shading the sky

shading the sky

large puffs of white
eating up the night

where’s the moon?
where’s the groom?

behind the shadings,
of course

hills are alive

It is with great pleasure that I present this wonderful rendition of the song, “THE LONELY GOATHERD” from my special musical YouTube friend from New Zealand, ANNIE GONG.

I guarantee you ain’t seen nothing like this!

the laundry

The Laundry

I help my mommy sort the clothes
by burrowing through them
with my nose

One time I snoozed and started to spin
Oh no – the washer! Mom
threw me in!

holiday stress away

UNLESS you happen to be one of those folks who breeze through the holidays without any stress…

why not try the rolling the holiday stress away with

STRESS AWAY ROLL-ON?

It’s such a RELAXING combination of VANILLA, LIME & COPAIBA oils that you might hear yourself saying:

“Sure, I don’t mind having your magnificent mother over for the holidays.”

in autumn

in autumn

a crackling, dancing fire
the scent of orange and cloves

flannel sheets and glowing lights
and socks to warm the toes

baked apples with brown sugar
and sweet potato pies

homemade stews and cider brews
and snuggling on cold nights

these i love in autumn
with you here by my side

a walk

a walk

I asked my mommy to go for a walk
along my favorite trail

She’s asked my old daddy to tag along
And daddy moved his tail

I guided my parents straight through the woods
with perfect four-pawed drive

Fending off bunnies and nut hurling squirrels
I got them home alive!

a single color

In our life there is a single color,
as on an artist’s palette,
which provides the meaning of life and art.
It is the color of love.

~ Marc Chagall

laugh out loud

If people don’t laugh out loud when you tell them your dream, then you need to get a bigger dream.

lesson of trees

Most trees grow down before they grow up

Growth happens below the surface long before other people begin to see it

A work has to be done in you, so that can be done through you before a bunch of other people can see it come out of you.
