My friend Jerry has a magnificent green thumb and he informed me earlier this week that he had some lovely Virginia Bluebells currently in bloom. He wasn't home when I happened by, so I snuck into his garden and found blue flowers in a bell shape. Hope these are indeed bluebells. The true blue of the flowers is difficult to capture digitally. The photograph above shows them more purple than they are in real life. Imagine a Carolina blue sky but a bit softer (no polarizing filter added) and that is the color of these bluebells.
Posting on this blog is the last thing I do before sleep and then depart for Beaufort way-too-early in the morning tomorrow. It is at this point in voyages I usually get a bit anxious about leaving home, my husband and daughter, my dog, my cat, etc. I worry about forggetting something of extreme importance. I already regret that I'm gonna miss two of my daughter's softball games and oh my, she has so many tests this week. How will she manage without me? Just let me vent right now...because I know that by Tuesday afternoon I will have the salty scent of sea air permeating my soul and all my worries will vanish. Ahh, the relaxation of having 36 8th graders for company :-)
One last thought....I'm gonna miss all of ya'll. Over the past 6 months, there have been precious few days that I haven't peeped into your lives and on this trip I won't have an opportunity to post or peep. But, keep postin' cause I intend to play catch up!
Au revoir!
