Mimosa. Sparkling wine....orange juice....and....strawberries. During these long days of summer this sounds like a little slice of heaven. I know, I know... Wait, it's supposed to be champagne. No, there's triple sec. Is that a Buck's Fizz? Are you sure you have it right? I think mimosa sounds nicer whether there is triple sec, Grand [...]
Category: Musings From An Active Mind
This is Home
Bloom where you are planted. This is the thought that has been weaving its way in and out of my mind for the past week. Summertime makes me restless. People are in and out town. I am in and out of town. Routines are thrown out the window. It makes me miss home. And then [...]
Tuckahoe Mansion
One of my favorite places to visit when I return to Jensen Beach in Florida is Indian Riverside Park. It's a 63 acre park that is on the Indian River Lagoon. There are so many things to love about the park that today I will just focus on one of the spots that I like [...]
Treasures in a thrift store
Today I found an old typewriter at a thrift store. Let me back up. My DAUGHTER found an old typewriter at a thrift store today. I have been wanting to find a manual typewriter for some time. Not specifically hunting one down, but prepared to pick one up if I stumble upon one. Today, we [...]
I’ll meet You in the field
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase "each other" doesn't make any sense. -Rumi Let your light shine! Amy Save Save Save
Before Florida’s State of Emergency
You may or may not have seen that Florida has declared a State of Emergency for Martin and St. Lucie Counties. I've recently read that Lee and Palm Beach Counties have been added to that. Martin County is where I lived before moving to Virginia. I absolutely love it there. It is small and has [...]
Old Town-Kissimmee, Florida
It wasn't the first time, and it wouldn't be the last. This was one of my many, many thoughts when the road trip to Florida took many hours longer than I originally planned. But I made it there and now I've made it back home. Vacation! Ah....bliss! The first few days after returning home....not so [...]
Thursday Doors -Everglades City, FL
This week for Thursday Doors, I dug back through some old photos. I'm heading out for vacation tomorrow morning before the sun comes up. I'm supposed to be packing, but was looking in photo albums instead. I really wish I wasn't in the photo so there wasn't proof of how I dressed in the 90's. [...]
Purely Captivating
Very little grows on jagged rock. Be grounded. Be crumbled so wildflowers will come up where you are. -Rumi The weekly photo challenge this week is "Pure". The photo could convey wholesomeness, something undiluted, or simplicity. Since contentment and simplicity are two of my top endeavors this year, I knew that I'd be able to [...]
Thursday Doors -Greatness Enters Here
This week for Thursday Doors, I opted for a field house. These door lead to the locker rooms that are filled with students almost year round. Now that school is out, I took advantage of getting down to photograph them before they are once again bustling with children/young adults going in and out of them. [...]
