This Moment #3
{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) . Inspired by SouleMama and passed on to me by CoffeeShop Free Actions….why not leave your moment there as well.

Down On The Farm
I think I have mentioned my new rain barrel once or twice right? 🙂 Well the class to build this wonder was held at Bluebird Gap Farm in Hampton, Virginia. They had some every day farm critters so after our rain barrel adventure, I took my camera and snapped a few. The white peacock, before showtime……. you saw the after, but just in case you missed it…. He, or she, calmly stepped off the stump….walked up to where I was standing and viola! And modeled, twirling several times before they let out this bizarre type call, folded the feathers back into place and walked back to the stump. Kind of surreal actually….but so glad…

Mary Belle
Mary Belle was born in rural Alabama. She married Martin and had seven children. She made the best cinnamon toast, biscuits and vegetable soup ever. She didn’t drive until very late in her life. She didn’t like riding over bridges ~ it was ironic because her husband built them. Once she got out of the car and walked over the bridge because she thought it wasn’t safe to ride over. During a conversation, she would whisper words she deemed inappropriate to say out loud. She loved her family and her faith. She didn’t like to have her picture taken. It has been said that I look just like her, since the day I was born.…

Well….now what?
Has this ever happened to you? I had a plan….I had a post……and then I didn’t. So I’m sitting here thinking….now what?

That Was Quick
Clouds were building all afternoon and into the evening….no rain as of yet. I stopped by the boat docks to get a couple of photos on my way home. I’m posting this at home this evening. The most amazing thing happened when I got up this morning. I thought I would check the phone line, you know ~ just in case by some off chance it was working again and low and behold, it was! The beautiful sound of dial tone burring in my ears. So I have to wonder ~ did Verizon fix the problem….or did it fix itself? The last I heard was June 3rd……no call to check to…

Outside My Window ~ 5.23.10
Outside My Window…is cloudy and humid. The air is so heavy right now ~ I’m expecting a downpour any second. We did get one earlier this afternoon….around noon there were rumbles of thunder and pouring rain. But not for long…one of those days. I am thinking…about the telephone call to Verizon this morning to report my telephone out of service. I have no dial tone and after checking the outside telephone plug, I have determined it is a problem on their end, not mine. You know how even though you have paid your bill, your first thought is ‘I’ve been disconnected”. 🙂 Not so…just dead, dead, dead. So I do…

Say It Isn’t So….
A possible subtropical system developing off the coast…say it isn’t so! I’m really not ready for the season to begin….not just yet please. It feels subtropical outside. I went outside this morning to do a few things and I can honestly say I was glad I didn’t have to work outside today….it was miserable. The air was quite thick and heavy all day and continues into this evening. The air is filled with the intoxicating scent of jasmine tonight. The bushes are in full bloom, their flowers are filling the night air. Thunderstorms are expected later tonight ~ hopefully not the crashing and exploding kind. I wouldn’t mind a little rumbling thunder with…

Spinning
I didn’t realize it was quite so late….11:00 now…5:30 comes early. I have experienced some head spinning today ~ it is puzzling. I think I will go to bed now and hope it goes away.

Wednesday Updates
Sunflower Update The Lemon Queen sunflower seeds are growing like weeds. While it is difficult to tell from this photo, they are maybe 4 inches tall and doing well. I haven’t been able to get a decent ground level image. Sadly, I don’t have a good progress report on the Chocolate sunflower seeds. There is what appears to be some activity in the area they were planted, but I can’t be sure yet. Kaniki Kaniki, Guardian of the Garden, was having a difficult time seeing….and he was feeling a bit claustrophobic. I could hear his heavy sighs each time I walked out in the backyard so I decided to move him to a new home…
