“The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world’s problems.” — Mahatma Gandhi Passing along an article I really enjoyed at dailygood.org called Gandhi’s 10 Rules for Changing the World, by Henrik Edberg. Here’s a link to the full article, but I’m including…

Traveling Mercies
Saw these images and the following post on Facebook yesterday from the National Weather Service. Eventually, this made me really giddy: “Keen observers of our radar data probably noticed some fairly high returns moving south over southern Illinois and central Missouri. High differential reflectivity values as well as low correlation coefficient values indicate these are…
You Sure Look Happy
This is that utterly perfect time of year to be a runner. In my mind, any way. Temperatures are cool. Sunlight lingers long enough to get in a few miles after work. A lot more people are out and about. And of course, there’s that little matter of changes in color. Tonight I had one of…
Looking Like Fall
Temperatures in the 70s and new fall flowers. My kind of Saturday.
Sometimes…
….God smiles in color. And this year, God seems to be smiling a lot. In fact, I’d call it a full-on belly laugh. The trees in our neighborhood don’t even look real this year. It’s absolutely spectacular. A number of four-legged friends were out and about enjoying the colors and cool temperatures. Including this big…
Looking Like Fall
I cannot figure it out, but there are costumed scarecrows all along my route to work. There are so many themes…baseball players, cheerleaders, super heroes, Buzz Lightyear, pirates, you name it. But this Wizard of Oz set is my favorite. …and on the other side of the street is the Wicked Witch and some ruby-red…
Today was a good one.

Fall Sunday Fun Day
…And they’re off!! See Batman and the Riddler at the front of the starting line? Those are my guys, barreling out of the gate and running their first 5K race with reckless abandon. Pre-race silliness. I can’t begin to tell you how many people asked to pose for photos with them. It was hilarious….
A little odd
On a run this weekend, I saw an iris in bloom. A big, purple, oddly timed iris. This morning, I saw a few scraggly, tiny yellow blossoms poking through the branches of an otherwise dormant forsythia bush. This afternoon, I saw several rose bushes blooming proudly among a pile of crunchy, freshly fallen autumn leaves….
Little Changes
For the past several weeks, I haven’t been able to take my favorite route to work because of road construction. Which means that I haven’t been able to see Country Bear Jamboree in quite some time. But tonight on my way home, I was missing him. So I went out of my way and paid…
Out the Window
Tonight I creeped into my neighbor’s yard to sneak some photos of her beautiful garden. (Who am I kidding. She’s used to it. She usually waves out her kitchen window.) I’m in awe of her garden not only because it’s gorgeous, but because it’s thrived in spite of having to endure the hottest, driest, most…
Fall at the Farmers’ Market
Today’s run started at our little downtown Farmers’ Market — and gee whiz, it looks like The Great Pumpkin blew though here since last week! The early morning light was so perfect. I wish I would’ve had my real camera with me! But it was worth resorting to the iPhone because this was my longest run…
Monday
These little clover puffs are sweet, even when they’re withered.
hey there, friends
