Meanderings and Muses: October Photo a Day Challenge

I'm a lover of words and a lover of images.

The photos you see in the blog posts were mostly shot by me or by husband Donald. Or, they're old family photos - a lovely little benefit of being a part of families who recognized the beauty of preserving our history through photography.

If the photos are not ours, I have tried whenever possible to caption or link the photos to their source. This hasn't always been possible as there are a lot of uncredited images available through the internet.

The photos in the sidebar were not all shot by me or Donald.

Those that we did not shoot are images I'm sharing from Facebook, Tumblr, Google and/or other places.

My sincere thanks to the generosity of so many talented photographers who so graciously share their work for so many of us to enjoy, share and learn from.

IF you see a photo here that is a copyright infringement, please send me an email (barleykw @ appstate dot com) and I'll remove it immediately.

Upcoming Guests!

Meanderings and Muses is pleased to present the following guests who will be dropping by during 2014.

Once again, I'd like to say many thanks to those of you who have taken the time to grace us with a visit. Many of you have been around since the beginning. Thank You!

You make Meanderings and Muses a charming little place to hang out and for this I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Check back from time to time, as guest dates may change. In between our guest bloggers, I hope you'll drop by for a little visit with me and to say hey to one another.

Pull up a chair, pour yourself a cup of coffee or a cuppa tea, have a piece of pie and always feel free to speak your mind, and your heart, here at Meanderings and Muses.

Hugs!

Kaye

Books Read During 2014

Every year I promise myself I'm going to keep a log of books I'm reading. And I immediately forget. Then I remember again, but only after I've already read a few books, but can't be sure I'll remember them all and so - - can't bring myself to start the list. It's sort of like missing the first 30 minutes of a movie. I just can't watch it if I've missed the beginning. And being the anal ol' soul I am, I can't bring myself to start a list if I can't be sure it's going to be a complete one.

So.

I decided to keep a list during 2010 and found it to be a fun thing. Especially for a compulsive list-maker like myself. You can see my 2010 list here -

And, you can see my 2011 list here -

And here's my 2012 list - http://www.meanderingsandmuses.com/2013/01/books-read-in-2012.html

And, my 2013 list -

AND, because I enjoyed doing it, I'm going to do it again this year.
