  8. At Sunnyside - Where Truth and Beauty Meet – earth – Sunnyside was born many years ago, the name of my fictional home for orphaned children and animals in a story for Mrs. Watson’s eighth grade writing class. A medical degree and six biologic homeschooled children later, Sunnyside became the name of my classical education website, Sunnyside Classical Christian School. Now entering a new phase of life, I plan to rest and reflect on all things true and beautiful here At Sunnyside. Who is the lovely woman pictured above? Meet my kindred spirit, Euphemia White Van Rensselear in my favorite portrait painted by George Healy in 1842 (On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 75)

  10. clcouch123 – In conversation, I prefer Christopher. My mom named me after Christopher Robin, after all. In writing, I use “C L Couch” (or, more simply, “c l couch”) because the form is genderless and also frankly easier to use. I have awful writer’s cramp. I am an educator more or less retired, more or less due to disability. At present, I live in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania (USA). My writing here I mean to be occasional and also devotional. Either or both. The banner and profile photographs are by my friend and peer Debra Danielson. More of Debbie’s work to be enjoyed is at debradanielson.org. Thanks to each of you and both and all for coming to my blog.

    This is a beautiful photograph. Queen is a good metaphor, since queens decide things. And we hope winter will be benevolent, that that is uncertain. The queen will make up her mind.

        I don’t know if the “Like” feature worked or not. Sometimes (often) I can’t tell. Sigh. Anyway, I appreciate your response. And, yes, let’s hope for benevolent winter (appealing to the queen, if need be).

      2. And I sigh in unison with you CL. The “like” is a feature of mystery! One I have failed to solve after years of attempts.

  13. jillslawit – My corner of Pennine Yorkshire may be no more than a crumb crumbled from the piecrust holding this fragile world together, but it's where I come from. I am part of the earth and moorland of my surroundings, which are deep-rooted in what I think, what I write about and what I am. I live in a small cottage amongst my pens and pencils, my photos, vintage bits and bobs, and my books. Best of all I get to share my life with small visiting granddaughters, family and some very special friends. I work full time in the charity sector. I enjoy reading, writing, taking pictures and looking after my little garden when I've time.

  14. mjeanpike – Changing seasons. Unexpected blessings. Love that lasts forever. These are a few of M. Jean Pike's favorite things. With a writing career that has spanned two decades, Jean combines her faith in God with an insatiable curiosity about humans and why they do what they do, and a keen interest in the quirky and offbeat things in life to bring readers unforgettable tales of life, love, and the inner workings of the human heart.

  15. judybarton – Still in love, complicated, almost stupid, interested to recognize herself. "Up to the age of eighteen years old everybody writes poems; after, only two categories of people may continue to do it: poets and idiots." (Benedetto Croce). Obviously I do not consider myself a poet.
