As I walked out to the barn last night the Lightning bugs were swarming up from the damp grass. Hundreds of them ascending into the dusk! I grew up calling them Lightning bugs. We use to go out after bath in our pajamas to catch jars full, only to release them before bed. Did you know that they are called Fireflies by 30.4 percent while 29.1 percent call them lightning bugs. North and central Alabamians are more likely to use lightning bug while south Alabama is more likely to use call them both. I guess coming from West Georgia we were on the Lightning bug side. This time last year there were three adults running through the yard with a 4 year old catching them!

“Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight. Someone’s thinking of me and loving me tonight.”
-Linda Ronstadt, James Ingram-
It was late. I walked out to a full moon. I remember all the times I’ve shared the moon with our grandchildren. It’s hard to enjoy it alone, but it brings back some great memories. Memories that flood into my mind like the tears that stream down my face. Life passes too quickly and most don’t take the time to soak it in.
I say a prayer for all those struggling. The friend that just lost her Dad, guests for tonight that possibly lost a loved one. Let go, let God. Easy to say, but hard to do. Prayers help.

It's Strawberry season once again! The Strawberry Patch in Cave Springs, Georgia has lots of berries to pick! We went for the second time yesterday and they berries are so sweet and delicious! Jose' loved strawberries and is always makes me sad when this season is upon us! He always was available to sample what our guests brought back!
Here's the recipe for Strawberry Cheesecake French toast if you have some of those delicious strawberries! Blueberries would work just as well.
Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast
8 slices white Bread cut into 1inch pieces
1-8oz pkg cream cheese cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, blueberries or blackberries, or Chocolate chips
7 eggs
1 can sweetened condensed milk
Add regular milk to this for a combined total of 1 2/3 cups
Strawberry syrup

Grease 9x13 dish. Spread half of bread pieces evenly in dish. Add all of the cream cheese pieces evenly over bread. Then add Strawberries. Finish with the remaining bread pieces. Beat eggs with sweetened condensed milk until well blended. Pour over bread, cover with foil and refrigerate overnight. No longer than 24 hours. Bake covered at 350 for 30 minutes then uncover and bake an additional 20 minutes. Watch the bottom of the pan to guage doneness.
Serve with strawberry, blueberry or blackberry syrup. If using chocolate chips use regular syrup.

The warmer weather and abundance of rain has brought out all the creepy crawlies that had disappeared over the winter!! Last night the Lightning bugs were swarming out of the wet grass and the frogs and crickets were singing their little hearts out! And while I know we have guests that only like "dead" snakes, the ones we have seen are the good ones that are keeping the rodent population down! Just so you know, even though I don't like frogs and toads they are all welcome to come and kill the flies and mosquitoes! We even had a rather large grasshopper join us at the pool this past weekend.

Salutations! Sally here at The Secret Bed and Breakfast! Rain, Rain, and more Rain! Charlie says we need it but I hate it. When rain hits my back it runs down my short fur and feels icky!! The only other dog with fur like mine is BB and she does not seem to mind it at all. Kris does a pretty good job at making sure she takes me out when it is not raining, but lately she hasn't had much choice.
I will say that the rain makes for some good napping!!! My sofa in the lodge has the best music when the rain is hitting the roof. I especially like it when there's guests to curl up with me or when Kris decides to take a break to snuggle!
How about all of you? What is your favorite thing about a rainy day? Or, least favorite?

What a great weekend!! Lots of amazing friends and at least one good weather day. And, although it did rain we managed to make lemonade out of lemons. Sitting in the lodge doing karaoke, eating burgers and hot dogs while the rain on the roof joined in on the music! We were all so sunburned from Saturday that it was a nice reprieve!

Rain comes into my life to color my morning sky!! Sometimes the clouds do shroud the sun, but at other times when the rays can peak through the colors are so awe inspiring it takes your breath away! This mountaintop is a true reflection of God's power. Kinda helps me remember to let go, let God!

Summer is officially just 30 days away! June 21st is the official start date of the astronomical summer solstice. How do you know when summer is truly upon us?? It has nothing to do with a calendar but everything to do with Lightning bugs (Fireflies to you Yankees)! I have seen several coming up from the grass as dusk hits. Soon the air will be filled with their tiny lights. Some of my best memories from childhood is catching lightning bugs before bed every summer! Did you know that in a lightning bugs tail, you’ll find two chemicals: luciferase and luciferin. Luciferin is heat resistant, and it glows under the right conditions. A lightning bug has one of the most efficient lights in the world!!
