Kammie’s Oddball Challenge: Cab

Standard

My neighbor’s son drives for a transport company, so it’s not unusual to find a big rig parked in our cul-de-sac.

More Oddballs.

Kammie’s Oddball Challenge: Dugout

Standard

One day last March, I dug out these four little palm trees that had sprouted up among the bushes. Sadly, it was one of the highlights of 2020.

God says to you, “I love you, I am with you, I want to see you come closer to me and experience the joy and peace of my presence. I want to give you a new heart and a new spirit. . . Just trust me and let me be your God.”

Favorite Photos of 2020

Standard

At the end of every year, I like to post my favorite photos that I’ve taken during the year. In the past, I’ve walked almost every day, and I often take my camera with me. This year, my walking habit stopped abruptly when Greg got home after his surgery and rehab. He needs my help getting ready in the morning, and that comes at the expense of other things. My daily walk is something I hope to reinstate in 2021.

Most years, I work hard to cull down to 10 or so pictures for this annual post. This year, I don’t even have 10 good photos to pick from. Most of these shots have appeared on my blog recently, even though they were all taken in March.

I captured this rainbow from the window of Greg’s hospital room:

The rest were captured on two separate walks through the neighborhood:
