The weather this week has been gorgeous so I’ve been outdoors most of it. Unfortunately many of my pictures did not come out. Still struggling to get used to my new camera and lens. However, I did manage to get a few I was happy with.
Look at you, madman! Screaming you are thirsty and dying in a desert, when all around you there is nothing but water. ~Kabir

“O Tiger-lily,” said Alice, addressing herself to one that was waving gracefully about in the wind, “I wish you could talk!”
“We can talk,” said the Tiger-lily. “When there’s anybody worth talking to.” ~Lewis Carroll

His sanguine spirit turns every firefly into a star. ~Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Jellicle cats come out tonight, Jellicle cats come one come all, the Jellicle moon is shining bright, Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball. ~T.S. Eliot

The man who has seen the rising moon break out of the clouds at midnight has been present like an archangel at the creation of light and of the world. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

If we had a keen vision of all that is ordinary in human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow or the squirrel’s heart beat, and we should die of that roar which is the other side of silence. ~George Eliot

When I am happy, a sparrow’s chirp is delicious to me. But it is not the chirp that makes me happy, but I that make it sweet. ~John Ruskin

Every one is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody. ~Mark Twain

Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne

Our neighbor asked us to store another car for a few days, one that he’s going to be painting. As long as this gorgeous car is hanging around, I figured I should get some pictures. It’s a ’67 Camaro. One car I would kill to have.

So ready for it to feel more like summer than spring. Much rain and horrendous storms this week. Hail, tornadoes, all sorts of craziness. Oh, and we had a long day at the hospital thrown in there for good measure.
Have I mentioned? OY.

Today we walked in the Great Strides walk to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation…All of my pictures today are from and in honor of the walk. We’re still accepting donations, so if you have even a spare dollar to help us find a cure, click my button over there. Even though CFF is getting closer to a cure every year, even today we had a moment of silence in honor of a 17 year old that had lost her battle with the disease just last week.

For one night we got to keep a gorgeous beauty in our garage as a favor for our neighbor. Very few cars bring to mind the famous lines from “Grease”…but this car did for me. You are supreme, the chicks’ll…
