    Soaring

    Shaking off the negativity and clearing out the cobwebs of doubt.  I’m ready for a new week, a new month…I have gone through a wide range of emotions since Tuesday.  I’m soaring towards something different, something new…..and I’m feeling really good about it.  🙂

    Bull

    During my walk through Colonial Williamsburg on Tuesday, I came upon this guy.  I was actually taking some photographs a little way down the street from him.  It seemed as soon as he saw me, he began to mooooooo again and again…..or is it considered mooing if it is a bull?  Anyway, on and on he went until I crossed the street and walked up closer.  Then he stopped….I almost got the impression he wanted me to pet him. I know these animals are exposed to a lot of people on a daily basis.  There are tourists here year round…..but I wasn’t so comfortable with the idea of getting my…

    Little House

    I took a walk around Colonial Williamsburg yesterday during my lunch hour….trying to come to grips with the email I had received.  I brought my camera with me and took a few photos while I was out.  Colonial Williamsburg has many of these restored homes through out the area…..some are guest houses, some are private residences.  The residences are posted as private but I wonder how often a tourist tries to get in to have a look see.   I have seen some try before…jiggling the door knobs or knocking. I really like these little houses.  I often thought it would be really cool to live in one….except there are a lot of restrictions. …

    Deception

    Deception = misrepresentation: a misleading falsehood I discovered today that someone I was very close to….a friend for many, many years….had been misleading me about several things this past year or more.  An individual I trusted without hesitation….someone I thought was one of the most sincerest of people, honest through and through.  I would have never, ever expected this person to lie to me….to mislead me.  They were my confidant…my rock. As a result of this deception, I have spoken and thought badly of another individual…someone who was undeserving I’m sure.  My friend revealed this deception in an email today…..said we can no longer communicate…goodbye….good luck….the end.    An almost 30 year friendship….over. …

    Dinner and a Movie

    Tonight I wasn’t up for cooking so we all decided on pizza.  We also thought it would be a great night to watch a movie I picked up not too long ago.  If you like psychological thrillers ~ you need to check out “The Uninvited”.

    Outside My Window ~ 2.21.10

    Outside My Window…is blue skies, sunshine and 38ºF.  And we have had a moisture free weekend…that makes two in a row.  Our forecast high is for 57ºF today.  Our next chance of rain is Monday afternoon and evening.  Our next chance of snow is Thursday with a forecast of a few snow showers.  But our high for that day is forecast in the 40ºF range, and because of the previous days of 50ºF plus weather, I doubt it will cause too many problems.  I believe we are getting a little late in the season for snow to impact us too much until spring.  That doesn’t mean we won’t get a…

    Memories

    I have spent the better part of the day transferring home movies from video tape to DVD’s…….watching my babies.   I am about a quarter of the way through the transfer process ~ and I’m loving the memories!  🙂

    I Miss Flowers

    This flower image is one I took with my point and shoot last May.  It is from my aunt’s amazing garden at her home in North Carolina.  It is much larger than my outstretched hand ~ and I have big hands!  I took some photos Wednesday afternoon with my new camera and wasn’t happy with any of the shots.   As I was trying to decide what I wanted to post,  I ran across this image and couldn’t help but think….I miss flowers.  I’m really looking forward to spring.
