  3. Those are beautiful. I never realized how much time and care it takes to grow roses like that until I tried it myself. 😊

  5. chelawriter – I thought retirement would give me more time to write, but as with may others, my experience of retirement so far is that it is far busier than my employment years. Two wild fires with evacuations and extensive damage to my home have not helped. Repairs are almost complete, and fingers crossed things will settle down so I can post more often.

    We don’t have a lot of lush flower gardens here in the high plains desert, so I love seeing them in your pictures

    How you manage to express so much of a story in few words and one photo is impressive, Catherine.

  8. Sheryl Craig Russell – I am a country woman, born and raised, recently uprooted and placed temporarily into city living...although I'm told Laurel, MT is a small town, not a city. I like to write about what I love; God, family, and my country.

  12. Cynthia Guenther Richardson – Pacific NW – Hello fellow readers and bloggers, Writing has always been a powerful connector to diverse ideas and people. We each are a meaningful part of this beautiful, ever-widening web of life. Blogging enables more interaction, which I love even after 11 years of blogging posts on three different sites. For thirty years I was an addictions/mental health counselor and also a manager of home care services for elderly folks. Now that I have hit 70 and am more devoted to a creative life! I've published online or in literary journals/collections several times, including fiction and creative non-fiction pieces and poetry over five decades. Additionally, I was nominated for a Pushcart Prize for an excerpt of my novel-in-progress, Other than Words (the work gathering dust at present), about a mute dancer and her impact on her adopted community and a world-travelling photojournalist. I also am working on a connected set of stories about a close-knit town in northern Michigan. On Wordpress I enjoy writing about living richly despite (or because of) life's setbacks and a diagnosis of heart disease at age 51. Posts tagged "memoir" share spiritual adventures, interactions with nature, the healing of trauma's impact and challenges of writing full-time. Short stories and creative nonfiction, and poetry are favorite genres but I enjoy sharing my photography as well My hope is my offerings reflect a profound faith in God and our humanness which cloaks spiritual natures. I include myself as part of the diverse group of writers who discover and share the illuminating, positive experiences amid life's uncertainties and hardships. Let me hear from you when you visit--I appreciate your comments a great deal. Blessings and regards, Cynthia

    When I was a toddler–just old enough to walk, I visited my grandfather’s garden and was so attracted to a rose that I did not see the honeybee. I leaned in for more of that rose fragrance. The bee took issue. Right on my nose. I figure it injected into me my undying interest in plants and their flowers. Your photo brought back those memories. Thank you.
