Southern Haunting
A change is in the air. I can feel it and when I look around the neighborhood, I can see it. Something is afoot here! The world is metamorphosing even as I live and breath. I’m not sure what is going on but it is really scary around here. Could it be? I think it…

Southern Red October
In between the frequently rainy days, we have had some nice ones. Everything is really starting to take color. A beautiful red October. Then there is this: These are growing all over the place. They are the weeds whose young leaves are used in poke salat (salad). The berries are gobbled up by the birds,…

Southern Natural Beauty
I feel so blessed to live in such a beautiful place. Here a few random pictures that I have taken. Pictures can never do justice to God’s beauty. These pictures show what my daddy called, “God struttin’ His stuff!” That is how summer goes around here. Check out Outdoor Wednesday with Susan at A Southern…

Southern Outdoor Wednesday
It is Outdoor Wednesday at our friend A Southern Daydreamer’s blog. Here is our entry in the post. These are pics from where I used to live. Spring in the Ozarks. I loved living in that house. The view was great and the sunrises were greater! Today’s Lagniappe: Pasta Primavera 12 ounces pasta, bowtie noodles…

Southern Spring Showers . . .
Yesterday, I wrote about how I enjoy being outside. After I wrote that post, I watched the news. Again, I was so grateful for the beauty of nature. The news was all about the swine flu. I looked out my window at the Spring rain (okay, sometimes storm), and everything was put back in perspective.…

Southern Dove
I was snapping some pics this morning and happened to notice this dove. I have doves living near by that visit my bird feeders. I love how the treat me to their soothing coos at the end of the day. When I fill my bird feeder, I always sprinkle some extra seed on the ground…

Southern Holy Week
Early this year, I wrote a post about my 2009 predictions. One of them was that with the economic down-turn, people would get back to basics. This week is a good opportunity to do just that by enjoying the beauty of Easter. Just this past weekend, our city held an Easter egg hunt in the…

Southern Storms
It is storm season in the South again. We had a nice one come through yesterday. A lot of rain and wind with a little thunder and lightening thrown in. It wasn’t too bad. When I was a little girl, I was terrified of storms. I would get sick whenever the tornado sirens went off.…

Southern Lady Bug
Yesterday, after working at my computer all day, I finally got myself out to the back porch to read a little. I saw my first lady bug of the season. This was a little bitty one. The poor thing was crawling around on my table and kept getting itself turned upside down. Then it would…

Southern Spring!!!
It’s finally here – the 1st day of Spring. Okay, the weather has already been nice for a while but now it is official. I’ve got on my robin’s egg blue jacket and I’m ready. A lot of people have more energy when the weather is colder but give me a warm spring day and…

Southern Sunshine and Mobile, Alabama
Hooray! Daylight Saving Time starts this weekend. I don’t mind the dark mornings for a few weeks. Of course, I love it in June when you start hearing the birds singing around 5 a.m. and the days are looong. I love sitting on my porch long into the evening. In the Summer, I even brave…

Southern Spring Fever
15 Days to Spring! If you’ve been reading this blog this week, you know I have it – Spring Fever. Spring fever has appeared in love poems, stories and medical literature. There have even scientific studies to try to define it and it’s symptoms. Personally, I don’t need a scientific study. I know the signs…
