Wildflowers

May 23, 2021 at 9:43 am by Claudia

Wildflowers are blooming all over the property.

I’m going to make this brief today as we have to go to the grocery store and it’s already hot and humid out there. We ended up putting the a/c in downstairs yesterday because it was so oppressive. Tomorrow will be back to normal, thank goodness.

I’ve already watered everything outside and took a little walk around the property, where I saw a huge dragonfly with black wings, and a small black swallowtail butterfly. The birds are singing their hearts out, the clematis is about to bloom – it’s beautiful out there.

We’ve had news concerning a young family member (Don’s family) that is heartbreaking. We are praying for him and for his family.

Sometimes it’s just too much.

If you’re inclined to offer your prayers, they would be appreciated.

Stay safe.

Happy Sunday.

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
