Sibling Time

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family, Travel, Writing/ 6 Comments/ 265

My family is VERY important to me. My siblings have become increasingly vital to my life especially after the death of my mom in 2020. I see so many families who have real rifts and it just makes me sad. I can just not imagine Continue reading →

It’s About Blooming Time!

Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Photography/ 10 Comments/ 542

I don’t claim to be a good gardener and with all of the plant loving critters that live in our yard and forest it is a constant battle to keep any plants looking decent. So when my front yard looks good, I have to gloat Continue reading →

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
