Sorry blog, I've been distracted...but we had a spell of warm weather and I was trying out a new camera...with the help of Jasper. It seems to work quite well!

Six penguins are going to be taken for a walk outside the Biodome this weekend. They were taken out last week but their feet got cold!

It's not that I shun the living!

I'm not embarrassed by this but I am surprised. I love dead flowers! I look forward to them dying. There's something about the shape...

I'm sure I would offer fodder for analysis...but I can't help it.

It must be Spring. The spam is full of unrepeatable offers and some that are...I could get a college degree in one week...or I could fill a prescription or buy baby food and snacks on line...

A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live
That day.

Emily Dickinson

Thank goodness Emily never had to deal with spam!

I found the following in an old notebook...

And this - a note made during what might just have been a frustrating meeting!

I DON’T WANT CONFLICT!
I WANT TO BE A CLOISTERED NUN WITH A GRAY HOUND.

I'm not sure that cloistered nuns are allowed to have gray hounds...but perhaps a chihuahua tucked under one's arm?

My trip to Africa was accidental but unforgettable.

Today someone offered me a twist on a familiar prayer. I intend no irreverence...but it appealed to me...

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the weaponry to make the difference.
