Day 269

Today the simplest little things make me weep. 

Sweet little weed flowers


Busy little ants...even though the ant guy had to come for the annual "keep-'em-out" spray job today.


People far more articulate than myself have blogged about the oil spill.  But when I see these little things today, it breaks my heart for all the little things, as well as the obviously more noticeable things, that are being lost.

And I have an almost irresistable urge to grab some soap and go on a road trip to help.

But I can't.

So I pray.

And wipe my misty eyes.

And think about these little, seemingly inconsequental, things and how much I appreciate

even those pesky ants

a little more these days.

I know, Sweetie...I feel the same way. It's unbearable watching the news...those images stay with me for hours afterward.

I was thinking this as a tourist ad came on for Massachusetts...showing the white, sandy beaches. So sad.

When I hear BP talking about making it right, I wonder what they mean. Not in my lifetime... not those wetlands.

So, so sad!

it is a disaster isn't it! So sorry for the loss of such wonderful wetlands. We had a similar though nowhere near as devestating spill recently. Your pics are wonderful though and the spice ones great.
