Wednesday Wonder







"...it is the union of the ordinary and the miraculous that makes wonder."
Thomas Wolfe, Look Homeward, Angel


Look Homeward, Angel has held a permanent spot on my bookshelf since I read it almost ten years ago. Sunday I pulled it form the shelf, flipped through the pages, and fell into wonder all over again.

I thought of these flags, discovered during a morning walk (fittingly, in Flagstaff, Arizona!) I had left the boys back at the Motel, and embarked on a mini-adventure all my own.

Magical morning air, wide open skies, a satisfying sense of solitude, and the joyous offerings of an automotive repair lot... if you ask me, Thomas Wolfe got it exactly right.


Happy Wednesday dear friends, I hope you enjoy a wondrous day!

  1. Wow! I love these! Gorgeous fade on the last one. How did you know that orange, yellow, and purple are my favorite color combination?
