Silent Sunday



Thursday morning about 7:30 I drove over to Gwynn's Island because I could tell the sun and the clouds were intent on providing a spectacular show. They didn't disappoint me.

First I stopped at the Seabreeze and took several shots from the dock there before heading over to Commenter Breezeway's cottage, where I took the picture above.

This particular morning was unusually calm--there's almost always a breeze (if not gale force winds) blowing on the bay. The clouds couldn't decide whether they were going to linger or move on. Neither could I, because every time I told myself it was time to go I'd take a few steps towards the car, glance behind me, and see a whole new Something that needed to be photographed.

In unrelated news, deliberations are still underway for the winner of Friday's Name that Goose Contest. We've narrowed it down to two or three choices, and may I just go ahead and say to Middle Sis that Sammy Davis, Jr., is not a contender--although it was discussed at length at the dinner table last night.

May your Sunday be as tranquil as the scene above.

WOW! Such a fitting and perfect photo for Easter Sunday morning! It looks as the clouds are opening up to a bright light offering hope and life to a new day. This picture give me chills as I reflect this morning, in the quiet, about what this day means to me.

May everyone's day be a wonderful day with "New Hope". Enjoy your day and love your family.

Happy Easter to all!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Sunday. I am bracing for the start of my work week, which is always rough. Sunday nights are rather depressing, especially on the heels of such a pleasant weekend.

Also, a great big thanks to everyone who played the Goose Naming Contest....we still do not have a winner yet, although we've narrowed the choices down a bit. More details will be forthcoming tomorrow.

Have a great week.

OH CBW!

Had my first encounter with the zero turn mower tonight.

I think I'm in love.

It's a like a go-cart for adults.

A guilt-free, chore-accomplishing, go-cart.

In a wacky repeat of my first lesson on the cub cadet, I ran into the swing set. :) Other than that it was smooth sailing and love-at-first-drive.

I highly recommend it!

good night!
