Adorable little fun wood pieces all decked out for the hollidays. This was my favourite
Another sun filled day in the capitol. Temperature is to climb as the day wears on.
Enjoy the day everyone, be productive, efficient, whatever brings a smile. And remember, share that smile of yours, it is priceless.

Looking for a covered bridge, found one.. just not in the state I expected to find it in. It is a bridge, and it is covered. =^_^=. We were over on the Quebec side today, no sitting in restaurants, had to order and take food out. We also discovered the deer hunting season has begun. (unhappy face)
Wandered off the road, following animal tracks, the vegetation shows where they cross into the woodlands. it was a beautiful day. I stood still hidden by the brush and enjoyed the quiet and the peacefulness of the landscape. What a joy and blessing to live in a country where I can still visit and enjoy such wonders.
Enjoy the moment while you wait. Things come about when they re meant to happen. Think o what you an do for the time being, and don’t rush the outcome.

Met these lovelies the other day. We showed an interest in each other, so I advanced carefully to have a visit. Although I did my best to chat, except for the one on the right, I was met with indifference. Although the one on the far end, seemed to be listening, when I drew closer, the reaction showed me clearly, I had misread the interest.
I had thought that I was being friendly, but my communication skills were not appreciated by this little group.
I did get a second glance by this little group of grazers, but again, no takers when I tried for a more up close and personal visit. In fact the saddle brown (on the left) which appealed to me, turned and purposely walked away. They likely knew I was simply too “city” for them.
In these instances I found it easy to say “thank you” and move on, I tried to interact, but they simply were not interested. There are other times tho’ when we try communicating with a friend, and the reaction is not positive, in fact it gets hostile and aggressive. That is harder to smile and say thank you too.* In PL, we try, we look at what we could have done, or how we could have perhaps approached the subject differently.
I see and hear all around me these days, what seems to be an environment of hostility, negative aggressive thinking and behaviour. I can understand why so many are having difficulty finding “peace” in their lives. We forget, that WE contribute to the environment we live in.
It is important to say “thank you” … Everything that appears in front of you is all material for you to improve yourself whether its food, people or things. Learn to accept everything, whether it is something you like or not.

Today I am a tree, I stand here before you for all to see
My years of standing in one place has meant that I have a lot of memories
of what was, and can ponder on what will be
I know that as the seasons come and go, my history
is in plain view for all to see
my wounds have healed, and many of my arms have been broken
or been taken from me, yet I am patient for I know
that with the passing of time I will return to the earth/ Universe
Meanwhile, I will stand and wait for someone to notice me
I was strong and beautiful in my youth, my outer body is now
textured, my open wounds portraits of my many experiences
I salute you dear friend as you pass by and give thanks
that you did come by to spend time in my garden, my patch on this Universe.
May many blessings of the day shower your life with joy and happiness
Please come again, there may be less of my physical self,
but, always, my spirit will be here to greet you.

One never stops learning. I found a video on how to tap a birch tree. I never knew that there was such a thing as birch tree sap wine! https://youtu.be/h77ytr5UzBY
The sap can be drunk fresh or made into wine, syrup or ice cubes – the writer Maurice Clother says it is great with single malts or with gin and tonic… =^_^= Who knew.. (foraging for wild food) In the video he also shows you a homemade lathe. What a craftsman.
Begin each day with a renewed sense of appreciation. Always remember that you are here today thanks to God, and thanks to the many people around you. Let’s make each day meaningful by starting out with a feeling of gratitude.

Fall and winter is when we get to see just how many trees there are in the the forest If you happen by at just the right time, you get to see their shadows adding to the design of the textures on the ground.
We had a light dusting of the snow still on the ground from the snow that fell the other day. Today with the warmer weather, it could disappear, in my next shot you will see the wonderful earthy colours of the ground that was more open to the sunshine.
I love the fall. Simple statement that I make each year. The season never fails to thrill me with its bountiful warm rich colours.
Your smile energizes the people around you. A smile has the ability to put others at ease and give them energy. strive to be the first to offer a smile each day to those around you.

Its snowing, it is dark and I’m not ready to call it a day. I don’t often get time to just listen to music. Since I’ve started working with wool (roving) doing needle felting, I turned on YouTube, and up came George Strait doing Boot Scootin’ Boogie what a fun piece to work to. Lately everyone is so serious, things are so strained…the fun they( musicians) were having and the bouncing of the music was just what I needed.
I loved to dance.. in my younger day, we were out every night dancing ..we’d close the clubs. what happens to us .. well, ok to me. I can’t recall when I went out dancing, or even got up and danced! True I am busy and I do a lot of things I love doing.. Music however, where it was always a part of my “chilling” time.. is seldom something I gravitate to.
My father used to say ” the only thing in life that is constant is change”.. and that is very true for me. It was nice to take a trip down memory lane while listening to music this evening.
New doors to opportunity open for us everyday. it takes courage to step one foot in front of the other, it takes courage to step away from negative habits or thoughts. Our past is always part of us, with all we experience, we become who we are in the present. I am going to try to do more listening to music that makes me want to dance. =^_^=
If you have faith the size of mustard seed.. nothing will be impossible for you.
