Sorry to hear your kitty passed on, it was best to not let the cat suffer.
Hope you will return to hail health soon.

Good morning everyone.
So sorry folks, I have had a set back and will not be able to be around, I need to stay very quiet.
To: Soaring Feather; Lady Jag; NY Attitude; All
I am so sorry..Take care. I have a poem and picture I'll post.
Wild Sweet Peas..Near The Beach At Sunset
Before Sunset by Algernon Charles Swinburne
Love's twilight wanes in heaven above,
On earth ere twilight reigns:
Ere fear may feel the chill thereof,
Love's twilight wanes.
Ere yet the insatiate heart complains
'Too much, and scarce enough,'
The lip so late athirst refrains.
Soft on the neck of either dove
Love's hands let slip the reins:
And while we look for light of love
Love's twilight wanes.

How often have I started out
With no thought in my noodle,
And wandered here and there about,
Where fancy bade me toddle;
Till feeling faunlike in my glee
I've voiced some gay distiches,
Returning joyfully to tea,
A poem in my britches.
A-squatting on a thymy slope
With vast of sky about me,
I've scribbled on an envelope
The rhymes the hills would shout me;
The couplets that the trees would call,
The lays the breezes proffered . . .
Oh no, I didn't think at all -
I took what Nature offered.
For that's the way you ought to write -
Without a trace of trouble;
Be super-charged with high delight
And let the words out-bubble;
Be voice of vale and wood and stream
Without design or proem:
Then rouse from out a golden dream
To find you've made a poem.
So I'll go forth with mind a blank,
And sea and sky will spell me;
And lolling on a thymy bank
I'll take down what they tell me;
As Mother Nature speaks to me
Her words I'll gaily docket,
So I'll come singing home to tea
A poem in my pocket.
Robert W. Service

My new computer is fine..I am learning a little more about it every day..I have all my desktop files on a thumb drive so I can choose to use this one anywhere..I like it best for reading..I’d rather do most of my graphics and posting sitting at the desktop. I had to rest my back after using the heavy pruners and saw yesterday and enjoyed having the computer in bed.

Sea Change
Deep, deep, oh is this, the dark blue sea
Washing upon the shore here beside me
And I watch hypnotic waves as they flee
Across the beach of Time seeking the lee
As on high the gulls cry as if in some pain
And on the horizon the clouds hint of rain
A conflict that mimics humans calm and sane
Or depicts the possibilities twix dull and fain

Many thanks, you did it up most nice!
Meditating under an Arbor
As soft as silk the caressing breeze
Whispering among the flowers
Carries the scent of life in the garden
Under a cerulean sky we share
Amazing how we’ve come to care
And find so much at last to ken
Be it in a garden or an ivory tower
Or a bench under the linden trees
