Time rolls on .....

... and seems to pick up speed. Could it be due to the 'downhill slant?' Took a try or two to get in here to be able to post. Almost wondered if Dear Blogger was going to allow me to get here to post, but here I am! :)

It's a beautiful night outside ....... clear skies, moon, and stars ..... wind a bit breezy ...... warm wood fire inside ......... knitting to do whenever I can settle to it again ....... darning and mending, too ....... The leaves are all gone from the trees now and the stark lengths of various wood sleep ....... waiting for the snow to come, and leave again, before new green growth developes ......

Tweety can make you smile!

....... when stuff is building up, and everyone/everything seems to be 'raining' on your parade .......... Oh yes ...... Tweety can make you smile! :-)

It's going rain here today .......

and it is a blessing, as we really do need the moisture in the ground. Without it we wouldn't be able to see such beauty come from the earth ............

Debateable ........

It is debateable if I am happy with you Blogger, or not ......... You did 'finally' let me comment on a friend's posting on her blog ........ after great lengths, though! It's been less than a month since I last blogged here on my own blog ........ surely I am still the same blogger I was than, so please, will you see me as such. now, and in the future. If blogging were not such a hassle, I would blog more often. Please consider more kindness to bloggers in the future, Dear Blogger.

Blogger .......

you and I are still having issues ...... :( ....... I would like to come visit with you more often if you would be more compatible. You sure ain't what you advertise ....... I really do not want to create a new blog when I try to leave a comment on my friend's blog. Won't you please post my comment and be done with it?! I already have had a blog on here before this one, and you won't let me assess that one; so why would I want to create a third???????

Now Blogger .......

I did everything you asked me to do, and now you still will not let me post comments on Annette's blog! Grrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!

Blah .........

.... despite the Sunshine, I'm having a 'blah' day .....

I just had a sudden urge to ......

go to one of my bookshelves and grab a book at random, find page 57, and read the first two paragraphs on that page. Here they are ..........

Everything was going well and the vessel was taking the seas in fine shape, when suddenly at six o'clock in the evening the men, through a rift in the blinding snow, caught a gleam of light from a lighthouse.

All hands were on deck. Instantly they knew that it could be nothing else than the lights of Sable Island, and its position indicated that they were to the northward of the island. Quickly came the captain's order, "Hard down and haul the foresheet aft." The spokes spun around rapidly, but it was too late, for even then the boat was in the breakers, and a hard bump told that she had struck, and was in shoal water.

Experiencing rain and wind .....

...... seems to be almost a constant these days ...... along with aching ..... I wanna free of it and live in the land of Sunshine!! I know ...... I know ...... Better days really are coming!! :-)

It was a faint glimpse of Spring .......

yesterday! I know that I saw it! Really, I did!! Winter is upon us again today, but yes! it was there yesterday! ..... that faint glimpse of Spring!!

This picture is from a previous year ..... and yet, under the snow, the beginnings of this year's growth has begun. How Wonderful!

Doing a book study .....

on Monday evenings for the next few weeks. The book is So Long, Insecurity by Beth Moore. Going to be fun, interesting, and productive.

As the morning brightens .....

I pull on my blue jeans and shirt, and face another day .......

Love!

Oh, sleepless night ....

why did you drop by again?? PTL for naps, and the opportunity to indulge in such!
