Fall in St. Johns

This scene in my backyard made me smile: a living, blooming flower amidst the snow.
Only in St. Johns can you get such different ends of the weather spectrum within days. I love it. It keeps me guessing and on my toes. Flip flops or my winter coat? Turn on the AC or build a fire? Lemonade or hot chocolate?
Like Forrest Gump said, "You never know what you're gonna get."

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blog

Sigh.

I have nothing about which to blog. I'm not saying my life isn't full of experiences - the good, the bad, and the ugly. In fact, my existence offers moments upon moments of joy, sadness, anger, and amusement. I just don't see most of these times as blog-worthy. Perhaps I am just uninspired by my current goings-on.

Or - Oh, perish the thought! - am I just BLAH?

I mean, does anyone really care what I ate for lunch? I wolfed down, and I mean w.o.l.f.e.d. down, two of the best-ever wheat rolls, made by my bread-making friend who would win a yellow fair ribbon easily with these.

Does anyone care that the football teams for whom I fervently cheer are not doing all that well right now? I need more Tums to get through this season.

Does anyone care that I made up a great recipe for crab quesadillas last night? They were yummy.

Does anyone care that I am quite enjoying creating and delivering sugar cookies? The looks on the recipients' embarrassed faces entertain me to no end.

I am busy. I have a wonderful life. My days are full of love and laughter. I don't need to blog, or tweet tweet tweet, or put my face in a "book" to know that, nor to tell others that. Still, I eagerly await that time when something happens - something major, something that causes a pensive mood, something heart-wrenching or gut-busting - that time which will bring me out of this blah blah blah blah blog funk.

Until then...
