Golden Fields of Sunflowers

A magical field 

owned by a car wash 

showcases an annual attraction 

of sunflowers. 

Sunflower lovers flock 

from near and far 

to enjoy their golden splendor.  

The field is open to the public

and free of charge.

(...but it would be nice to 

wash your car there 

to thank them!)

A relatively new player 

in the sunflower field experience 

is located at 

Kohler Farms.  

This sunflower field 

is a memorial to 

Chuck Kohler.  

I hope to see this field continue 

and grow in coming years 

because every community 

needs a sunflower field.

Do you have a local sunflower field?

Fading Summer

Who doesn't love a field of sunflowers? 

I know I do. 

It's too bad I didn't discover this one until summer's end. 

Never Forget and Passing the Torch Combo

In memory
and with appreciation
of those who fought
for our country.


Worlds Apart

I said Yes to Kathy
at You'll Shoot Your Eye Out
to continuing the Virtual Blog Tour.
However, I did not realize my date
coincided with Memorial Day in the US.
So, today you get a combination post.
Whenever else would I get to use all these war images?

Virtual Blog Tour Question 1:  What am I working on? 

*Recreating married teacher-daughter's room into a guest room. 
It's a place I will use my new favorite color: Canning Jar Blue. 

*Getting gardens ready for summer. 
I wish I would use garden gloves 
to preserve my delicate hands, 
but I always pull them off and 
have dirty nails afterwards.  

*Cleaning images off the computer - 
an endless task 
like the song that never ends.

Virtual Blog Tour Question 2:
How does my work differ from other's of it's genre? 

If I could concisely define my genre, 
I might be able to give you an answer. 
And therein lies my problem. 
I'm undefined. 
But that's who I am. 
You never know what you'll get 
and neither do I.

Virtual Blog Tour Question 3.  
Why do I write/create what I do? 

A response to my environment: 
Something moves me, humors me, touches me, interests me. 
My heart pitter-patters and 
it drives me to pick up the camera in the moment.

Virtual Blog Tour Question 4.  
How does your writing/creativity process work? 

"How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?" 
It's spontaneous.

And I pass this virtual tour torch to...
another Becky. 
Becky Leatherman Adams. 
I had the pleasure of meeting Becky 
in Philadelphia when she organized 
a photo walk for iheartfaces. 

This is what Becky says about herself: 

Any way,

about me?

Well, I am 33.

I love my kid SO much.

It is sort of ridiculous.

I actually love all children.

I think they are magical.

I have green eyes.

I am fat.

Always have been.

I have a GREAT husband.

My family is amazing.

I love taking pictures.

It makes my heart sing.

I think living inspired is the best way to live.

Life is short.

I believe in Jesus.

Becky is sweet, kind, thoughtful, helpful...beautiful.
Check out some stories she has captured
on her blog, Life with Kaishon.
Enjoy her beauty.
It will make you smile.
Her blog is approaching 1,000 followers
so you know you don't want to miss out on anything there.
So hop to it!

I cannot close without also expressing appreciation 
to the reenactors 
who spend countless hours and dollars 
keeping history alive 
helping us to never forget.

Autumn Wonderland

It wasn't quite an Autumn Splendor, 

and not quite a Winter Wonderland either.

It was an Autumn Wonderland! 

An early winter storm before the leaves 

had finished falling from the trees 

was certainly a surprise. 

I took these photos out the car window 

as my husband was driving. 

We should have stayed home! 

The untreated roads were really slick.

But we NEEDED pumpkins - 

so we shopped for pumpkins in the snow. 

Lady in Blue

I went to anAmerican Civil War encampment

at Graeme Park in Horsham, PA

I had never visited there before

and was able to take advantage of a 

tour of the Keith House.

One of the reeactors was this lovely lady

dressed in blue.

 Her dress is Civil War era.

Although the house is steeped in

Revolutionary War era history 

it did exist and house a family

through the Civil War as well.

The history surrounding Keith House
is fascinating
and I will post on that
in the near future.




Seeing our Lady in Blue there
gave you the feel of a glimpse
back in time.

The complete photo gallery is here.

If you go...
We had a wonderful tour by a 
very knowledgeable high school senior.
The grounds are free and
Keith House tours are only $5.
If you live nearby, please stop in!
These historic places 
have suffered severe budget cuts
and need our help to survive
through the current economy.

A Birthday Celebration

New Year's Eve in our home is a birthday...

My youngest, and only son, was born on New Year's Eve -

much to my husband's joy - (he really wanted another tax deduction to offset capital gains.)

We have made a tradition of celebrating the two events by joining Wing Mak,

now owner of Wing Lee Cuisine in Horsham, PA,

for a Birthday/New Year's Eve dinner.

Wing Lee's is my son's favorite restaurant.

It is Chinese, but not just any corner store Chinese,

it is delicious Chinese food.

Wonton Soup

You will never want to go back to your 

corner Chinese place again after visiting Wing Lee's.

Steamed Dumplings

The food is melt in your mouth delicious.

Crispy on the outside, yet tender on the inside kind of deliciousness.

Shrimp with Vegetables

And Wing is friendly as can be.

Sizzling Shrimp & Scallops in Pepper Sauce

Wing makes sure customer service is a priority too.

Honey Walnut Shrimp

Even if you think you don't like Chinese food...
this will change your mind.

So if you are one of my local follows,
RUN don't walk to Wing Lee's.
The rest of you I must leave drooling!
