We’ve all heard how important it is to eat a diet high in roughage. Likewise, “roughaging” (spending time outdoors) is essential to our mental health. Even if it’s a settee on the porch, we need it, gotta have it. I aim to be the reason you pulled your bedding out the back door last night.
Cindy Meade says: WOW that is stunning. Peaceful yet mysterious. Love it..
Winnie Nielsen says: Oh for that view everyday!
Cindy Sproat says: Looks like you can see forever
Mary Carnes says: Peace in the land, but a rumbling is starting up in the clouds. This is a perfect picture of life. With peace there come a rumble to try to startle you. Then your knight comes to your side and its peace again.
Marlene Burns says: Sounds like a nice book. Always enjoy hearing about new authors. Reading is a passion necessary to everday sanity
Diane Rainville says: Peaceful! gives a beautiful perspective to living.
BB king says: oh my, your bluebirds are so much brighter than ours on the East coast! so lovely !
Winnie Nielsen says: Oh my!! What a splendid photo this morning. Do you remember the nursery song “Bluebird, Bluebird, in and out my window?” Two children hold their hands up like a bridge and another child ducks in and out of each pair of hands all around the circle.
Happy Friday and Happy Weekend, MaryJane!
MaryJane says: Good morning Miss Winnie. Yes, the song. Now I’m singing it:)
terry steinmetz says: oh, the bluebirds are just arriving here & looking for a place to build their homes, Our birdhouses are cleaned out and ready for them to set up their nests!
Cindi says: That’s an amazing capture!! Geese. They all seem to look alike and appear to be, well.. just ordinary. But they are amazing and beautiful creatures. Devoted pairs diligently raising families, they defend their mates, nests and little ones with the fierceness of a lion. The little ones exhibit a faith like none other, trusting their featherless wings to hold balance as they leap from high nests to follow their mother to water ~ bouncing off the ground (with squeaks!), run to mother and wait for the last chick to muster the courage to join them. Beautiful, beautiful picture to start the morning. As they all are 🙂
Karlyne says: Spectacular! Again…
Winnie Nielsen says: Love that Canadian Goose! Great action photo. Thank-you!
MaryJane says: I sent them to Warren and he in turn has been sending me FABULOUS hummingbird photos. Tell him MANY thanks. Let’s keep it going–our birds/your birds (and the occasional ‘gator.)
Winnie Nielsen says: Beautiful! The views on your farm are just breath taking every way one looks.
Diana Shelton says: Majestic! great photography to catch such an inspiring moment! It is a reminder to me of God’s wonderful promises.
Winnie Nielsen says: Whatever these flowers are, they sure are lovely. That purple color is spectacular.
MaryJane says: Good morning Miss Winnie! My flowers are Lenten Roses or Hellebores (http://www.finegardening.com/hellebores-cure-late-winter-blues)
Diana Shelton says: Awe! Spring is here, admiring the deep luscious beauty of color and only reminiscing the smell of the flowers aroma in the air.
Winnie Nielsen says: Oh, the snow is melting and the pond is nice and full! Not long now until the little Spring Pepper frogs start singing at night!
Good Morning MaryJane! It is so nice to be back at my now computer with my Bump kitty sitting in his basket by me and staring out the window.
MaryJane says: No place like home. Mr. Bump is happy too I’m sure. Welcome back Miss Winifred!!!!!
Diana Shelton says: This scene is only seen in the eye of an artist, what a beautiful contrast of shadows of God’s creation.

Our hyacinths here in Amishland have come and gone. I treasure my heirloom Wood hyacinths from my farming Mentor, Eva. They call them ” bluebells” around here, Blue single flowers in a long stem. Very fragrant but not that awful perfumey smell of today’s flowers.
Oh , I love the fragrance of Hyacinths because they confirm to me that Spring is here and all is beginning to be bright and fragrant outside.
