The Fairy Dance

The soft stars are shining,

The moon is alight;

The fold of the forest

Are dancing tonight:

O swift and gay

Is the song that they sing;

They float and sway

As they dance in a ring.


O seek not to find them,

The wee fold so fair;

They’re shy as the swallow

And swift as the air:

If you come, they are gone

Like a snowflake in May;

Like a breath, like a sigh,

They vanish away.

Katherine Davis (1892-1980)

Still Blooming! 

Done for the Template Challenge #4 found here:  https://oscraps.com/community/threads/october-challenge-4-template.38436/ using the Free With $15 Purchase, brand new OScraps Designer Collaboration.

Journaling reads:   I received this begonia from my daughter, Elisabeth, for Mother’s Day.  I am amazed that it is still blooming!  It has been sitting on the deck all summer.  I watered it maybe once a week or so, so I’m surprised that it has lived as long as it has!  9/28/23

Beautiful Blooms

Journaling reads:  We went to Jenifer’s house to let Axle out to potty.  While Mark took care of that, I walked back up the lane to get pictures of the beautiful yellow flowers.  I was  pleasantly surprised to see all of the bees flying from flower to flower!  I got Mark to get off the bike when he came back up the lane to pick me up and I got a picture of us with the beautiful blooms between us!   9/16/23

Beauty Amidst Color

Journaling reads:  While riding behind Mark on the bike I have my camera at the ready for capturing whatever sparks my interest as we travel.  Tonight’s ride was a study in the clouds.  I love the different shapes and shades they form.  I love the different colors the sun brings to light as it sets lower and lower in the sky!  Every sky is different!  Every sky is amazing.  Every sky is a masterpiece painted by God!   9/16/23

Happy Ending

Journaling reads:  On Tuesday, September 19, 2023, Mark had an appointment with the Digestive Health people.  The weather was beautiful, so we decided to ride the bike.  It was determined that Mark needed to have a colonoscopy and also an endoscopy to see what was causing the blood.  After the procedure appointment was made, we left and stopped at Cracker Barrel for a late lunch before heading home.  It was later determined that the cause of the blood was ulcers in his stomach which is being treated with Omeprazole.  Mark has to stay away from aspirin products.  So thankful it was not worse!

Sunday Morning Ride

Journaling reads:  With temperatures expected in the 70’s today and a mix of clouds and sun, it was a perfect day to ride to church!  I always have my camera with me, just in case.  Today’s views were not unusual.  However, I did capture a bird flying over the church that I did not notice when I snapped the picture as we pulled into the parking lot.  The yellow flowers were at the corner of 109 and Gum Tree and I loved the old barn against the backdrop of fluffy clouds!      9/24/23

Sunshine and Shadows

Journaling reads:  I like to take shadow pictures of Mark and I on the bike.  Today the sun was shining so nice and brightly that I took several.

Mark wanted a good steak after his colonoscopy procedure on the 27th but we ended up at Arby’s instead.  But, the taste for steak was still there, so we decided to try a place not too far away and a restaurant we had not tried before.  I’m not a steak eater most of the time.  And most steak places serve chicken, so I had a chicken sandwich while Mark had a “delicious” steak!  We enjoyed the croissant rolls with cinnamon honey butter, too!   We were pleased with the meal!  I’m sure we will eat there again sometime!   9/28/23
