Just a reminder

August 27, 2014

Silly little birds!

The birdbath is full but they insist on holding onto the pond liner to sip water. It seems as if they are daredevils, challenging one another to climb down anything (aerator hose, electric cord, plastic flower pot hanger holding the waterlily, leaves) to get closer to the pond surface.


One of the koi came up to investigate.

It's my 66th birthday today.

As I look back at 55, 44, 33 and so on ... it was an interesting life.

I wonder where I'll be at 77.

It's the light at the end of a dark tunnel ...

The bridge reconstruction rerouted all truck loads over 8' 6" wide.
Surprise surprise ... I was on a unplanned vacation this summer.
As things return to normal I'll be able to put aside funds we'll need to get through this winter.
I was seriously getting worried as my attempt at job hunting isn't working out at all.
Not even a nibble.

About In_The_Wind

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieve it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. ~~~~~~~~~ For, it ends in the blink of an eye. Carpe Diem (Seize the day)!
