Hmmm...

While I was out of town, I scheduled new little posts to pop up each day.
It's the closest I have ever been to any kind of format here.
I kinda liked it.
Hmmm...
maybe more of a format to come...
While I wasn't able to respond to comments as I normally would, I did read them all upon my return...
Orhan and Scott from Oregon, I agree with you...I believe dogs do know jealousy. They are very soulful beings :)
Mel...I would never survive your weather honey. It would take 24hr access to a sun room which was well heated and insulated. I send you sunshine...
Amelie...Your words are very sweet, still may the tears be broken with laughter ;)
Sing, Dee & Jerzeygrl...ILY&IMYSVM

Anyway, here is a video of weird halo cloud over Moscow...

Sunning and Running

All men should strive
to learn before they die
what they are running from...
and to...
and why...
~James Thurber

Prompted by one of Dear Sweet Mel's comments, I post this quote...along with one of the many pictures she so enjoys...I so adore her.

Personally, I may sprint when called into action, but I rarely ever run. I always end up twisting an ankle anyway ;)

Humming...Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head...

Sleeping, I distinctly heard the sound of a dog tinkling.
What on earth?
I popped up, 'Smokie!'
Nestled on his bed, next to mine, he looked up at me...somewhat startled.
I flipped in my bed and that's when it hit me.... hit me right on my feet, immediately giving all my toes a waterfall bath.

This morning, with flashlight and stew pot in hand, I walked the balance beam of rafters looking for the tiny leak that's caused big damages.

Not everything in life can be patched up.
If only it had just been Smokie...

And as much as I would like to just walk away, right back to the seafoam I just left, I know the time is not right.

Pink to Peachy

There is 5-10 degrees difference in each color.

Take me from pink to peachy...
even though I'd love to get lost in the olive...

Soon

Soon may not be soon enough, but sometimes it is all we have...

Sounds of Silence

O' GREAT SPIRIT
help me always
to speak the truth quietly,
to listen with an open mind
when others speak,
and to remember the peace
that may be found in silence.

Cherokee Prayer

Especially the type of silence that carries the whisper of a wind, the echo of a sky-high bird and the wantful applause of the tide

Crying, Dying and Flying

When you were born, you cried
and the world rejoiced.
Live your life
so that when you die,
the world cries and you rejoice.

White Elk

Awwww.... I wouldn't want anyone to cry.

Dreams and Jungle Love

You live in a world of illusion
Where everythings peaches and cream
We all face a scarlet conclusion
But we spend our time in a dream
~Steve Miller

...and I think that is just dandy. The difference between dreams and fantasies, to me, is that dreams are meant for chasing. And if we all truly face a scarlet conclusion, then we might as well enjoy the colors along the way.

Butterflies and Believing

"The most important thing to remember, so I am told, is that there is a reason for everything."

'it is what it is'...a hopeless believer in all things good, I often think that there is a good reason for everything...whether we ever realize it or not.
The Butterfly Effect

Quiet Lies & Screaming Silence

Latin Proverb: Keep quiet and people will think you a philosopher.

Thinking that to sit in silence is to seem honest, pure, contemplative, content, blessed...

The best liars are the worst liars and the worst are the best.
