I'm over at Wicked Writers today, talking about my upcoming career plans. Come on over for a visit: WICKED WRITERS
The countdown to Semper Audacia's release has begun
Speaking of coming attractions ... sometimes we can't see the consequences of what lies ahead from what we do. Sometimes, something marvelous happens though. A seed brings something unexpected. What treasured days those are.
The husband unit and I put a bird feeder in the backyard, and a whole forest of sunflowers sprang up.
I've begun posting a daily moon / observatory photo on Twitter. Another seed with unexpected results.
In other news, RIP Andy Whitfield. What a damned shame. Condolences to his wife and family. I was so saddened to hear he lost his battle with lymphoma. I lost a sister-in-law to it about five years ago and a good high school friend to Hodgkins. Andy was the star of Spartacus.

I love sunflowers. I'll stop by the other blog and visit you there, too. Have a great weekend.
Too bad about the actor. He was smokin' hot too.
I've never been a fan of sunflowers but its funny that they grew because of the bird feeder droppings.
New and unexpected life while we mourn our losses. And the wheel turns.
Hi,
A spark of sunshine from the earth: love bird seed feeders. One never knows what will spring up from discarded seed.
Have a nice weekend. Off to other blog now. ;)

Hello Mary:
Little surprises, such as the unexpected sunflowers round and about the bird feeder, are, we believe, some of life's greatest joys for they bring such pleasure.
Returning from the Balaton by train on Wednesday afternoon, we noted that all the fields of sunflowers, one of Hungary's principal crops, had all been harvested. A sure sign that summer is over.
That was the saddest news about that guy.
I'll check out your other post. :)
Lovely sunflowers! I grew some a few years back, intentionally but could never actually get the seeds. I think squirrels were robbing me! lol Hope to drop by the other blog later.
Beautiful flowers, I bet that was a happy surprise! And sad about Andy. RIP.
I love sunflowers and those are beautiful!
Bird feeders and sunflowers. Every backyard should have them.
I love the sunflowers. And I did hear about Andy. That was too bad. I liked him.
I'll do a big shout out for your book next week!
Beautiful flowers. I need some in my yard. The lady who owned our house before us had a purple theme going on. I don't know what they are, but they're all purple!
Have a good weekend!
Those are beautiful flowers! :)
Awwww, that's so sad...
The flowers, however, are gorgeous!
And I love the countdown widget!
Pretty! And yeah, I was startled then really upset about Andy Whitfield. He was too young to die. And I love Spartacus. No one can ever really take his place.
Looking forward to your picks for the blogfest on Monday!
Beautiful of you to commemorate the life of another on your blog, M.
What a shame about Whitfield. My mom is a Lymphoma survivor, and I'm so grateful she beat the disease.
Love your sunflower pictures! What a beautiful, if unexpected, development.
Congrats again on Semper Audacia, the countdown is exciting!! :D
I like sunflowers. They make me smile. :)
I think I remember hearing he had lymphoma when the movie was being released and he was in remission I believe. I'm so sad to hear he lost his battle with it.
Those sunflowers are beautiful. So unexpected, too.
Congrats on the new book! I'll have to spotlight you on the Imaginarium soon.
I was very sad to hear about Andy, as well. He was too young.
I accepted your award and gave you a shout out. Thanks again!
We put peanuts out for the squirrels. They take them away and stash them, so I keep hoping a peanut bush (tree? vine?) will grow, but I don't think Seattle is the right climate for it... :P
A forest of sunflowers! How cool!
Love the sunflower!
There is an award waiting for you at http://imagine-today1.blogspot.com/
Bird feeders are great - I have them in my backyard too:)
It is so sad to hear about Andy Whitfield...
