How to join Green Thumb Sunday


This shot was taken last spring and there is so much snow still on the ground this year, it will hard to find this sight any time soon.

So looking forward to spring arriving!

ABC Wednesday - J is for Jagged

J is for Jagged .......

The surface texture of a rock is a very boring subject.

I like to take macros of them though, as they make nice backgrounds and are good sellers for stock.

I found this rock quite interesting as it was all black with a strip of white running though it - and no seams where they are joined.

Some powerful forces created this one many centuries ago, then placed this giant boulder along the ocean shore.

The stories they could tell!

Haunted House

Haunted House






One evening, the boys wanted to do some salt water fishing in the bay instead of the open ocean.

They decided to go to an out of the way place that the locals call, Bloody Point.

It didn't sound too appetizing to me with a name like that, but always eager to explore new places, I trailed along with them.

The boys carried their fishing gear, and I had my camera gear, and we headed down a dirt path that grew darker as the trees closed in around us.

I could see this house from a distance and I didn't like idea of the windows being boarded up as they were, after all, we were at Bloody Point.

It was a very old wooden house dating back to the colonial times that this area is well-known for.

The hairs were rising on my arms as I read the KEEP OUT sign on the door - not that anybody in their right mind would go in there anyway.

As we passed the house, I turned back for another look, and the way the sun was lighting the upper half of the building took away the spooky feeling long enough to catch a few images.

Quickly running to catch up with the boys, I found the path had turned steep and rocky, but it had opened up to an ocean view with a perfect spot to sit and fish as the tide continued to rise.

We spent a couple hours there as the sun grew lower in sky, and walking in the dusk, past that spooky house, made me never so happy to see our car!

ABC Wednesday - I

(The Wordless Wednesday post is beneath this post.)

I is for Insulin .......

Insulin injections are a daily part of life for a person with diabetes.

My Mom was 17 when she was diagnosed with this disease, and we grew up with the knowledge of her having daily injections.

By the time I was 10, she had taught me how to give her her shots, and even now, 40 years later, I still get weak knees when I give them to her.

Since she has Type 1 diabetes, she will never be free from these needles. What used to be one a day many years ago has turned into five or six a day depending on her glucose readings.

This disease runs rampant in my family, and when having children, I was so worried for them.

Watching my Mom, though, helped me realize that this treatable disease can be managed and one can still live a full life.
