What's happening here?

If you are still signed up to read this blog by email or in a feed reader, you may see some activity here and wonder what is going on. I've been going through these posts, starting at the very beginning of this blog in  2006. 

I am migrating some posts to a new location (Lavender Highway.) The posts I'm moving contain stories that I want to put into a book for my kids and anyone else who wants a copy. The remainder of Prairie Bluestem's posts will remain here. I hope eventually to go through them also and repair broken links, remove posts that have become obsolete, etc.

Meanwhile, please visit Lavender Highway and read these stories again if you want. Also, if you have comments, please feel free to post them!

I'm going to be 69 at the end of this month, and I don't want to wait much longer to get these writings gathered and organized. One reason I'm using a blog to help me is that I think tagging the posts by topic will make it easier to create a simple index for the book.

Misty Moon and Mimosa

Misty moon through tree branches

Click on the photo to take a look at tonight's moon-rise. Listen to the crickets and tree-frogs chirping, swat a mosquito, and feel a gentle current of cool night air on your cheek. That's Kentucky in early June. (I found that I had written this, saved it, and never posted it. So here it is.)

CONTENTMENT: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry, live simply, expect little, give much, sing often, pray always, forget self, think of others and their feelings, fill your heart with love, scatter sunshine. These are the tried links in the golden chain of contentment.

IT IS STILL BEST to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasure; and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.
(Laura Ingalls Wilder, 1867-1957)
