God Bless. Thank you! I appreciate y’all.
This is a recent challenge posted by Tao-talk.com. I decided to play along. I’ll be watching for your selections.
Dale Rogerson put a music challenge up on facebook and I completed the challenge there and decided to move it over here. I’ve not only put the song titles in but links to each song. Feel free to create a post with your answers and put a link in my comments or give your responses directly into my comments. I had fun with this one and liked having a refresher on songs I hadn’t listened to in awhile.
OK music lovers — here are the rules:
Answer each category with a SONG. No repeats and you can’t use the internet (it’s tempting but try not to). Go with the first song that comes to mind, change the answers to your own (can’t steal mine). Be sure to put on YOUR page, not mine. Just put “done” when you’ve completed yours:
* Something to Wear- Blue Suede Shoes
* A Place – California Dreamin’
* Animal – A Horse with No Name
* A Number – 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover
* A Color – Don’t it Make My Brown Eyes Blue?
* A Girl’s Name – Peggy Sue
* A Boy’s Name – Johnny B Goode
*Profession – American Soldier
*Day of the week – Rainy Days and Mondays
God Bless. Thank you! I appreciate y’all.

The area cats tended to give birth under our home. They would sun themselves on the porch, on our car, and sometimes on our roof. They came and went as they pleased. They would watch you watching them, but never allow you to get too close.

Haven’t traveled too far since Covid-19 lockdown, however, in early 2020 I visited relatives in Texas. While there I would walk around the neighborhood or wherever the opportunity arose.
I spotted these lovely flowers while walking around my Aunt’s neighborhood in Abilene, Texas. It was taken with the cell phone I had at the time, an iPhone 11 Pro Max.

This photo goes way back to before I was even imagined. I’m not sure who took the photo, however, it is a picture I inherited.
This is a photo of my mom back probably in the mid to late 1940’s, before she graduated from high school. It was taken in San Diego, California.
It is a piece of nostalgia, a small piece of my mom’s past. A way to know about her life especially since she never talked about her childhood or any portion before the life I knew with my family.
God Bless. Thank you! I appreciate y’all.

This week I am combining my Monday Windows with Thursday Doors. These were captured last week when my grandson, Coleman and I went walking along the Baxter Village Trailhead and part of the Baxter Village Neighborhood. Some of the doors were decorated for Autumn and others were decorated for Christmas already.

As I walked around my complex today I noticed these discarded flowers sitting out back of one of the apartments. I wondered why someone would just place them out their back door and not throw them away if they didn’t want them any more. It appeared as if there wasn’t much life to them anymore.

Our hike/walk today landed us in Baxter Village, a section in Fort Mill, South Carolina. Baxter Village has a trailhead across from the Fort Mill Library which is a part of the Carolina Thread Trail. The Carolina Thread Trail has trails throughout the Carolinas for everyone to enjoy the outdoors and get close to nature. This was our first time visiting this trail and we will probably visit it again. We, my grandson and I, only hiked a fraction of the trail today. The length of the trails run from Baxter Village down to the Catawba River. We hiked from the trailhead in Baxter Village to Allison Creek Park not wanting to overdue being out in the cold chilly weather.

Today’s Walking Squares selection is putting the spotlight on Plumeria and the Atkinson Plumeria Farm.
The Atkinson’s have been growing and selling plumeria in San Diego’s East County since 1997. They also offer classes, consultation services, and sales throughout the year. Stacy also uses the various Plumeria to make leis and to teach others how to make them.
A lei is a garland or wreath common in Hawaii, across Polynesia, and the Philippines. A lei is a common symbol of love, friendship, celebration, honor or greeting. In essence, it is a symbol of Aloha.

It has been several years since I lived in San Diego. I still love the beautiful scenery, the warmer weather. The close proximity to beaches, mountains, and the desert. This photo was taken by a friend of mine. I love the reminders of where I once lived.
