Yesterday was a beautiful sunny, warm day here in West Tennessee. While I was out for an afternoon stroll, I noticed some wildflowers blooming that I don’t usually expect to see in November. The warm temperatures this autumn have them all confused. With a cold front rolling in this week, this is probably the last I’ll see of these pretty blooms for a while, but it was nice to have one last nice day to enjoy them.
“I have never been lost, but I will admit to being confused for several weeks.” ~Daniel Boone
“Courage does not always roar – sometimes it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying I will try again tomorrow.” ~Unknown
