One of my mantras of late has been, “I thought the Clintons were scary.” If Obama is elected we might end up saying goodbye to the USA.

I join you in prayer.

Not all kittens got in it at once,Some favored lower branches, some higher ..The branches bent and my daughter was constantly reshaping the tree..it was a hassle..I tried to remember to spray around it often as my room was closest to the tree..It did help.
I am considering doing that on the cabinet top of my bookcase so I can do lights in the evergreen swag with ornaments like last year..I’ll spray the carpet in front of the bookcase.. They may climb on the desk and jump over..O My..LOL.

[MEG33]

I have thought the same..God help us preserve our great Republic..Many are praying like we are.

[Lady Jag]

I haven’t seen that for years. Forgot how beautiful some of the photos were.

[Lady Jag]

What are you spraying? I know of no cat repellent.

My cats always knock the tree over.

[MEG33]

My daughter bought it..I’ll have to check with her..I had Sasay the first use my hand embroidered and sequined tree skirt to urinate on..It was when I had “real” trees ..Perhaps he was marking territory?..He survived..barely..LOL

“Sam and the Firefly”... too cute!

We had our once-a-month book sale at church today, which we do after Masses, and the children’s books are always very popular. I brought one home I couldn’t resist: “Yiddish with Dick and Jane.” Maybe I can learn something:-)

Well, my book reviews and recommendations went over like a wet balloon, huh? Ho hum. You’re all missing out; Fanny Flagg is the best, and we need her positivity right now. That’s all I can say about that!! LOL.

[MEG33]

Thank you to all who came by today..I fear my eyelids are
getting heavy
Have A Lovely Sunday Evening, Everyone

[La Enchiladita]

Oooh, I thought that was Maxfield Parrish.
Nice, MEG:-)

I guess you are gone now, Dita, but I did see those book titles you posted yesterday by Fannie Flagg and I truly felt that would be good reading. I think I just got on a few minutes at a time yesterday and I was on when you weren’t and you were on when I wasn’t. You know how it goes sometimes.

Fannie Flagg was a very funny lady in her day. I remember her well being on game shows, etc. Wonder how old she is now?

moving?

golly I have missed something along the way..

[TASMANIANRED]

My home town is where Edison debuted the lightbulb.

'Dita, Maxfield Parrish is one of my most favorite artists. Here is a picture he painted in 1906, title, "Princess Parizade Bringing Home The Singing Tree".

[Lady Jag]

My home town is where Edison debuted the lightbulb.

So you saw later sooner...

[The Mayor]

I didn’t tell anyone really. We found a better house with land. Rent to own, zoned M-1 which is the best zoning. I can do anything residential and business wise.

[TASMANIANRED]

Better late than never.

[Lady Jag]

I didn’t have to wait for it, it was here before me.

[Kitty Mittens]

Rural Resurrection

Along a cottonwood tree lined road
dusty from the breeze so soft
where the cattails climb to loft
their tips of pollen weighted load

A tricolor black bird sings its song
in a voice as clear as the early dawn
another answers from the miller’s lawn
in a sweet voiced tune that echoes long

The covered bridge creaks in the passing
in counterpoint to the stream below
and in that moment of connection I know
all the feelings in my heart massing

A whisper of the zephyr touches my soul
a caress, soft as watered silk in the night
and I’m transfixed by a beam of morning light
washed by a peace that leaves me gently whole
