April 1st 2025

 Happy April! As usual, I am posting my calendar on the first day of the month.

Let my teaching fall like rain
    and my words descend like dew,
like showers on new grass,
    like abundant rain on tender plants.

Sunday Sunset - Squiggles & Lines

 I snapped these just a few days ago.

The Spinning Wheels

 We saw this car with lights in unusual places. It was beside us at a stop sign.

There were lights inside the wheels. The lights were spinning around and around and changing colors!!

As long as the world is turning and spinning, we're gonna be dizzy and we're gonna make mistakes.

Marbled

 Sitting in front of the grocery store, I marveled at how beautiful the marbled effect of their sign was.

Isn't it pretty? But wait! The sign is really just plain red letters.

The marbled look is really the reflection of all the bare trees across the parking lot!

I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.

P.S. Thank you all for identifying the tree as Star Magnolia! And also teaching me how I can right click to get an I.D.!!

Yet Another Mystery

 To all of you who identified my mystery flowers; thank you so much! Hellebore is a new flower for me! And now I have another mystery. It is a tree that was just planted at the house on the corner. I have not seen one like it. Any clue what it is?

“The beauty of white flowers lies not only in their delicate petals but also in their ability to bring calm and serenity to our souls.”

Mystery Flowers.

 I hope someone knows what these flowers are, because I don't have a clue! They are in the front yard of a house on the end of the block. I have never seen flowers like these.

Flowers are restful to look at. They have neither emotions nor conflicts.

CVS Receipts

 How many of you get your drugs at C.V.S.? Have you noticed how long their receipts are? The check out people have to fold them many times and staple them. All of these receipts are for only ONE item!!!

How far is it from the Earth to the sun?

Never guess your wife's size. Just buy anything marked petite and hold on to the receipt.

House Of Bulbs

 I usually post this house every spring. They are a couple blocks away. They have no grass in their yard, only bulbs that bloom in the spring.

They also have a few Hyacinths coming up.

Amaryllis today, what a surprise!

And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

 

Ta-Daaa!

 I believe the amaryllis is at it's fullest bloom now. It was day number 7.

It is supposed to get other blooms, and last between 4 to 8 weeks.

“The amaryllis teaches us that true beauty comes from within, radiating outward for all to see.”

Day 6 - Almost There

 The Amaryllis is almost totally open!

 “The amaryllis teaches us patience as we wait for its graceful flower to unfold.”
