Bio
'Better to light a small torch than curse the darkness!!" I am a nature lover, a friend of my mother the earth, and an avid outdoorswoman. I love the early morning, and all the time in between. Every new day brings opportunities, and every day I am still breathing and not being shot at is a good day. I write for fun, and if I have lifted your spirits or brightened your day I have did very well. Find peace this day and every day!

Jus' a hillbilly a wandering

Fleein' the worst Recession

Lookin' like the Great Depression

Tales told

From the Folk

Not so long ago

I have left the Georgia mountains and moved to the Clearwater/St Peterburg area. I decided if starvation was imminent, I prefer warm to cold!!! I am not truly staving. I go sign up for Food Stamps here tomorrow. I already got them in Georgia when I left there last Friday.
Jus' a hillbilly a wandering
Zippin' down the interstate
Runnin' fast on low energy
Hopin' for a better life
Feelin' quite like an Okie from the Midwest
Goin' down to Florida
Lookin' for a better chance
Than the tales
Told by the Folks
Told so long

Ago

I have a beach report for today's weather here. Sunny, warm 88F with an ocean breeze of ten miles an hour from the west. I went to a beach today. 'Tis a smallish state park here called Weedon Island. Contains a large wetland/mudsand tital flat and many waterbirds. I think there are actually some ugly birds here. I never thought I would look at a bird and consider it ugly, but good lord some of these birds here are jus' plum ugly. I saw one today that looks like some inbred dinosaur. He was jus' ugly. There is even ugly ducks here. I would have never thought of seeing a ugly duck.

I am going to volunteer at Weedon Island. I got plenty of time right now, and I like to volunteer. It is an excellent way to meet people who like doing to same things you do. I highly recommend it. I always try to do volunteer work in My favorite park. You learn much and also learn to hate plastic shopping bags. Wait till you try to remove them from tree branches. It is not a pretty sight.

Lookin' for a new life

New beginnin's are always nice

New hopes, new foundations

Next?

Who knows

Which way to bow

To the winds

Yep. Warm is preferable to cold . . . and glad you're going to where it's warm. I hate to think of you cold, Mission - shivering is no way to spend a winter.
Warm is much better than cold, that's for sure. Hope you land in a good place and that you're happy and healthy. Big hugs to you!
Weedon Island, eh?! I'll have to google that one. The Eagle has landed! Glad to hear you had a safe trip. Cold front coming through, though. Gonna get down to 65 at night. Brrrr.
Happy New Beginnings to you!
It's in the forties here in Chicago. And wet. Sounds like you have a good plan. Enjoy.
Ugly birds and all, the ocean breeze beats the still, steamy air anyday.

Enjoy your new digs, lady. Watch out for those ugly gators though :-)
Git some sand between yer toes. ;-)
Oh ya! You're gonna need to change your avatar and give us a pic of your Florida beach someday too.
Moving exhausts. Bask in the warmth and the new a little.
The modem broke at my new home and I am at the local library here.
I cannot respond to all the comments but love to send a warm Florida hug to you all.
The cold front did come thru Michael, my new neighbor. I got on long sleeves for the first time today.
Glad you made it, Mission. Hope you've lined up a bunch of Midnight Rodeos to attend. Do they have rodeos in FL?
I am sure they do have rodeos John.
I have not been out looking for one yet. I like 'em at Midnight under the full moon and it has been full lately. Must be time to look!
Glad to see the Honorable mayor!
I am glad to hear that you're well and living somewhere more amenable.
I am Emma and at least they got a free clinic here. I have not had time to go yet but am planning a trip.
I can stay warm and fed here, with a clean place to stay as well.
