Thanks for stopping by my blog today.. I had an e-mail asking about my titles.. well.. they are brief statements about my world today.. if that makes sense to you.. and of course they are meant to make you wonder.. But just this once I'll explain today's to you.. the first part you should figure out.. you know what today is and yes it is hot and dry.. I had a message from an old friend today.. we talked about life.. Mine is still the same.. I am busy living and trying to love everyone.. and finally.. Dave moved the Turkeys to a bigger pen today.. I had been saying they needed to trade with some chickens.. he surprised me and did it without telling me first.. he likes to surprise me.. I love him .. Now that you understand the titles.. you will see that I'm not crazy after all.. I hope you will still stop by now that you know I'm just regular.. Have a wonderful day!

Wednesday.. Hot.. Dry.. and Dripping with Drama..

"I'd rather be rejected than used because they both amount to the same thing in the end, but being used takes a lot longer." ~ Marilyn vos Savant ++++++++++++++++++++ Just a few words about drama... Last night our small town reeled as word was passed from mouth to ear around and around of the shooting of several of our young folks and the death of one.. within fifteen minutes of the crime there were posts on the most popular of the social networking sights about what had happened and who had done what and reasons and causes and "let me tell yous" and "I know because I once lived next door"... tales.. Yes I said tales.. most of it was based on I heard.. she heard.. he heard.. so we shall repeat..we shall change the parts we doubt.. we shall add our opinion.. we shall say we heard from someone who knew.. and we shall rush to the wonderful Internet and share what we think is true.. my own children are young adults who knew the victims .. I commend the families of these young men.. they have been very kind to the few commenters that they have openly corrected.. I would not have been.. Drama.. the need of some to be important when the whole world is busy staring at the tragedy of another ... Lets all think about the needs of a family to grieve and have their privacy.. let the drama rest.. you can be important again next week or maybe the next.. thank God that this time it wasn't your family who was stricken.. Please keep all families who grieve the loss of their young men and women.. both here at home to crimes and to those who we lose every day in service to our country.. in your thoughts and in your prayers.. Have a great day! Patsy ++++++++++++++++++++

Wednesday.. a Week Half Done!

" A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened." ~ Albert Camus * * * * * * It's another hot Wednesday.. hump day to some.. a week half done to others.. and to many it is just another day.. maybe even a day late and a dollar short to some.. ..

I am making a late post tonight.. we have been having a rough and rowdy thunder storm.. even now lightening streaks violently across the night sky.. I love it!!.. Rain has finally been pouring down.. The dogs thought I was crazy when I tried to get them to join me for a walk.. I guess they don't like water as much as I do.. Thanks for visiting my photo-blog today! I invite you to leave me a comment! Have a wonderful day!
