Took this the other day. Just noticed that the window seems to have frost covering it so I'm glad we were both inside.
Toby's being very brave just now and has refused to cede the same place in the sun as I sit here typing in the living room (within feet of him so it's a big deal) since the outlet in the dining room where I usually work has died overnight. Blown fuse? Time will tell.
Maya Angelou
I note the obvious differences
in the human family.
Some of us are serious,
some thrive on comedy.
Some declare their lives are lived
as true profundity,
and others claim they really live
the real reality.
The variety of our skin tones
can confuse, bemuse, delight,
brown and pink and beige and purple,
tan and blue and white.
I've sailed upon the seven seas
and stopped in every land,
I've seen the wonders of the world
not yet one common man.
I know ten thousand women
called Jane and Mary Jane,
but I've not seen any two
who really were the same.
Mirror twins are different
although their features jibe,
and lovers think quite different thoughts
while lying side by side.
We love and lose in China,
we weep on England's moors,
and laugh and moan in Guinea,
and thrive on Spanish shores.
We seek success in Finland,
are born and die in Maine.
In minor ways we differ,
in major we're the same.
I note the obvious differences
between each sort and type,
but we are more alike, my friends,
than we are unalike.
We are more alike, my friends,
than we are unalike.
We are more alike, my friends,
than we are unalike.
Shots taken around the yard and in front of the porch of the garden finery Andy's tended all season.
How nice of Toby to pose for moi. If you look closely behind him, you can tell that its garbage pick-up day today :)
Tobey on the back of the sofa. He usually drags the rug down off the back & makes a nest of it. :|
I just stumbled across this and had to share. Some of Mrs Slocum's best lines:
The actress is Mollie Sugden (1922-2009)
A couple songs I hope will brighten your holidays. Whiskey Christmas and Holly Jolly Christmas (it's worth listening to the end)
