Credit for....


Today I spent a great deal of time weighing options.   There's an author, L.M. Montgomery, who captured so beautifully in one of her simple character's learnings, maturation, story arc the debate I had with myself today.   One of her characters was prone to talking a lot....and one of the other characters was trying to challenge this character to speak less, think more...and the character responded back with something the the effect of, "if you only knew how much I wanted to say and didn't, you'd give me some credit." (Anne of Green Gables, and Marilla just in case it wasn't obvious enough who I was referring to.) :)

After careful thought, and Romans 14, I have decided not to post the blog I wrote earlier which would have been titled "perception is reality" in order to take a page from the scene above.  So this is my tribute to the idea...if you only knew how much I wanted to say and didn't....Of course, there was the fact that the picture above was too pretty not to be used for a blog today.

So drink in the beauty of Tom Till's picture above and know I intended to say soooo much more tonight. ;)  

My parting thought, other than Tom Till has a brilliant eye and breath taking pictures is....that Nearly Normals in Corvallis is awesome.   If you ever find yourself in the area STOP in!!!  Seriously this is some awesomely "Veggielicious Vegetarian Cooking"!!!!!  I was hooked from the moment I bit into Athena's Delight.   Of all that I could miss of Oregon I miss this place...second only to the Ocean.   Their website isn't all that fancy or posh but the food is simply amazing and more than makes up for it.    Seriously even if you are a healthy meat loving person, this place is worth foregoing your usual perfered protein source.  Go!  Then let me know ;). :)  http://www.nearlynormals.com/
