This picture is the one I have enlarged and it hangs on the wall in the sunroom.That is actually the morning dew turning it into a wonder of jewels.

This one is just as intricate. Because the day was hot and dry I decided to spray it myself.I'm not sure it's the same thing. I once sat beside a battery powered candle waiting for my eyes to adjust and its light to fill the room .It never did. Unlike a real candle flame which brightens the corners as time passes.So what's the difference...Hmm

What is it?

So what is it about communicating this way. I'm thinking maybe our eyes register more than our ears. The written word definitely is processed slower by our grey matter. I'm stealing a picture off my friend's Face Book page...It's the adjoining town...the tide coming in around the muddy banks. Love it.

Same spot

S See Mom and little Evelyn on the left. Edie was a stand in as we reenacted the moment on exactly the same spot in the pic on the right. You can see the slope of the roof and the chimney up the side of the house. We had toured the sprawling structure in a previous year but it was very special to be outside this time and see where we used to roll down the grassy hill and have tea parties at a little table on the back lawn. I don't know how the universe works but I'm thinking there was kind of linking up with matter and matter....hmmm

Auditory

I always thought I was an auditory (I don't think I've got the word right) person as opposed to one who gets kicks out of seeing stuff...or feeling things. Hearing something seems to be what my brain processes best. This came to my mind today as I sat in the open air waiting for kids. I realized that if I were questioned as to my sharpest summer memory it would be the sound of flies or bees or what ever buzzing around. It's a sweet, comforting sound...Hmm

Rock

Some time ago Colin hauled a big rock onto his lawn and considers it as a landscaping plus. This morning I looked on it with different eyes. New colors and lines made it appear as a very artsy creation. I asked Matthew what had been done to it to make it look so much prettier. He had only one word..."bird poop".

Board Games

Had the kids 3 days in a row so we just left this set up in the Sun Room. Remember how much fun it is/was to play this game of Life. We had to convert some Monopoly money but we've got all the parts now.And of course the funniest part is when you get that car filled with all those pegs simulating kids and you're still trucking down the road towards the Day of Reckoning.I love board games...

I've already told you how this came about. Buster is a Christian friend since the 80's. His paintings were on his Face Book site and I commented on this one. I had spent alot of time at this bandstand site when I was a kid He phoned and said he 's giving it to me.Sweet or what.!

This is the blueberry field where we had our picnic. Off to the right is the spot where Maya crouched behind the shelter of an umbrella and had a pee. And then her Dad dried her bum with the end of his t shirt. How special is that.!

It's good to have a laugh

This just stuck me really funny... Craig's guests from Singapore photographing our mailbox

Instruction Books

The little book is my personal instuction book...like how to pay bills on line etc. I'd like to say the Bible is my instruction book...when problems have faces it's a challenge. Anyway you can see why I think you could leave me alone here for a year and I'd be contented working away on my projects.
