I can't wait until Saturday!
I'm going to jump out of bed, into my jeans and drive twohours away to the "Little Smokies" of Ohio where I will meet up with women I never met before for a Wild Woman Wild Flower weekend.
And you thought it was the World Wide Wrestling Federation.

I do know one of the women: the hostess. She has this little retreat cabin and a ministry to help people get back to God through time in the Word in nature and solitude. She's invited six women she knows for this weekend, and I'm happy to be one of them. We'll take various hikes and have some quiet times. It'll be great.
Here's her website:

I hope to have some pictures for you next week.

WRITING UPDATE: On Friday I took a good look at the Ruth manuscript. I marked chapters that needed extensive work, and those that just needed a little. If I continue with the one day/week schedule I'm looking at another six months. I'm fine with that. In the meantime, Tom and I need to seriously discuss going forward with a widow's blog. That would be a long-term daily commitment so please pray about that decision for us. Isaiah 50:4 and Exodus 4:12 are two verses God put in my face when I was asking Him about it. I'm no Isaiah or Moses, but I'm just making myself available to see what God wants.

Tom was burning some brush at the back of our lot early this evening. I walked back there to talk to him, and lo and behold---a big wild turkey came walking out of the woods on the lot across from us! I thought maybe he smelled the smoke and decided to check it out. And he didn't seem in too much of a hurry, but he picked up the pace when he saw us. A minute later, we saw some more movement where the turkey was, and a coyote peered over at us. He turned around after eyeballing us. I think maybe he was following that meaty looking turkey. I never know what I'll see out here!   And this little thing was inside the screened-in porch today. The green anole made it out alive yesterday, so I guess word is out---Fud isn't a threat! Those are NOT my fingers in the picture.

Me? A Fan? Could Be!

Jennifer Lawrence interview on David Letterman HD - November 20, 2013 I've never been a fan of a real-life movie star (Bambi isn't real). But after watching this interview last night I just might! This girl's hilarious!

New Pets

My garden failed in everything except a pot of parsley. Last week I noticed tiny green beads stuck to the parsley leaves, and a few days later some small black caterpillars, and now.... PETS! Yep. Pet caterpillars. Not Monarchs, though. They kind of look like the Monarch butterfly caterpillar, but these are Black Swallowtail butterfly caterpillars. Love the parsley. They totally destroyed my plant so I bought them some from the grocery store. I put the stems in a cup of water and it's holding up well enough---at the rate they're going they might eat it all before it wilts anyway! I wish I'd taken their pictures on Wednesday when they were less than 1" long. Now they're a good 2" long. Let me introduce you:   This one is named Parsley. Start up the music for Scarborough Fair. Sage. Rose, Mary, and And (yes, one of them is named And. Scroll down and see if you guessed why I named it And). Thymes Seven. Yes, this last one is named S...
