I never take our wonderful world for granted. Wherever I go, I pay close attention to my surroundings, on my own level, and above and below me. That is why, today, I am linking to another of my own posts, here at Calling-All-RushBabes. Check out "I've looked at clouds from both sides now", below. Just …

Shadows are cast by people and things, by the Sun. You often see a person's shadow before you see the person. It's really hard to sneak up on someone in the bright sunshine! How often have you seen something you want to photograph, and there's no place to stand where you do not cast a …

My favorite color is red. I drive a red car. I have a red leather folio for taking notes in meetings, a red leather case for my pens and reading glasses, and a red "accordion" wallet, all from Levenger. On our recent vacation in Nashville, red things were abundant around us. From the Waterfront Park …

I have always loved wild places, and we certainly have many right within a day's drive of my home in Western Washington State. In Eastern Washington, the landscape shows the effects of glaciation in the last Ice Age, over 10,000 years ago. Much of the land was a huge lake called Lake Missoula, covering much …

Living here in the Pacific Northwest, we are simply surrounded by blue and green. Washington is the Evergreen State for a reason! Driving down Highway 530 on the way to North Cascades National Park, tall trees line both sides of the road, and the late afternoon light makes them look more than one shade of …

Hmmmmm... I said to myself. This one will be difficult (imagine the Sorting Hat talking to Harry Potter). What is a spot? A place (garden spot, a picnic spot); a stain on your clothes or your hand (Out, out, Damned Spot! said Lady MacBeth); or just something roundish. And, what is a dot? A period …

I admit it, I have ten brown thumbs. I am not fond of yard work, and know very little about plants, or gardens. But I know a pleasant garden when I see one. If I can keep my mind off all the backbreaking work involved in maintaining a garden, I find them quite relaxing. The …

On April 25th, my husband and I flew from Seattle to Nashville, for a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar, and to do some sightseeing and meeting with our friends from Ricochet. I had the window seat, and I was fortunate to be able to see the ground for most of the four-hour flight. You want …

There is a place, which I have only known about since 2007, which has become in the intervening years, very dear to my heart. That place is Hillsdale College, in Hillsdale, Michigan. The College has been in existence since 1844, celebrating its 175th Anniversary in October of 2019. Besides being an exemplary Liberal Arts College, …

Flight means different things to different people, and it can signify many modes of travel. But it's always travel. Both my husband and I worked in the aerospace industry, before we lost our jobs to the government shutdowns last year. He worked for "big airframer company" for 40 years. When a brand new model was …
