Yesterday, after the rainstorms and strong winds passed, a perfect double rainbow appeared. Life can be like that—storms, heavy rains, and howling winds, followed by skies that clear to reveal beauty still waiting to be discovered. Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday. Back to the vet today 🙏.

Happy birthday, sir!

The vet appointment yesterday didn’t go as planned. I’m getting the side-eye—he definitely sensed something was up. We were all dressed and ready to go, but the vet had a family emergency and had to cancel. Now we have to do it all over again on Wednesday. Oooofff. Happy Tuesday to all!!!!💓

Happened to stumble upon this little beauty during a short walk along Needmore Rd. near my home. I’m not sure what kind it is, but it was just sitting there, waiting for me to pull out my phone and snap a picture. It really is the small things, isn’t it?❤️

It’s that time of year in the mountains, with Black-Eyed Susans blooming everywhere. Happy Sunday to all—wishing you a day filled with peace.

Not the best picture he did not want to cooperate with me. 😁My bestie Bentley just got back from his July grooming. He hates the process but loves all the attention when he gets home. Wishing everyone a wonderful Thursday—take care of yourself and share a smile.

The moon was putting on a show last night! Wishing everyone a wonderful day—spread some kindness and find something that makes you smile. Time to look around for a bit, then back to doing chores.

Cabins in the woods of WNC mountains, so much peace. #MountainCabins

Sunsets in Wyoming always took my breath away. Found this old photo from 2012. Have a great week.

Every Sunday when I lived in WA was road trip day, and this photo is from Cannon Beach. Have a great day—get out, make some memories, and relax. Whatever you’re stressing about will still be there tomorrow or may already have worked itself out. Just take care of yourself and the people you love!

Sitting and listening to the water flow, I think back to last fall at Deep Creek and wish I could be there today. It’s been raining for days now. Happy Saturday—may this weekend be a time to replenish the body, mind, and soul. Wishing you a peaceful weekend.♥️👋.

I watched the Rod Stewart concert the other night and woke up in Maggie Valley. I named my second-to-last daughter Maggie, and now “Wake up Maggie, I think I have something to say to you” is stuck in my head as we watched this sunrise. Have a wonderful day, be kind, and try to find peace in each day

Last night’s sunset at Maggie Valley overlook was a stunning display of nature’s beauty. Wishing everyone a wonderful Wednesday. Physical therapy this morning—oh, the joy and fun! I’ll check back in later. Remember to be kind to others and to yourself.

I love water pictures and being near the water. The river is fairly low at the moment, but it will rise as they release water from the dam. This is called Deep Creek—though it’s not so deep right now! Have a wonderful Sunday. I am out for the day, warming up , sun is shining!!

My first time at the West Coast beaches was a bit of a shock. It was a tough hike down to the water, but totally worth it. Second Beach, WA, 2017. Happy Sunday to all—wishing everyone a peaceful day!

When I lived in Olympia, WA, near the Capitol, there was a large lake open for everyone to walk around, and it quickly became one of my favorite spots. I always had company on those walks, the ducks who thought they owned that water and they squawked at me the entire way.♥️Go take a memory today!!📷

Not my photo. This tree reflects how I feel—I’ve fallen, but I haven’t given up. Life isn’t easy; in fact, it’s very hard. It’s a constant process of learning, often feeling like we can’t take another step, yet somehow finding the strength to keep going. I’ll always find a way to survive. ♥️

Panama Beach has incredibly beautiful white sand, and one of the nicest surprises was discovering flowers growing right in it. Taking the day to relax and recharge the mind and soul with my bestie Bentley. Go create some memories and enjoy a wonderful day!

The hiker gals went on a hike to some waterfalls yesterday. Sent me this one. I can’t tackle that trek anymore—my log-crossing days are behind me—but I’m so thrilled they thought of me. Have a wonderful Tuesday, be kind, and find your peace.

Celebrate your fluffy friends this National Puppy Day! 🐕 It’s a joyful day for my boy Bentley, who will be treated like the king he is. I can’t imagine how empty my world would be without him. I’d share puppy pics, but I rescued him five years ago when he was already five.

One of my favorite pictures will always be of the stones placed by visitors at Ruby Beach, WA. I wish I knew the story behind each one. That day, I placed three—one for a friend and one for my daughter. We were new to WA then, but we loved exploring the beaches along the West Coast.

Great Smoky Mountain hiking trail to one of the many waterfalls. I wish I had been able to go, but my friend sent me this shot. Ahhhh I can almost hear the water. Happy Sunday. Did you remember to spring forward??

So far this is my Saturday morning. Have a good day, it is going to take a few extra cups of coffee for me.. Thank you to all who are following, I am vetting and following back. Be kind to each other, share a smile.

Little outing up to the river to watch and listen to the water rushing by. Best therapy for my soul. This Whale Rock wish I had sound for you. Have a great day, be kind.

Good luck out there today!! Have a wonderful day, be kind and spread some good vibes wherever you are. Thanks for being a friend, now off to do some catching up around here, and follow backs. ♥️💙🐈‍⬛

My happy boy say's good morning to all also. He is patiently waiting for me to walk to the mailbox, his favorite time of the day. I was waiting for a little warm temp first. This is boy is my world.

Downtown Bryson City snowstorm 1/30/26 this was far from over. This tourist town got busy salting and scraping the roads. The other picture is my sisters yard..

I am finally back in Bluesky. This winter storm has been something. I hope all are doing well, staying warm and safe. It is going to take some big warm up to get rid of all this snow and ice. For the most part had power did lose internet but rather be warm. Now to catch up... any good news?😀
