but that we practice it. Happy Independence Day!"

"It was a summer of wistaria. The twilight was full of it and of the smell of his father's cigar as they sat on the front gallery after supper...while in the deep shaggy lawn below the veranda fireflies blew and drifted in soft random."
William Faulkner
Wistaria or Wisteria? I get stuck on things like that.
Curiosity, and Faulkner's unique writing style.
in short he preferred wistaria over wisteria.

not what catches your eyes.

In life we have two choices really.
Wait for that special day
or celebrate every day as special.
Thanks for stopping by your visits mean the world to me.
Take good care of you.

So profound!
I love the quotes and your photos!
Huge thanks.
I try and find the special in every day - and celebrate it.
Much as I like and admire Faulkener's writing I lean towards wisteria - and would prefer its scent to that of a cigar.
You've opened our eyes today...every last word is poignant and much needed for these times!

Either way Wistaria or Wisteria, for me it's Wisteria, I can't wait for mine to bloom In spring. Love all your gorgeous critters Karen. Have a happy new week ahead 💙
"Celebrate every day as special" - I love that, Karen!
how fun to see the Swedish "Dalahäst" among your photos. Saying "Hemslöjd" on it.
