In response to "Buzzing Bumbles and Soaking Rains "

I had the most amazing experience with a honey bee. I was sitting outside when I was still in Jersey. A honey bee was flitting around my strawberry plants and I was waiting to water the plant after the bee moved. It finally did and when I began watering it came back and flew in and out of the spray. When I stopped it landed on my hand with the hose in it. I didn't dare move. For those few seconds I felt the bees energy. The wings were like a soft caress.
I don't know if it was the same bee that visited again when I watered but the bee was never afraid of me.

Watching the monsoon from indoors must be some experience! Coffee and a good book is always a nice choice. I like rain and sunshine, both in bearable doses, however.

Don't worry about a prayer limit, there isn't one. We could say a thousand prayers a day for a year and still not reach a prayer limit. God's mercy is unlimited and so is the amount of prayers we say.

Awww! Northeast Spring! Lucky you!

You took me back to 30 plus years ago, plus the five senses...
Everything seemed to come alive after the cold winters, there.

And yes, I used to love autumn, too. We don't have that array of colors when the leaves are changing here in down south, at all. I think I miss northern autumns more than its springs.

In response to "Pies and Intimidation "

I've worked with a lot of men over the years, I found they appreciated me being open about what I knew and what I didn't.

Lemon meringue and key lime were my grammy's specialty. I never mastered making them myself. I agree with your hubby about Maine blueberries, they're the best. I'm prejudice about blueberries, I'm a Mainer or as we call ourselves Mainacs.

In response to "Pies and Intimidation "

I had a hard time to figure out what intimidates me, also, and I could only point a finger to myself.
Working with men has its good points, I think. Mostly, anyway. In my dealings with men, I found out that they appreciated it when I told the truth instead of faking any know-how.

It is no fun to be intimidated by people. Working with men. That would be rough. Good entry.

In response to "Truths & Leap Year Musing "

The love between a mother and child is phenomenal. A gift that never stops giving and receiving.

My friend was born on leap year in 1956. She celebrates more on the 28th but when it's a leap year, she has two birthday celebrations with different cakes and friends. She says it's a double dose of joy.

In response to "February Musings & Nature's Perserverance "

I am fascinated by thunderstorms. Nature is relentless and persists. Good call

In response to "Tears and Stars to Bring Life Forward "

Sometimes, tears are good and necessary for the soul.
You cried at your friend's performance because you have a great heart and you felt empathy for her.

PROMPT May 8th
In the future, if space travel became possible, would you want to go? What would most influence your decision whether or not to leave Earth?

I have never been as captivated by space, by the limitless of the universe as so many people are. I am largely a grounded child of Earth. I work in aviation and oddly enough, I do not even enjoy flying much. I understand the appeal of flying. I love seeing the passion our clients have for it but it doesn't spark the same desire for me. If I am mildly uncomfortable with my trips up into the blue, then I finding myself in the resounding vastness of
space feels like it would be down right panic-inducing.

I appreciate the incredibly beauty of the solar system. I marvel at the images of Earth from space, that impossible sphere of swirling blues and greens. I love the suggestion that we are not alone, that there is life "out there". I find that fascinating. I would just defer the discoveries to other people, those who have less reservations about leaving the ground.

Without a doubt, I believe that someday commercial exploration of space will become a viable option for those that can afford it. It is just not anything I would put on my own bucket list.
