very happy fuzzy guy


This is the absolute
blissful view of a very happy

guy (aka The Knitting Companion, a standard Poodle)
having a Springtime, afternoon nap.

these Boots . . .

since footware has been on my mind
of late, i thought i might share a tune with you.
Feel free to sing along loudly and dance
in your living room. Surely, your companions
with four or two feet will not mind, they may
be amused or join in.


i love this song by Nancy Sinatra . . .



yum .....


say hello to
my "local" brand of sour cream.
yum. sour cream makes things
better. if you read the cover - it's perfect
for vegetables.

today is Birthay day for my friend C.A.
and J-P B. i hope that they Both
enjoy creamy & wonderfully rich birthdays.

to ponder . . .

The author of genius does keep till his last breath
the spontaneity, the ready sensitiveness, of a child,
the "innocence of eye" that means
so much to the painter, the ability to respond
freshly and quickly to new scenes, and to old scenes
as though they were new;
to see traits and characteristics
as though each were new-minted from the hand of God
instead of sorting them quickly
into dusty categories and pigeon-holing them
without wonder or surprise;
to feel situations so immediately and keenly
that the word "trite" has hardly any meaning for him;
and always to see "the correspondences between things"
of which Aristotle spoke two thousand years ago.
