’s been a long cold lonely winter Little darling, it feels like years since it’s been here Here comes the sun, here comes the sun And I say it’s all right Little darling, the smiles returning to their faces Little darling, it seems like it’s years since it’s been here Here comes the sun, here comes the sun And I say it’s all right ~ George Harrison
