CMMC: Violet or White Color – At the Gibson House

It’s been cold and rainy all week. On Wednesday, Coleman and I decided to try to beat the rain and ventured out to visit Forest at Anne Springs Close Greenway Horse Stables. It was sure cold 🥶 though. However, Coleman enjoyed his time visiting the horses. [Those pictures are saved for another post].

We spotted these Violet and White Flowers by the Gibson House on the way back to the car whilst trying not to get the camera wet. So naturally I had to capture them with a few snapshots. After all I did have my camera around my neck.

Floral Friday # 81: December 16, 2022 – Salvia lyrata

Salvia lyrata

It is sometimes grown in gardens for its attractive foliage and flowers, though it can prolifically seed, easily becoming a lawn weed.

What’s on your List?: Music Challenge

https://i0.wp.com/www.f-covers.com/cover/music-splash-facebook-cover-timeline-banner-for-fb.jpg

This is a recent challenge posted by Tao-talk.com. I decided to play along. I’ll be watching for your selections.

image link

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

MUSIC Challenge

God Bless. Thank you! I appreciate y’all.

FOTD: December 3, 2022 – Viola

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.

VIOLA TRICOLOR VAR. HORTENSIS PENSEER

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.

Throwback Thursday #2 – Way, Way, back…

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.

Doyce Eileen Watson

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.

Monday Windows/Thursday Doors – Dressed for the Season

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.

FOTD: Discarded Autumn Bouquet

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.
