Raindrops in Sunshine—Tuesday, March 19, 2023

Finally, finally, the sun broke through the clouds

Making the raindrops on the clothesline sparkle and dance against the heavy frost on the grass.

From my world to your heart,

The joy/the beauty/of the world just lifts me up body and soul!

I Love Light and Color—Wednesday, January 17, 2023

What I love about each season is

the light!  And the color of that season.

LOOK!    As the sun came up —-   a Sundog appeared!  It is right in the sky by the basketball hoop!

Colder weather heading our way.

I Am Missing Summer’s Heat—Tuesday, January 16, 2023

Boy, is it ever cold here!  4*f (-15.55c).  With real feel -1*f (-18.33c) I know that doesn’t even compare to those who live up north, but for us—it’s cold!

Oh, well, (I tell myself) it is January after all. 🙂

Now That I’m 75 —Monday, January 15, 2023

I’ve been thinking about being 75—WHICH I AM VERY GRATEFUL TO BE!!!

And this is what I’ve come up with:

Being 75 is really rather neat. I’m still alive.  I am still very mobile.  I can still work and keep working hard and take a nap every afternoon to recharge! 🙂

But more than anything, I no longer care about all those things I used to care about when I was younger.

In the best possible of ways!

Getting older is a great and wonderful joy!  You finally are at peace with yourself, your body, and (even) how to approach the world.

So, if I have one bit of advice from my very advanced age: EMBRACE your age, each and every step of the way!!

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-Now and Then, Friday, January 12, 2023

There was then—-the grass was green, we had leaves on the trees

Out I would go early in the morning to spend the whole day outside

Now—the grass is dry, the leaves are gone and it’s been cold baby–so cold I had trouble staying outside

Still out I go with Mom and Boo Berry each and every morning

For after all there are things to do—MOUSE!

Stuff to play with —-LEAF

Smells to smell—ugh! Stray cat!

Cold or not—

hot or not

There are things I need/must do

Until it is time

To go inside!

Music Morning and Evening —- Thursday, January 11, 2023

I love the music of the early morning, and

When the choir sings in the evening.

I Love both times—I really do!

I Have a Theory—Wednesday, January 10, 2023

I have a theory—-or at least a comforting thought—  I wonder if we were really never cast out of Eden—our heads, bodies, and minds were just turned away so we shut our eyes afraid.

But, maybe, just maybe (anyhow this is how I like to think) if we open our eyes, turn our heads and bodies, and MINDS back around, maybe three times like dogs do before they lay down—we are redeemed and can see Eden again!  How can anything be more beautiful than this amazing gorgeous Earth!

While Out and About —Tuesday, January 09, 2023

OH! LOOK! TWO HEARTS I SEE!

And one standing alone just for my eyes to find!

Hearts!  A gift from the Earth to me and now for you!
