night so I got out in freezing mist to fill and put it up again.
It's chilly out there.
Stay warm and enjoy your day.

“I was going to respond to this, but it’s pretty obvious that you weren’t talking to me.”
Well, that’s something we will never be quite sure about, Bob....
Raccoons can be very scary!
I walked to the mall with Lynn-Dah-the-Dawg a few weeks ago, and thought there might be a path through the woods to shorten my journey home, as I was now carrying bags and didn’t want to take the long route.
As I approached the darkened woods it became a scene from “Snow White”, when I saw about twenty pairs of glowing eyes staring at me from out of the darkness!
I realized that it was sunlight, reflecting on the outer membrane of the eyes of over Twenty raccoons...and they had been alerted to our presence!
Lynn-Dah and I took the LONG way home after all.

A great Blend of Fractals, Quantums, Puppies, Kittehs, and stuffs.
And SNOW!
Oh, you don't have to take my word for it. You can ask any of the original witnesses to ... um.
Okay, none of them are around any more, so forget that. I guess you would have to take my word for it, except that I'm not saying.
Cute!!!!!
Days in Heaven
There are no days in Heaven,
The way they are down here,
For one could just as well observe,
It’s like another year.
As worlds go spinning ‘round a bit,
And wobble to and fro,
From Heaven’s point of view, you see,
It’s just a picture show.
We see the images so clear,
Of children in new clothes,
And celebrations come again,
That give a chance to pose.
But in between that frozen time,
You stare at a glassy eye,
To take a picture, hold that pose!
We’ve millions in the sky.
The images of blinking lid,
As it slowly descends,
To wipe the dust off, one more time,
From your recording lens.
And glacially, the smile that grows,
Like apples in their time,
As you perceive a moment dear,
That you may think sublime.
From Heaven’s point of view, there is,
No moment like another,
For every nanosecond there,
Has one to be its mother.
And time flows on, from here to there,
Unbroken in its path,
Recording all of it would be …
Well, you can do the math.
But every moment is well known,
To those who watch, and see,
The times that come to those below,
Such measured steps to be.

We gave our 2-year-old son a pair of new boots recently. He was so happy that he didn’t take them off until it was bedtime. But the next day he forgot all about the boots and put on his old sneakers. My husband said, “I wish he knew how much things cost.”
The boots were expensive, but a young child doesn’t know about working hours, salaries, and taxes. A child receives the gifts with open arms, but we know that he can’t be expected to fully appreciate the sacrifices his parents make to give him new things.
Sometimes I behave like a child. With open arms I receive God’s gifts through His many mercies, but am I thankful? Do I consider the price that was paid so I can live a full life?
The cost was expensive—more than “corruptible things, like silver or gold.” As we read in 1 Peter, it required “the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot” (1:18-19). Jesus gave His life, a high price to pay, to make us part of His family. And God raised Him from the dead (v.21).
When we understand the cost of our salvation, we learn to be truly thankful.
INSIGHT: The description of Jesus as a “lamb” (1 Peter 1:19) is found throughout the New Testament, yet it has its roots in the Old Testament. John the Baptist announced Jesus’ arrival by calling Him “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29). And Paul referred to Jesus as “our Passover” (1 Cor. 5:7), which points us back to the Passover lambs offered each year in Israel as a symbol of God’s rescue of His people from Egypt. This imagery finds its fullest voice in the book of Revelation where the word Lamb is found 30 times and where Jesus is seen as the Lion who laid down His life as the ultimate sacrificial Lamb (Rev. 5:5-6).
