Shall we swipe this one for a Welcome Graphic. It is really cute. :^ )

Swiped and filed, along with the roses and the white fence too. They will make nice welcome graphics. Thanks MEG.

[MEG33]

You’re welcome.
;o)

Good morning/afternoon, Meg.

Thank you for the beautiful painting.

Have a Terrific Tuesday.

[OESY]

Looks like they get the best jobs too—based on experience, that is.

[OESY]

Great picture, Meg x 33.

My guess would be “a trial lawyer,” if "word(s)" are allowed, as in:

I wish for you to have

…enough happiness to make you SWEET

…enough trials to make you STRONG

...enough sadness to keep you HUMAN

to make you a trial lawyer and be HAPPY,

because there are too many such lawyers that are unhappy curs.

I realize I will be disappointed that this will not become a self-fulfilling prophesy.

[MEG33]

Thank you, OESY!

[JustAmy]

It looks like I need to clean-up my filing system.
Today I used a Welcome Graphic that I had used earlier in the month.

[MEG33]

All is forgiven..LOL

Good afternoon, PoetGal.

Hope you are enjoying "National Shrimp Scampi Day!"

[JustAmy]

The wind has been awful. I hate WIND!

Happy to hear the SBJ is doing well.

Mr Kitty Mittens has been a bad boy! I think he took all the babies from the Mockingbird nest yesterday.

This morning the birds were making so much noise that I could hardly tell Marissa to have a good day. I looked at the redwood trees and surprise ...... Mr Mittens came strolling toward the house from those trees.

Have a Happy Windy Tuesday.

[JustAmy]

Beautiful rose and sentiment, LadyJ. Thank you.

Hope you are enjoying "National Sense of Smell Day!"

[Lady Jag]

You, too!

I’m going to take another shower.

[JustAmy]

Pee Yew ......

Happy "National Sense of Smell Day"!

[Kitty Mittens]

The Pics of Mr. Mittens in #2475 are Cute, Amy; Marissa Sure Picked a Beautiful Kitty! I'm Sorry he May have Taken the Mockingbird Babies; Hopefully the Birds were just Scolding him because he was in View.

I've been Doing my Spring Cleaning and haven't been Able to Freep as Much Lately, and I'm Pooped, Lol, and it's Fun to Catch Up on the Thread. Yesterday a Hummingbird Came and Fluttered in Front of my Kitchen Windows, Probably Seeing himself Reflected in the Glass; I'm Late in Putting my Feeder Up this Year, but Hope to Do it in the Next Few Days!

[JustAmy]

Thanks for that adorable kitten, Kitty Mittens.

I know that Mr. Mittens took at least 3 babies. MrJust counted uneaten heads. Marissa was very upset. I told her that he didn’t know any better because afterall God made him a hunter.

LJ, thank you for giving me another out loud laugh for the day! I’ll be thinking of that picture all week!

Smells Like A Poem



I am blind

But I can see the world

Much clearer than you can.

Did you ever hear the soft pitter-patter

Of a caterpillar walking across

A brown, dead oak leaf in autumn?

Have you ever heard a fly

as it sits down to dine

Upon your cake on the Fourth of July?

I have.

have you ever heard

The deafening sounds

of the flapping wings

Of a flock of starlings

As they fly south for the winter?

Have you ever tasted a color?

Like the bitterness of green?

Or the dull

Muted taste of brown?

I have.

Or have you ever smelled a color?

The strong reek of black

Or pink's sweet aroma?

Have you ever felt the down draft made by

The wings of a bumblebee

As it whizzes through the air?

I have.

The world is filled

With smells, sounds, tastes and sensations

That enable me to see

Much clearer than you can.

That is so very pretty Meg!

Meg, that picture of the roses and the white picket fence is SO inviting. If I had a friend who lived there, I would go visit her every day - just to smell the roses. ;-)
