  • Welcome Warmth

        The sun came back and warmed our hearts and toes!   Where have you been? We've missed you! Yes, of course, you were there all along, it was those pesky clouds blocking the view and the heat. They're gone now and it's warm and lovely.   Thank you!     Last night's sunset…

  • When Pigs Fly

        Have you done something impossible recently?   You must have, because this was in the sky, just the other night.   The sky does not lie.         "When pigs fly." From the archives of LainesBlog, February, 2013.    

  • Sea Smoke

        When warm(ish) salty water meets the cold night air, there is a mist that calls to the soul like the sirens of myths and fantasy.   No danger to the land lubber, just a reminder that this is heaven now.       Yesterday's sunrise, caught lovingly by David Gardner © 2014. Thanks…

  • Weather

        Weather is everywhere and everyone talks about it. Where does it come from? What will it be today? Tonight? Tomorrow?   It's great fun, (with the right clothes!)   In the old days, you could dial a number on your phone for the forecast. Today we have "The Weather Channel."   When all…

  • Have Fun

        Remember to have fun today. Even if you are doing something really really serious, have fun. Make an inside joke just for you to smile at!       A couple of kids and a bunch of sea gulls on a pretty misty gray day, having fun! St. Augustine Beach.    

  • Oasis

        Oasis, do you have one, or a shelter from the storm?   When we learn to create these in our own hearts, life gets much simpler, and dare I say – easier.     St. Augustine Beach, last October with a waning moon.        

  • Old Year, New Year…

        The past is just a goodbye,   A dream already dreamt.   The future a dream coming true.   Happy Dreams to all!     St. Augustine Beach, and sea oats sunset!       

  • Waves

        Where waves break, souls are mended.           Found this quote without an author at the shop where I work, Expressions in St. Augustine and it was true on the Cape and equally true here in my adopted Florida home.  

  • Go Slow!

        Once again, it is that time of year when people are driving really really badly. So, go slow, pay attention and watch out for the other guy.   For whatever reason, she/he is having a really bad day.   Let the fun begin!        

  • Thanksgiving

                  This post is recycled from 2011, with a few changes, but all in all the gratitude is still the same! Happy Thanksgiving!
