Turtles Climbing Trees

     Never a dull moment in My Corner of the Globe

Happy Birthday, Jim.

                     Best Dad, ever.

The Loch Williams Heron

     OK, it's really a pond - but the great blue heron 
     is very comfortable here.

     He (she?) is magnificent, with a huge 
     wingspan when taking off in flight.

Dainty

               Sweet little bloom

                    Growing wild near the lake

                                                      - but, what is it??

Still waters

I don't know why...

     ...but NPR sounds better on this 'new' Old Time Radio.

Love these cool summer mornings

Working on an article for the Midwood Press
Still... warm enough for the tomato plants.

AND, the Brown-Eyed Susans that surround me.

Captured a rainbow -

          - just outside the kitchen window - can you see it?

Whoa!!

  That's some pretty amazing aerial acrobatics

Sunrise on a Carolina summer's morning...

                  Wake up, sleepy head!

At last!

I'm pleased to announce that 'Miracles All Around Me - 
The Unexpected Gifts of My Mother's Alzheimers' is 
now available. The hardback and eBook can be found at 
Amazon and Barnes & Noble.  If you prefer a bricks & mortar 
store and you're in Charlotte, NC - please visit Park Road Books. 
The book will soon be featured at The Bag Lady.
 

Promise of Spring!

       (as my favorite Brit says)

Expect "Miracles" soon...

My book about taking care of my mom, Rusty Burris, during the last decade of her life as she faced the challenges of early-onset Alzheimer’s is finally completed and I’m pleased to announce that it will be available in a few days. Stay tuned.

Happy Valentine's Day!

     Snow in the front is a little more impressive today

     And gorgeous out the back, too!

Nobody enjoys the snow more than "The Snow Dawg".

Our pre-Valentine's Day Snow

      Beautiful white stuff - front...

               ...and back
