Where has the day gone, as I sit and ponder the events of the day, I realized the time comes and goes so quickly, one minute it is time to get up and before I know it, it is time to call it a day. I have learned over time to try to live each moment with intent and purpose, yet no matter the day/night, when I actually stop to take in the moment.. I am surprised that much of the time came and went, and I am still looking at NOW.

I was showing this picture to a friend last night, and she remarked that it was interesting how there were no windows on the upper floor. I had not noticed when I took the picture, I was intrigued when she pointed that out, All of a sudden I had a storyline forming … and knew that many of you with creative imaginations for a harlequin romance… could have some fun with the possibilities. I searched my many photos for another view of that house.. came up empty. Spark any ideas out there?
