A Brand New Life
Last June, my son’s family’s precious 14-year-old Havanese, Bentley, went to doggy heaven. We closed that chapter of caring for him and making him feel comfortable, but the love for him will never leave us. We’ll forever cherish the precious memories of Bentley growing up with my four Wuerch grandsons. It really is like losing…
Step into Spring
Spring begins today, March 19, 2024. Usually, it’s March 20 or 21, but because it’s a leap year, February gets an extra day. The season moves up a little on the calendar. Either way, the first day of Spring is always a little over a week after daylight saving time. But, with all that info,…
Spring has Sprung
Drum roll please…….today, March 20th, is officially the first day of Spring, And, yesterday, Sunday, I came out — outside, that is. It was a glorious, sun-shiny day. Just knowing that today is the first day of Spring made me want to go out and about. Yesterday was the last day of Austin’s SXSW –…
Okay! I’m Done. Winter Can Be Over.
Winter is one of my favorite seasons. I look forward to its arrival every year. Cozy fire in the fireplace, wrapping up in a blankie, hot coffee (well, that’s any time of the year). The practical truth — no yard maintenance costs and utility bills go way down. I love the excuse “It’s too cold…
Is the Coming of Spring Bringing Spring to Your Steps?
Just 7 days until it’s officially Spring (March 20th). The pink tulips, the bright yellow jonquils and the bright yellow forsythia are out. The red bud trees are red budding. The creeping phlox are creeping out. And, Sunday, I came out — outside, that is. I’ve been hibernating for most of this winter. What happened…
Welcome Home, Love!
After two weeks away, I was back home to T-Town, and saw that my yellow rose bush was blooming. I know it’s Spring, but, in my own little world, I like to think that it being in bloom was a special gift from my Sweetheart in heaven. Yellow roses were a big deal for us…
Do You Have SPRING in Your Steps?
Did you ever hear that phrase? It means that we’re walking with a bit of a bounce in our steps, implying that we’re in a good mood or something good has just happened to us. Think of a coiled piece of metal that pushes back when it’s pressed upon, like the springs in our mattress…
Holy Week — a Time for Remembering
Just look at those amazing signs of Spring that celebrate this marvelous Holy Week aka Passion Week, the week just before Easter. Yesterday was Palm Sunday, the sacred day that commemorates the entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem, where He rode into town on a donkey as crowds of people joyfully lauded him and spread…
Brand New Life
Day 81 of Photo Inspirations — Brand New Life Yesterday, in front of me in church, I saw a little bit of heaven…..it was a precious newborn baby. He drew all of us into his world — a least those of us who sat near him. When he was born, his Mama said “he…

Yesterday, as I was driving home from the Southern Hills area of town, I was so taken by these gorgeous bushes of forsythias that I just…
