Clouds With the Invigorating Crunch of Gravel and Dirt While Aliens Watch

March 30 2020

This morning.

Cloud update … HA!

March 31 2020

That was invigorating! Went for a walk, in a new to me place. It’s as if each step was an infusion of nature’s energy. Along with the sound of the crunch of the rocks, gravel, and dirt, I feel rejuvenated. Plus, found some huge love along the way.

Cloud update … Ha! First two photos taken an hour ago. Last two from this morning. The wind was blowing so hard, the camera wouldn’t focus.

They’re still at it. This from a couple of hours ago.

Throwback Post – Hold Out Your Hands

**THROWBACK POST**

May 27 2014:

“Hold out your hands to feel the luxury of the sunbeams. Press the soft blossoms against your cheek, and finger their graces of form, their delicate mutability of shape, their pliancy and freshness. Expose your face to the aerial floods that sweep the heavens, “inhale great draughts of space,” wonder, wonder at the wind’s unwearied activity.

Pile note on note the infinite music that flows increasingly to your soul from the tactual sonorities of a thousand branches and rumbling waters ….. I am sure that if a fairy bade me choose between the sense of sight and that of touch, I would not part with the warm, endearing contact of human hands or the wealth of form, the mobility and fullness that press into my palms.” – The Faith of Helen Keller

Walk with Thomas earlier this evening … Just got to see how this picture turned out .. LOVE it! Looks like a giant lit match or giant glow ball on a stick! HA! It’s a lamp post with the sun lined up right on top of it!

LOVE looking for LOVE everywhere we go!

Came across a dead bird. Thomas said we had to have a funeral for it. He found a stick to push it into the bushes. I said some kind words about Mr. Birds soul … and we carried on … then we came across the big heart rock in one of these pictures! xoxo

Honeysuckle …. I LOVE HONEYSUCKLE!!!!!!!!!! Intoxicating!

Autumn Colors and Good

September 17 2018:

Midday walk with Lillian. It’s cooling down enough that we can have a walk midday now. Wahoo!!!! Here comes autumn!

September 18 2018:

Solo walk this morning. It’s been a year or two since I walked around this entire loop. It felt incredibly good and was deeply inspiring. I visited a few old friends I used to hang out with often …. The trees …. And told them I loved and missed them. Love, love, love!

Amazing and Beautiful and Starlit and Shining Bright and Bee

June 3 2018:

Walk with Thomas before dinner. We watched for about fifteen minutes as this momma duck led her wee ducklings through the rocks to the water.

It was difficult to watch and not want to help as they kept sliding down the rocks. They finally made it!!! Safe and sound!! Whew! I circled the ducklings and the momma in blue because they blend with the rocks.

There was quite the cloud show.Rainbow cloud in the second photo. The photo doesn’t show all the colors; yet, it was amazing. Incredibly beautiful!!!

**THROWBACK POST**

February 23 2016:

Thomas and I went on a great afternoon walk and found a cool surprise message! Thank you to who ever created this great surprise! We left it for another lucky person to find.

Then we hit pinecones into the water. He asked if we could go for a walk and hit pinecones on our date this Saturday. I would love nothing more Thomas!!
