Moon, Morning, and More

Jul 29, 2018 07:07

Last night, MyJeff and I stood on the back deck watching the gorgeously golden still-full moon rise above our treetop horizon. *Sigh* Such glorious beauty is in this world, just for the stopping to look for it: to look up at the sky ... to look down into the heart of a flower ... to look into the smiling face of a loved one ( Read more... )

I love when you write this kind of lyrical post. You words are so filled with the joy you find in nature, that they inspire me. I am delighted work is going well for both of you; I am really trying to avoid reading all of the political news which is so upsetting to me. This week has been a tough one; but, it's ending with newly found resolve. I have to erase Tim completely from my life and I need to get about it sooner than later.

The lighter is lovely. My dad, a pipe-smoker, would have loved the look of the one you listed and sold. My nephew Brennan has kept some of his grandfather's pipes, the fancy ones though my father was much more likely to have a corn cob pipe dangling from his mouth.

Big HUGS!

Thanks, Neil. Nature does make me happy--inspires me. I'm glad you also feel inspiration when you read my descriptions.

Yes. It does sound as though you need to cut any remaining ties to Tim and let him finish leaving your life. But I suggest not "erasing" him. You may need a small reminder to help you learn, grow, and strengthen. Just a thought, on my part. Best of luck letting go and going on.

Isn't it interesting how humanity tends to turn any-&-everything into art? Even such a practical thing as a pocket fire starter. That tendency, alone, makes us special. IMHO.

Lottsa HUGS back!

The moon was really pretty this past week. So bright on the clear nights. :)

Speaking of birds, the other day when I was leaving work I was driving down this street and it looked like there were 2-3 big old crows up ahead of me in the street. Then when I got right up to them I realized they were vultures. :o I did not realize we had vultures here in Minnesota. I did a little search and found that we have Turkey Vultures here. Wow.......

That is a beautiful lighter. :)
Hugs, Jon

I agree with you on how lovely the moon was this past week. Actually, one of the first things I did this morning was walk out back to take another look at her. She's still pretty. ;-D

Years ago, when MyJeff and I did primitive, fur trade reenactment camping, our first camp of each season was early in May in a pasture outside of Chatfield. (Yup. In your neighborhood, practically.) Anyway, we often saw turkey vultures flying overhead down there. Minnesota is a state of broad variety, and can surprise even a native like yourself. (Then she snickers into her sleeve and skips merrily down the winding path.)

LOL...........

Camping in May? That sounds like it could get chilly. :o

I got a nice view of the moon when I left the theater last night. :)

Indeed. It was often quite cool. But oh-so-lovely. Besides, fur trade reenactment means wool coats and campfires with hot coffee and warming conversation.

Glad to hear that the eBay listing was worthwhile! I need to do some listing myself, but can't quite be bothered. I have dedicated a box at my parents' for future eBay listings - for things that are too good to give away on sell at a car boot sale.

"...but can't quite be bothered..."

That's it, all right. I really should do more, but...

Good luck with finding opportunity to list those good items on eBay. Your plate is pretty full right now--and your bowl and your glass and your cup...

I am heading to Brownsea Island this weekend, so no loft-clearing for me!
