Today, in 1863, Lincoln Gave the Gettysburg Address
"Four score and seven years ago", a speech by President Abraham Lincoln at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, a few months after the Battle of Gettysburg, one of the turning points of the Civil War.

My heart is crying for the United States of America, Ukraine, and South Africa. The two leaders from the USA and SA, is not taking up their responsibility to fight corruption, rather they let people fight each other, while the Ukraine has the only president who fights among his people for freedom.

Welcome one and all my new followers, I just short about 23 then I would also have a good number of people that I'm following. For those who didn't make it, your profile picture must have a picture of you on it, not an emoji or strange pictures, and people flaunting the want for sex you're blocked.

What do you call a white creeping rose that is showing it can have single buds as well as clustered buds? Just a rose. And the insects, love it, especially the bees.

A brown iris.
One can see Spring is slowly waning, although we have had a lot of rain, in my neck of valley, which is strange for this time of year.

A climbing white rose.
Early Spring flowers are starting to die, while others are starting to bloom.
The vegetable garden is also growing along nicely.

I always wonder why it's called Moses In A Basket, I don't see any baskets nearby. And some bug had a munch of the flower petals, perhaps it was something tasty.

Existence - 11/10/2025
Every story worth telling
exists within something new,
riverboats flowing down rivers
candles burning wax falling skew.
Your mind a paper of thoughts,
animals greet with a howl or a scowl
fishes caught in a tidal pool,
hazy clouds to stare at not for a howl.

Sparks In Silence - 11/10/2025
Slowing down the streets run uneven,
moisture fills the air like car fumes,
escape to green space protection,
noticing time not a reason given.
Ignite
land bright
move forward fight.
Cold brings softness in the weather,
chasing summer away,
a heart inside heather.

I am as random as random can be.
Sometimes I wonder how true that actually is.
You should see me when I am working the garden, it takes me a few hours to make up mind whether I want to keep a certain weed or pull it all out. Then again wait it has a flower, now where is my camera?

Writers get your pens and thinking hats for some inspiration...
The sea never stands still. The golden glow of the setting sun met the waves for just a second.
Why can't I find inspiration like this when I really have to write? Why do I need to read on it on Bluesky updates?

Story begins...
"It was a dark and stormy night..."
The 5th book I've read starting so, the authors are not related in any way, although 2 know about each other.
Really wondering why people can't find other words to describe a storm.
Maybe... Thunder and lightning ricochets from the sky.

Day sinks softly without a sound.
