Cornflower

cornflower

On a foggy Kentucky morn, a cornflower sits at the edge of the road bordering the hay bottom of my dad’s few acres. When the sun rises high and hot and burns the mist away, the azure blue blossoms will open wide and flat, welcoming waiting bees. Sunset will nudge the blooms inward, until a new day, and the cycle begins again. For the cornflower, life goes on, at least for the summer.

The Neighbor's Fence

A good neighbor is a fellow who smiles at you over the back fence, but doesn’t climb over it.

Arthur Baer

Such is my folks’ neighbor, whose property this fence surrounds.

Mellow Yellow Monday: Broken Wing

This poor Eastern Tiger Swallowtail I snapped in Eastern Kentucky has seen better days. Here, she—females have that band of blue on the hind wings—rests on a bloom of Queen Anne’s Lace along the neighbor’s barbed wire fence line.

Follow the link to see a whole lot of beautiful yellow things!

A Mishmosh Of Goings-On

whiteafricanviolet

I know I promised a meatier post for today, and I was tooling along just fine…I really was…until I got a phone call about a family member’s health glitch. So I’m now all distracted, at least until I hear good news. So, just a few random things…

I’m still throwing punches with my cold, but am getting better. But, you know how you’re improving, but then along come these other annoying symptoms? Like a nonstop runny nose and that tickly throat thing that is usually worse at night, so you can’t sleep and neither can anyone else? I hate when that happens. I’m trying not to whine here, so I’ll move on.

This beautiful African violet is just one of many that adorned my mother’s lawyer’s office. That’s one good thing about country lawyers…they don’t mind much about one roaming about and taking pictures. Or maybe they’re just too polite to say anything. Anyway, I kept my camera focused on the flowers and away from the file cabinets, so…

You may have noticed that I’m back to messing around with website design, but haven’t attained any sense of consistency with pattern, color, etc. So, maybe I’d better work on that…oh, and tomorrow’s post.

An Old House

I should have a more substantial post for you tomorrow. I’m on the mend from this darn cold and think I shall be more with it tomorrow. I feel fine…I’m just too busy wiping my nose and coughing to type. Argh!
