Leftovers in their less visible form are called memories. Stored in the refrigerator of the mind and cupboard of the heart.

According to the authors of the book The Secret Language of Birthdays, December 7th is the Day of Idiosyncrasy. Those born on this day are said to consider themselves different or peculiar or just plain weird.

Borderline
Last night while I was sleeping the pond, the woods, and the meadows disappeared into mystical, magical fog, altering the landscape and moving the boundaries. When I walked around the pond and into the woods this morning, I, too, vanished into the mist, wandering in a world that was familiarly unfamiliar.

One of the reasons I love visiting the Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus, Ohio, is the Chihuly glass. For those inquiring minds that want to know, you are allowed to take photographs as long as you are not going to sell the photographs. I have promised not to sell them, and I make a grand total of absolutely nothing on my blog, so I won’t be profiting from them in any way.

I took a quick trip to visit my granddaughters and their parents. Did you miss me? Bet you didn’t even realize I’d gone away. That’s how quick it was. M and I left yesterday afternoon and returned late this afternoon. We drove south through torrential rain, found the land of sunshine as we got further south, then came home through torrential rain only to meet more torrential rain along the way, and got home in time for even more torrential rain because this The Bogs, where precipitation likes to fall. You can’t say the weather isn’t interesting around here.
