Come home safe
where trees flower,
and flowers bloom,
...and clouds dance,
...and sunsets happen.

Whee...

It's the weekend!!!!

The Thursday Threesome...

Onesome: Quoth- Do you use quotations much? ..at all? What is your favorite quote? ...and why, pray tell? Hmmm... The recurrent one is Arthur C. Clarke's, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.", the tag line at the bottom of my Daynotes pages....

Twosome: the Raven- The symbol of the raven has a lot of mythology and superstition attached. How are you in this area? Do you avoid ladders with black cats perched on them on Friday the thirteenth? ...or do you just toss a pinch of salt over your shoulder and move along about your business? Hmmm? I'm not superstitious at all. Nope. Nothing here. Just move along folks... <g>

Threesome: Nevermore- ...and the softball of the week: What is it that you've tried that is on the "Nevermore" list? ...and do people even dare to bring it up around you? Hmmmm... Boogie boarding when the waves are that high again? Dunno'. Check in with me in a few weeks and we'll see...

How about you? Are you having fun with this one? Let us know, over on The Back Porch...

Come on over and chat!

Sometimes the trees...

...can gather the gold from the sunset.

"Engine turnings"...

Way back when, you'd get some carborundum and a dowel and work over a piece of metal with circular patterns. You may still see watches around with the same type of workmanship on the case.

Engine turnings on a table...

The "Guessing Game" from Sunday is a table at the ice cream parlor with the same thing, only done in a modern fashion. I did ask Daniel stand so his shirt would reflect on the table <g>...

Guessing games...

Okay, this is perhaps the one time when having 'comments' could be cool...

What is it?

JHR should be first in...

Kitty...

I'm backing up Mom here with a link to her comments: Kitty was scheduled to come home this afternoon, but Lorraine's connectivity to Blogger is busy helping Rambo hack up a hairball. So the smart lady hit her comments for her update! (Hey, weren't some of us just talking about communicating via comments <g>?)

Update: Kitty is home and Mom can hit her own site once again. Coolness abounds!

Mornings...

I'm not much of a morning person; the night is much more to my liking. ...but when I need to be up, like to replace a blown attic fan before the temperature is beyond workable, I try to take advantage of the coolness and the quiet.

So I had my coffee on board and was out blading with the yard sailors before the sun was very high in the sky. The bonus of an early run is spotting where I might wander a bit when I get done...

This gentleman's flowers have graced these pages several times. We had a chance to meet this morning while he was working in his garage...

Back lit by the morning sun...

The bees were busy working on his allium...

He didn't seem to mind the company...

Heck, even the flies were in the mood for a snaphot <g>...

Just hanging out... (3.9 inch focal length <g>!)

There's just something to be said for morning light...

Back home and just puttering in the back when I saw this lit up...

Consultants...

Since Shelley and I were feeling like we should kick back a little today, I checked in with the local experts...

Home schooling...
