love and other drugs....


happy halloween

BOO


i know i've been quiet here with my words lately, but they just haven't been coming to me easily. sometimes when they do show up, all bedraggled and weepy looking, but with the highest expectations, i've been very protective of them and haven't felt like they've been the right words to share. instead, they've needed to be held with all the motherly and womanly love i can give them and then scrutinized closely, yet gently.


when i'm quiet here, i usually disappear from the blog world completely. this time though, i've been reading most of your blogs, but often, the words for even the simplest comments are missing. i'm sorry. please know that i hope this changes soon. come on november...revitalize me.

yesterday, by late morning, a migraine had taken over my head. by three, my hubby was home to take care of me. there's no doubt in my mind that his presence and his dinner made me feel better. granted, i finally succumbed to a hydrocodone tablet shortly after he got home, since the naratriptin wasn't working, but i still think he had something to do with it. 


in the afternoon, i do almost anything i can to make sure i watch "ellen." yesterday she had an amazing singer/rapper on whose words and video blew me away. i understand that by sharing him here, i could offend some of you and possibly lose you as readers or followers, but i'm willing to take that chance.
i hope you take the time to watch this video.


i have so many fall photos. some that should have been shown here when they were more "weather appropriate," like before all the leaves disappeared, but sometimes, my cup runneth over.


happy hump halloween day
and yes, in case you're wondering, candy corn {in october only} is one of the food groups

  1. sorry to hear about your migraine, which
    probably has everything to do with your
    need for 'quiet.'

    i get them, too, and they can be soooo
    debilitating. hope you feel better soon.
    my sister told me that an ER doc warms
    his patients hands and feet, which draws
    the blood from the head.

    now, i make sure to never let my hands
    and feet get cold.

  3. Beth, be gentle with yourself. You and your family have been through a lot lately. I loved all your images, but my absolute fave is the one of the lighthouse and sailboat. Take care of yourself, my friend!

  4. Beautiful series of shots... especially love the first of the gourds... so sorry about your migraine... I used to get them (for about 45 years) but thankfully they are a thing of the past... hope you find some relief.

  5. boo for migraines. hope it is better today.

    these photos are all just fabulous.

    and sometimes, you just have to let your words rest until they are ready yo come out and play. or sing, or jump up and down.

  6. I believe in gay marriage....and i'm not gay...i've been married to the same wonderful man for 23 years...who does not share my views on this....he's entitled to his own opinion ..but so am i..my daughter agrees with me but for different reasons.....her lovely logical self thinks of the financial reasons...that gays should be allowed to marry to receive certain benefits given to married couples me? I'm ruled more by my heart............

    If you are lucky enough to find someone who loves you back as much as you love them and you want to spend the rest of your life together it should not matter the color of your skin, your religion nor your gender....love is so difficult to find in this world...true love....when you find it, embrace it and never let it go...Hugs! deb

  10. Sometimes we just have to hibernate a bit. I'm starting to stretch my way out of my break and it's good to see you're still here posting beautiful images and inspiring words...even when they are few they are comforting.

  11. Love the video and the music. Liam and some of his buddies are going to see them here in a couple of weeks.

    Migraine..Ugh. But you have such a good nurse and when you're feeling down to begin with and the pounding begins, it's comfort from one who loves you that helps you to heal.

    Loving your photographs and understanding the words not coming...I'm still a bit like that myself..and we'll come through this. Be good to you. xo

  12. Oh, Beth. I can so relate to how you feel about your writing here. I get that way from time to time, too. And even with the comments when I visit other blogs, I understand. The thoughts and words just don't come.
    Offended? Are you kidding? I thought the video was lovely. And I do hope that your head and your soul feel better soon. As always, your images are divine.

  28. Hate to hear you had another terrible migraine. Sure wish you could find out what triggers them! Beautiful photos and I thought the video was beautiful. Thanks for sharing it. I love Ellen, but she comes at a different time here now and I never get to see her!

  29. Beautiful nature photos. Hope you feel better soon.

    Our sunflowers are wildflowers that grow very tall in the fall. The daisies (maybe like your prairieflowers) bloom in spring and are shorter. The sunflowers do follow the sun. I've seen they grow to over 8-12 feet tall.
