It's very unusual to have rain this late in the year here.
It's cold and drippy, and feels like February!

I'm not sure why we (humans) get so crazy about 'biggest' things that are only slightly larger than 'normal.'
For instance, here's a nice comparison between a 'supermoon' and the smallest that the moon appears… I would dare you to be able to walk out on a particular night not knowing whether you're seeing super or mini…and be able to tell the difference just by looking.
So, what's this obsession we have with 'biggest' things?

Super Moon and Mini-Moon
On March 19th, lots of people heard about the so-called Super Moon. The Super Moon was a full Moon that occurred when the Moon was closest to Earth in its elliptical orbit. Therefore, it appeared …

I've never forgotten what +Colby Brown taught me…if you can't find inspiration in your back yard, you're not trying hard enough.
(In this case, it's my front yard)
I live in the home where my parents lived for 23 years…and they planted these daisies, which make their appearance at the end of the driveway each year without fail. Mom watered them faithfully, and they remind me of her whenever I arrive back home.
