Who Ya Gonna Call?
Not Quite Wordless Wednesday
It was three years ago yesterday that I began this blogging journey. Much has happened in those 3 years, and as I read back through the archives, I remember. Births and deaths, illness and healing, artistic growth— all part of the majesty of this life. We’ve demonstrated the Power of One as we’ve raised our cups of kindness. We’ve shared cups of coffee and glasses of wine over the cyber-fence, as we tappity tap our wishes, lies and dreams.
Thanks for sharing your world and mine. I’ve posted some photos of this frosty April morning in my neck of the woods. As always, feel free to leave me a comment, or a stone (o), to let me know you’ve stopped by.
Birthday Musings
i thank you god
for this most amazing day;
for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything which is natural
which is infinite which is yes ~~ee cummings
Now that cake, ice cream and party hats are no longer an issue for me, birthdays are a time of reflection. I am so grateful for what I have: for the family and friends who surround me with love and care; for the leaping greenly sprirts of trees, the blue true dream of sky for everything which is natural which is infinite which is yes. And it is the only day of the year when I can crank up the volume and dance with reckless abandon in the kitchen.
Words for Wednesday
Each day I take a look at the words that grace the calendar on my kitchen wall. Some days I look ahead to see if there is a word that strikes me. All the words make me think. Here are this week’s Words for Wednesday:
**exclave–a noun: the portion of a country separated from the main part and constituting an enclave in respect to the surrounding territory
**bird-dog–a verb: 1. to watch closely; 2. to seek out: follow or detect
**colubrine–an adjective: 1. relating to a snake; 2. relating to a large family of nonvenomous snakes
**revenant–a noun: one that returns after death or a long absence
This week’s favorite:
**tub-thumper–a noun: a vociferous supporter (as of a cause)
I have certainly thumped some tubs in my time. How about you?
As always, feel free to leave me a comment, ot a stone, (o), to let me know you stopped by.
Our Place in the Cosmos
The Symphony of Science is an amazing project. John Boswell, the creator of this incredible project, says, “The goal of the project is to bring scientific knowledge and philosophy to the masses, in a novel way, through the medium of music. Science and music are two passions of mine that I aim to combine in a way that is intended to bring a meaningful message to listeners, while simultaneously providing an enjoyable musical experience.”
What do you think?
Hallelujah!
Nearly Full Moon
The air is cold and crisp, the moon approaching full. It is so bright, you can almost read a book. Tonight is the Full Beaver Moon. This would have been the time to set the beaver traps before the swamps froze; it was the time that the beavers would prepare for the long winter ahead. How far removed we have become from our roots. Do you connect with the phases of the moon?
How Green is My Valley: A Colorful My Town Monday Post
The Village of Peninsula, population 601, sits in the beautiful Cuyahoga Valley. The Valley is awash with color throughout the year. When people think of Autumn in the Valley, I think that they think of oranges and reds and golds. Those colors certainly are there; the palate is also shared with shades of green. Not the fresh young greens of spring, but rather the mature shades that have experienced a season of sunshine, rain, and wind. Here is a look:
