I cannot believe that in less than three years...

I am here, today...

Thanks to all of you for your attention, your support, your love...

To celebrate, here are some pictures I took today...

A few flowers and one stained glass window that glows in my family room...

I love you all!

6. oh my darlin'

Darlin Peggy, rockin' the milestone :headbang: :hug:

That window is so many pieces, I love it! It speaks to me, it says "get away from the computer and go finish some stained glass"

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. My dear stuntcat!

Thank you, darlin'!

The lady who made the window said it was more like making jewelry than anything else...

It took her about six years to complete!

Our older daughter designed it, and we love it!

I cannot believe my milestone...

WOW 50,000 posts, and 49,999 of them awesome poems!!!!
You are the best
:hug: :hug: :hi:


"The mind of man has always longed to know what lies beyond the world we live in. Explorers have ventured into the depths and heights. Of these explorers, some are scientists, some are mystics. Each is driven by a different purpose. The one thing they share in common is a wish to cross the borderlands that lie beyond the land of CaliforniaPeggy..."

70. My dear Parche!

Awww...

Sweetie!

I don't really think I've posted quite that many poems!

Thank you...

[RushIsRot]

72. Is that mahonia in your yard?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

73. My dear RushIsRot...

I'm assuming you mean the last picture?

No, it's not mine...

I saw it as my husband and I were out for a walk...

It was cascading over a neighbor's wall...

Very eye-catching!

There are flowers here in SoCal, even in January!

:hi:

[RushIsRot]

76. No, the mahonia was the one with the leaves like holly and

yellow flowers. It used to grow in a park in Louisiana and it also bloomed in the winter. I wondered about it for years and finally someone told me what it was. It is also called Oregon grape I think.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

77. Ah, yes...

That plant is not mahonia...

I don't know the name of it but it's a succulent...

Rather like a Christmas cactus...

It was in our local botanical garden...

[RushIsRot]

80. I live and learn. :-)

[Debi]
