My first glimpse of a woodpecker at the feeders. I did my best to be patient, to wait, be ready, but he/she was having none of it.
I even went away and came back.. nope. This morning, the young blue jays were less cautious, when the peanuts (the few there were) were offered, once they realized the little chippies were going to take them all, they bravely came forward.
I’m happy to report that I’ve started to see the crows again, not many, but one here and there.. I have missed them and look forward to their return.
What is “Normal” is different for each individual. everyone has a different way of thinking and doing. It’s important to understand others’ feelings.

The past leads to Now and Now leads to the future. Life is an accumulation of moments. Cherish each One.

Today is the 11th of the month, there will be a 10 a.m. service at the church – Ancestors’ Day ceremony will take place at 10 a.m.
the little door cut out so the newly hatched can leave when they are ready
doors that open with welcome – on buildings that are there for the “people” community- for the good of “others..
What happens when the Sr. minister of an establishment makes the personal choice not to be vaccinated? 98% of the members/community are vaccinated. Sad that the “world” these days is so divided.
Listen carefully and speak clearly. A good relationship starts from truly understand each other.

PL Principle #4 I will live with the spirit of Misasage (Devotion) working for the happinessof others
Reminder- Founders day (Kyososai) is this coming Sunday, August 1. It is when we pray our appreciation and honor the spirits of our Founders, and rededicate ourselves to spreading and sharing the philosophy we live for the realization of world peace. If you have not heard from your minister, contact the church or a Hokyoshi in your area for how, when and where it is to be celebrated in your area.
We welcome everyone to share in this day. Even if it just in saying a silent prayer with us that the world we live in will continue towards a better understanding of our unique natures, and that each in our own way will work towards World Peace.

Wandering the back roads with a friend is always so much more rewarding then when on my own. Today I made the trip to South Mountain with food for the food bank, after the “task” was done, we were free to wander where-ever the car took us
The quiet vistas we saw along the way, were soothing to the eyes. Living in the city where we are constantly being surrounded by the sounds of a vibrant growing urban sprawl, it was a delightful interlude. No sirens, no heavy traffic, tall buildings, over crowded streets, just the open roads, quaint little towns and wonderful farmland with acres of fields of soon to be table ready produce.
It was fun to discover new places of interest, and to learn more about our “selves” as we shared stories and memories of past adventures.
Remember today’s calendar ,PL day 12… “let’s begin today with a smile”.. I did and it continued through out the day. Friendships are so important. If you have not reached out in awhile to a friend you’ve missed.. now’s the time.. Most of us have had our vaccines, regulations are being relaxed, we still have to be prudent and take care. But… finally we can spend some quality time with a friend in person… What a joy!
How was your day? I was out door collecting today… can’t wait till Thursday!
Till soon! Oyashikiri….
We did stop at a fresh vegetable stand… we both took advantage of the freshly picked green beans! Yummy.. also got some young fresh garlic.. double yum!
Good morning everyone! What a wonderful day, overcast, rain, clouds, now is a prefect time to get out before the rain starts to come down in earnest. First I would like to share with you this wonderful collection of doors taken by one of my very best friends who surprised me this past year by asking me if she could show me her doors. Have known her for decades (yes plural) never knew she loved doors.!!! She had been catching up with my blogs and saw our Thursday Door feature. She told me “hey I have doors too, I love doors, can I share them with you?” You all know my response to that.. and I asked permission of her to share them all with you. =^_^=
This s today’s quote from the PL Calendar..
Tell yourself “Things happen” Even if something is inconvenient, once you accept it you will be able to move onto the next step.
Perfect Liberty 2021.8
This is an example of how wonderful life is, to know someone over the years who has become special and part of your “family” then discover that >once again, you have found another common interest< and you realize that even when we think we know it all, or assume “we know”…. we don’t. Every body around us is a multi faceted diamond. More to love and appreciate when we live with an open mind and heart!!
Doors lead us to new discoveries, about the world around us.. and in turn, about ourSELVES.
Don’t think “I can’t” from the start. Begin by taking the first step, then you’ll be able to see what comes next and a path will open.
Perfect Liberty 2021.6
Visualize or imagine yourself having or doing or being what you are working towards. feel, see, taste, touch, hear. Notice the reaction of those around you…. but.. make it all ok with you. No matter what other people may think or how they react. YOU matter!
In behind the soccer fields, way down well into the woodlands
At first I was disappointed, my first stop was where the big hill is for tobogganing. (winter activity).. when I explored the possibilities along the trails close to the hill, I found them more suitable to “bikers”.. not the first time I’ve considered the idea of a trail bike, the kind with the big tires. ….. don’t worry the thought came, and went.. =^_^=
some sections today were very steep, I needed to craft a walking stick to help me balance when I started the upward climb.
found a carpet of dandelions – the bees love them
The sun stayed out for me .. it was a beautiful day, got my exercise, now I get to sit back and just relax.
If I can exercise every day, so can you !!
