Good Afternoon, Gentle Readers! This especial image was an attempt to more or less recreate Gemlight only with various shades of green instead of the reds and blues I usually favor. As usual, it didn't come out quite as planned. But it has given me a few ideas.

It is Friday again, and my husband is home to recover from his work week. I don't know that we will get any of the things done that we planned to do: We had a few storms yesterday, including one that blinked the power. And the sky is starting to turn cloudy again. But we have time to do and to think- and sometimes that is enough.

Sometimes it isn't: Thoughts can be marvelous things, but they're like spinning your wheels if no action comes of it. If you really think about it, every single invention we have- including the computer you are using to view this post- is the result of a thought given actual physical form, While we sometimes should be cautious about what we do, it is a certain amount of bold courage is needed to actually become great.
