D. H. Lawrence:
Beauty is an experience, nothing else. It is not a fixed pattern or an arrangement of features. It is something felt, a glow or a communicated sense of fineness. What ails us is that our sense of beauty is so bruised and blunted, we miss all the best.
It was truly a beautiful day.. and I got so much accomplished. My front yard needed some serious raking because .. and I don't know what this phenomenon is, but rocks tend to surface each year.. so .. that was accomplished EARLY before the sun started beating down.. however, it wasn't finished before the sun made its appearance.. se la vie. I was sweating all day today, worse than a half-nekkid person in a sauna.. but it was, and I don't know why, a good sweat. While I was raking my neighbor, Betty's son, Tim who is in a band, stopped to jaw some and we had a rather pleasant talk. Then my son & D-I-L called to say they were in Sandusky, Ohio... they are going to the park to ride the roller coaster.. seems my early indoctrination of my children to roller coasters grabbed on with both hands and stuck... yeah for them.
After the raking came the mowing.. now, some people get very upset when they have to mow, but I tend to think of it as a pay it forward to God for giving me such beauty as I found here in Stillwater, PA. 6 acres.. done .. then the trimming and the feeding of my goats, jump in the car and off to take care of the d-i-l's animals and plants... and on the way to their house, I noticed a new set of triplets had been born not more than a few days old .. they are holstein calves.. and I named them.. there are 2 girls and a boy.. so they are: Teri, Carrie, and Larry... kewl, heynet or no??? and the batteries in my camera were dead.. pictures of the triplets (by the way, they are highly rare.. 3 babies to one mama) will be forthcoming.
Once at my son's I got all his chores done and came home to do the trim work.. and in the course of the day and cutting and all, I witness more beauty than you could imagine.. so I am gonna share with you.. view the pics only if you wish... if not, you will not miss anything but God's awe.
And, lastly, I got a call from my sister, and it seems an ole high-school classmate ran across my sister and her boyfriend at a store and asked for my number.. damn.. all in one day.. God really is great.. and yep, cold beer on a day like today is good!!!
Here are the pics:
Beauty at Stillwater, PA on Sunday
and for gramps:
SHE WAS SO BLOND THAT...
She tripped over a cordless phone.
She thought she needed a token to get on "Soul Train."
She spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "concentrate."
She told me to meet her at the corner of "WALK" and "DON'T WALK."
She asked for a price check at the Dollar Store.
She studied for a blood test.
When she missed the 44 bus, she took the 22 bus twice instead.
When she went to the airport and saw a sign that said "Airport Left," she turned around and went home.
She sold the car for gas money!
and...
HE WAS SO BLONDE THAT...
A gentleman was having some physical problems and his doctor told him that he had to drink warm water with Epsom Salts one hour before breakfast. At the end of a week he returned and the doctor asked if he was feeling better.
The man said that he actually felt worse. "Did you drink warm salt water an hour before breakfast each day?" the Doc asked.
"No," replied the man somberly, letting out a sigh. "I could only do about 15 minutes!"

Hell yeah well of course your ass was sweating like a half-nekkid person in a sauna. Geeze I'm tired from reading all you did. You did all that stuff and took pics and loaded on to your PC and wrote a blog and shared all.  Well you're obviously very much not A.D.D. and I'm amazed at you truly. ~*~

Your hatred of blonds is a recurring theme. Why ?

I usually try to refrain from commenting on my own blogs.. but I just thought, since it may have been a smart-azz comment and all, but nonetheless, just in case it was serious or anyone else felt that way:
No HATRED whatsoever... I hate very little except violence and abuse... and I don't even dislike blondes, there are just so many blonde jokes and they make me laugh.. if I ruffled feathers, then I will not apologize, as that was NOT the reason behind the jokes..
And, though, I am hoping it was just a smart azz comment... if not, then, again, my friends know me better and my sister, niece and grandnieces are all blonde.... and I LOVE them.
Again, the choice is always up to all of you as to what to read, what decisions in life to make, who you enjoy being with, what makes your heart happy, and since it is quite lovely out these days, I choose to spend most of my time outdoors pursuing those "ahhhhh" moments... cuz in the end, I want good memories only so that when I draw my dying breath, those will be the pictures replaying in my life which I hear flashes before us.
Peace out...
