What Inspires You Wedsneday

 
 
A Little Book
 
My mother gave me a book recently. I looked at it and knew immediately that I'd originally given it to her. She said, "I thought you'd 'use' this more than I do."
 
Well, let me just say.....I give good gifts. This book is a gem. The verse, the illustrations. All of it.
 

 
The Country Diary of An Edwardian Lady by Edith Holden. They call it 'a facsimile reproduction of a naturalist's diary' and was first published in 1977. It's just lovely.



It makes me want to keep my own 'naturalist's diary'.

Something else that is inspiring me today is people's resolve and strength.  The tornado that tore through Moore, OK this week was incredibly destructive. Unfathomably destructive. Yet the people there- despite all they've lost- say,"We will rebuild. We will get through this." People who face adversity head on are undeniably inspiring. My thoughts are with them.

I hope you're having a great day. Pretty darn gray again here.  We had a good lashing of rain as we went to be last night, complete with thunder and lightning. It's damp and ugly today.  On the bright side, it sure will make everything pop when the sun comes back out.

Ciao for now,
