It’s #SkySunday and I will tell you that #Nature is your best bet if you are seeking solace.
Early morning sunrise on the Atlantic Ocean. Water, sand, sun.

Today is #HobbitDay because Bilbo and Frodo Baggins were both born on September 22nd.

Normally we'd shire a hobbit pun or two but it might just feel like a tolkien gesture and we don't want to embarrass our elves.

Anyway it's a good day to come and boromir #Tolkien books. 📚

A Good #SundayYellow Morning to you, from the #IndianaDunes on the southernmost shore of #LakeMichigan. North winds today suggest a hint of Fall in the air.

Today, I was attacked, and stung, by killer bees while trimming back some irises. Ok, they were yellow jackets, but still. Fell while running and screaming. On the flip side: a hummingbird landed on my cheek this morning so I guess it all evens out.

Able to salvage a few blooms from the ground after devastating storms near the Lake destroyed the flower gardens. Not what I intended when I planted a “chaos garden”.

Opened the book to find a handwritten note: Hope you enjoy this as much as I did. It’s one of those books not available on Libby so I thought I’d pass it along…”
