Party Time!

It's time for Vee's Note Card Party.

I have to admit -- this party is one of my favorite in the Land of Blog.

So many nice bloggers, beautiful photos, wonderful ideas.

A big thank you to Vee for hosting.

I've searched for four photographs on my blog that would make a nice set of note cards.

I think they will warm you up and perhaps bring a smile to your face.

They were all taken at one of my favorite places -- the Japanese Garden in Hermann Park.

Nature is profoundly beautiful in this garden.
We can't forget the critters!

"The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely, or unhappy is to go outside somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature."

~Anne Frank

Wishing YOU well and much joy!

Notecard Party!

Oh my.

Decisions, decisions!

It's time for one of my favorite Blog Land Parties:
Vee's Notecard Party.

We need to pick 4 photos that have been shown previously on our blog
that we think would make good notecards.

I looked and looked.
Finally, I decided to pick some ICADs (Index Card A Day) I made during the summer.
Perhaps I'm looking for warmer days?
(Shock! Remind me of this comment in UGHust!)

So, I hope these, at the very least, bring a smile to your face!

 

Many thanks to Vee for hosting.

Wishing you well and much joy!

Fall Is Coming!

It is time for Vee's Notecard Party.

Fall is almost here.

Every year I walk around the neighborhood and take photos of the fall decorations.

I couldn't pick just four, so here are my favorite fall photos from years past.

"Delicious autumn!  My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth
seeking the successive autumns."
-   George Eliot

"I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house. 
So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air.
-  Nathaniel Hawthorne

"No Spring nor Summer Beauty hath such grace
As I have seen in one Autumnal face."
-   John Donne

"Come said the wind to 

the leaves one day,  Come o're the meadows 

and we will play.  Put on your dresses 

scarlet and gold,  For summer is gone 

and the days grow cold." -  A Children's Song of the 1880's

"I love fall! Fall is exciting.
It's apples and cider.
It's an airborne spider.
It's pumpkins in bins.
It's burrs on dog's chins.
It's wind blowing leaves.
It's chilly red knees.
It's nuts on the ground.
It's a crisp dry sound.
It's green leaves turning
And the smell of them burning.
It's clouds in the sky.
It's fall. That's why...
I love fall."-   Author Unknown

Wishing you well and much joy.
