Welcome back home Allison. I flew to Oregon for my son’s 40th birthday. A fun adventure. I returned home grateful for my own bed. Always nice to be able to sit still and regroup. Enjoy. Love all your photos and how your plants are grouped in your yard.

It’s so nice to hear about the summer you’re sharing with John Henry. I love all the photos from the various places you’ve visited. I’m reminded of my favorite book “To Kill a Mockingbird” when I imagine some of the childhood adventures you may have had growing up in Alabama. Have a restful evening--there’s nothing like being at home in your own bed!

Welcome Home! On that note, I recommend “Under the Tuscan Sun”

I enjoy “Under The Tuscan Sun” but I enjoyed even more, “A Year In Provence” by Peter Mayle. There are many similarities but also differences. Inspired by the TV adaptation of the book, we headed for Provence in the summer of 2001 for are summer holiday and it was unfortunately an unmitigated disaster! For reasons too many to mention here!

The picture of the flag hits me deep in the feels. The deeply rooted principles the flag represents and sacred invocations it evokes - suspended and supported by the ‘wind beneath the wings of Great Spirit’ - are everything. The majesty and meaning, of all the things, is wholeheartedly embraced. Thank you for your Sacred Gifts. Grateful Sister. 🦅💜🤟🏼

Is the grocery store near where you grew up? I love you.

My grandparents lived about as far south in Georgia as where you grew up in Alabama. Some of those old stores still exit. Occasionally a tobacco barn still stands (almost). I really miss those days. Tobacco auctions. Rattlesnake stories, Baling cotton. Outhouses. All my kin. And everybody calls me Kinny. You do as well in the videos I bought. And just so you know hearing my name that way just floats my boat. Rock on sis

Hi Allison! I missed you!🩷

I love your green garden🌿🍃.. am curious what kind of plants you grow in pots. I have a very small space to grow,, so use a lot of pots myself … but they rarely thrive.

As a recently retired teacher, this time in August hits me too.

The ending of languid days, the preparing for bracing, invigorating fall.

Sending 💗
