Sunrise

 My neighbor and I decided to go to a sunrise service at WB on Easter. Anticipating parking challenges, we left early. Good thing. We got there in plenty of time to see the literal crack of dawn turn into a ball of yellow rising to light the new day. Here is me, iPhone camera in hand. An all around wonderful experience.

 

The Most Beautiful Week of the Year

That’s what the second week of April is considered, and now it’s over. I love all the shades of green that the earth is blessed with in early spring. A few weeks later, the scraggly azaleas become filled with beautiful shades of pink. Now their beauty is fading, and azalea season will soon be over. I am happy to be in Wilmington, and I really am at home here. 

In 2014, I became highly involved with the art scene here that eventually led to the invitation to open an art gallery. After that closed, when the three year contract ended, I drifted away from art. Deliberately. Art is an interest, but not my biggest interest. There is more to life! Two neighbors have led me back to gardening, so I’ve been enjoying that the past few weeks. I remember a lot from Greenville when I spent so much time in my backyard. 

All in all, I am a happy girl and enjoy whatever I am doing. I remember that line from A Child’s Garden of Verses: The world is so full of a number of things, I’m sure we should all be as happy as kings.

November

It’s been over a year since I drove around the neighborhood of my childhood. Funny how it is all there today. The red brick school, now partly demolished, was close to a mile from my home. I traced the steps in my car remembering how it felt walking all the way to and from when in first and second grades. The meandering lake is rife with nostalgia and was in its fall glory today. Such rich bright colors around noon. My daddy would be glad to know I was there and took a picture. I wonder what he’d think of iPhones. 

I Love Trees

 I love tees and have so many pix of them. I found these in my computer this evening. 

The World Has Changed

 Since Charlie Kirk was assassinated last week, the US, and I think the planet, is giving off a new vibe. 

Some of it is dark and demonic, and some is straight from the Eternal God who knows the hearts of all of us. Men are rising to their strengths and their God given roles. Christians are getting bolder. Those unfortunate people on the left whose minds have been shaped by the godless spellbinding media, social and otherwise, are doubling down in their delusions. 

Here is a picture that really spoke to me. An Englishman climbed to the top of this huge lion statue and waved the British flag and a big wooden cross. Men who were there for him were underneath with flags looking up. What a brave man. There are many ways to fight for truth. 

Roseate Spoonbills

 Lucky me. I got to see some today along the SC coast.
