" You must learn to be still in the midst of activity and to be vibrantly alive in repose. "
--Indira Gandhi... a link !
No Debi... I never did get the info about Uncle John Ray Nichols, Jr. ( My 3rd response sent by e-mail that is yet to be acknowledged to an aging e-mail sent by my sister Debi ).
Absolutely gorgeous weather again today. The 10 day forecast, however, shows a cooling trend approaching with good chance of rain next Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Still... low to upper 70° Fahrenheit through Tuesday likely. Spring here Saturday ( today ) !!!
Loaded up on generic Claritin ( 60 count ) and eye drops for allergy eyes... $25 USD. My allergies bad this past week making it extremely difficult to drop off to sleep with the apnia mask on.
BLOG, poetry, Da Boards, updated anti-virus and spyware detection programs, fed and grained horses, rub eyes, blow nose, sneeze, blow nose, sneeze, blow nose, sneeze...
Gail had a workout at her chiropractors' on Thursday and is barely hobbling along today. I tried the stair-stepping contraption she was tormented on after her workout and believe me - it's much too intense to just wham-bang start on for too great a length of time when one has not been exercising much.
Chrissy off from work today with Ashley in tow. They went to David's school to watch a Yo-Yo assembly... cool !
Dinner Friday: Chrissy and kids to pizza... Gail with her Mom and Dad to Chinese Restaurent... I cooked pork chops and rice and spinach for myself... yum !
Our washing machine took a dump ( third used one in about (3) months ) so Chrissy did the coin op washing thing with her family's cloths. Don't know what Gail and I are to do... 'prolly' wash at the in-laws until they tire of us. I've taken to hand washing my newer whites in the sink and letting them air dry.

Love Demeter
Gentle spirit
Her face
soft and furrowed
from laughter
Tender passion burning
... love
... desire

Sunrise
Multi-chroma hues
paint the sunrise sky of home
God's glory affirmed

Muse
Autumn colors fuse
Scarlet to yellow-green hues
Calm reflection pools

" Love Demeter "... Demeter... a link ! Pay special attention to the next-to-last paragraph for Demeter's passion. The title also my toned down homage to Led Zeppelin's " D'yer Mak'er " ( pronounced " Jermaker " ) of English ( and, of course, dubious ) origin.
" Sunrise "... a Haiku: Fantastic photo of a sunrise in the hills for inspiration. My typo in the entry... " afirmed "... oops !
" Muse "... a Haiku: ... to ponder or reflect. The photo of an Autumn scene reflected in a vast reflection pool... serene and lovely. Appears I'm getting hung up on color ! Looked like a great place to meditate.
Ak morolung !!!
