These Dutch irises are absolutely my favorite flower on the planet. I wish my whole yard was filled with them and I would be happy if they flowered the whole year round. But they don’t. They’re only out for such a short period of time. But they are so incredibly, breathtakingly beautiful.

Day 223 – Blue Wren Bench
I had a big, busy day today. I don’t even know what I feel as I sit here today. I’m not happy, not sad. It’s just really nice to be sitting somewhere that is quiet and peaceful where I can let it all settle.
Day 222 – Private Bench
It’s misty this morning, but it’s a high mist and I can see the sun trying to shine through. When I got here today, I startled a family of wood ducks. They were just hiding in the bank under the Bench. There was the two parents and ten little fluffy ducklings. You can see them […]
Day 221 – Blue Wren Bench
The other day, I sat on this Bench, and I took a photo of the bright green, fresh leaves instead of the dead shrub with the shriveled up brown leaves. I so wanted to be like the fresh leaves. I didn’t want to feel or be like the dead bush. Then today, I sat down […]
Day 220 – Northern Bench
We saw Edward today. He was very close. We fed him some oats. He’s such a beautiful duck.
Day 219 – Switchback Bench
Sitting on the Bench today, I’ve been thinking about life and thinking about how it’s a constant series of challenges. It’s one thing after another. Everything is speeding up and sometimes I feel like I’m kind of waiting for it to change or slow down. And you know what, I don’t think it’s going to. […]
Day 218 – Blue Wren Bench
I’m on Blue Wren Bench. It’s a beautiful sunny day. Today’s a bit of a landmark day for me because I’ve decided to put my name, a photo and a bio on this blog. I’ve always been really quite a shy person. I like to keep a low profile on social media in general. I […]
Day 217 – Northern Bench
My son brought me these two leaves. He said he liked the colors. And now he’s going to race them down the river and see which one wins.
Day 216 – Blue Wren Bench
It’s a tough day on the Bench today. I feel so negative. I feel so hopeless. I feel so angry. I wish my body was healthy. I’m sick and tired of it not being. I couldn’t decide what to take a picture of. I thought about taking a picture of one of these shrubs that […]
Day 215 – Private Bench
It’s a beautiful afternoon with the ducks gliding by on the river. The river is up again. It’s quite full. It’s not around the legs of Private Bench yet though. I love it when it’s up.
