fall day, 9th. Nov.

Sometimes it is hard to see where one part of a picture begins and where it ends. Is it one or is it two. It all comes down to perspective.

some leaves fall and retain their grace, other’s wither and fade away, yet still there is beauty, for when they live, we so enjoyed all they provided. In the brand new light of a sunny day, we know that with today’s change, it will be fleeting, for tomorrow, the cycle begins again.

Today this house still stands, but soon the new owner is going to rebuild, and what I saw today, will never be again.

My memory will be of the aging couple who lived here when we moved in next door. I am sure they had to adjust to our totally revamping their previous neighbours home and garden. Now many years later, it is our turn to adjust. The new owner is a developer, and where once stood a single family home, will be a multiple structure. Infill.

What will tomorrow bring, your guess is as good as mine. What is fact, is that no change is permanent, change is the only constant in life.

Thursday doors

doors can be so inviting, complex or just plain in your face

whatever, when you see a door that is closed,

you want to go inside, especially if it is in a location

where had you come at another time,

it would have been open to visitors.

or like this old fire truck, we could look,

but access was not an option

I encounter doors, in all shapes sizes, and

in very different places

always a door that presents itself

is one of curiosity and intrigue

just imagine all the stories that can be told

thanks for visiting,

another Thursday Doors.

Wednesday =musing

another day of sunshine

however,

soon, my days are numbered

unlike my neighbour

the firestation

I will disappear

and be but a fading memory

fall

a season of new beginnings

where colours

taken on different hues

when we see

an array

of rusts,golden glows

and burnt umbers

while tired ladies

of yesterday

settle down for another

winter

where not sunshine

will bathe and soothe

their tired bones

but where the winter snows

will settle on their shoulders

and like a cozy shawl

while away the long winter nights

waiting with them

for the winds of change

I tried wordless – didn’t work -what I did manage was to let my “fish” simmer away in the pan, till it burnt, a lovely shade of charcoal black

sigh…. on the bright side, I did get my blog done..

and.. I enjoyed every minute of it..

positive/negative

Have a great day everyone….

Chop suey Tuesday- impressions

First Impressions – we all have them, when we see something, we take it in and in seconds, we have an impression

No matter the impression, I find myself looking at the details, and the story the building tells me.

Sometimes, the impression is one that is a statement, and I “know” it is not a place that I want to visit or know too much about it. It has a facade that clearly says…”I’m here, don’t mess with me”

This oldie sat off the road, I had to get out and take a closer look, this is the back of the house. We tried to find out more about the house, it was for sale, we took the details, unfortunately, the seller, didn’t have a web site, and we were out of State by the time we were where we could look further into it. I’ve not forgotten, and given the time hope that we will discover more about the house, and the selling price.

What is the fascination, don’t really know… we are on the look out for a property in the States that we can easily get to, and tour from there. Maybe it is just a dream, its nice to be able to travel into the possibilities. Life is busy, it is nice to have a place to drift too

my travels take me to a lot of places, I thrill on them all. Each tells a story, each one is unique. I feel like that about people too. It is not what someone else tells me, it is what I “see” for myself.

The past may play a part in what a person, or place is “today”… however, we live in the now, and it is what you see and feel NOW that counts.

PL Principle #2 I will not have complaints about others, matters nor the weather. Rather I will always be creative and look for shortcomings in my own thinking and actions.

PL Principle #6 I will not be stubborn, being captured by my own thoughts.

PL Precept # 6 Efface your self conceptions.

What impression will you make on the world today?

a smile works every time.

Have a good day everyone…

A stop along the way

knock, knock

I knew no one was home

so I took time to roam

explore, and enjoy the decor

will you look at this doll

she’s had her doors done up out of wood

with no Chevy in sight

I turned to the Ford

I admit it had a charm

and, it wasn’t in a barn

this is the babe

who welcomed us in

when these ladies, give with the charm

I can’t help but beam

with delight

I raise a glass to the bad ass

owners who track them down

and give them new life

PL Precept #7 Everything exists in relativity

each picture, shows a piece of art, someone made time, to reconstruct, or build

these gems for us to enjoy.

on my part, appreciation, and gratitude is sent out to them for their time and efforts

just reliving my visit brought back a big smile.

sometimes in dreams

To achieve a quiet heart, so that we can live in greater harmony with the world around us, takes an effort. In life, when we are balanced, grounded, we are capable of better decisions, and more effective results to our actions.

If we are active, when we should be at rest, then when it is time to act, we are often ill prepared. We can miss opportunities that had we been rested and ready, would have been easy to deal with.

For the last many days I have been living with a sinus infection. Ok it is not the end of the world, however, when the symptoms gang up on me, I really do find myself leaning towards,a complaining mind. (that is not the right way/direction to go)

Like a hamster in a cage, running, running on my wheel, running and getting nowhere. After chasing around looking for a clinic that was open today, I finally gave up and came home. I will take the time to reflect on just why this physical annoyance is giving me grief.

It is said, that the “superior” person, first achieves quiet heart, and then acts. Hmmmmp I have some serious winding down to do, 1st step, when my body says rest, I need to listen.

breakfast – steamed rice, poached egg

Still revisiting pictures of Sharon Springs. NY while I have my breakfast. Wondering what I’ll find this year when we head out on another road trip. I’m drawn to landscapes with a “story”, at least one that speaks to me. When I take the picture, I’m trying to capture the thoughts, or story line that came to mind when I came across the “scene” Some are just my artistic expression, of a time and space, and others are like visual bookmarks for my “gray matter”

We are all different in how we catalogue information, for me .. I know… I’m visual… my desk always looks like gremlins came in the night and tossed everything looking for hidden treasures. Of course, it is the work of my lazy mind and my easily distracted attention. Smiles sweetly, and looks up with innocent eyes. Of course I know it’s a mess… but it is my mess, and I like it. that is what having one’s own space is all about. =^_^=

Now breakfast – small bowl of steamed rice, small helping of pickled cucumber (Japanese) and one lightly poached egg (omega) on my rice.

PL Precept #2

To Live is to Express One’s Self

We will each do this in our own unique way. Life will continually present you with new moments of wonder, awe, and surprises. Some you will delight in and other’s may not charm you as much, but each and every one of the moments, are moments we are living.. and part of. It is your choice, to live happy, when challenged, find a new creative way to overcome, to surpass, and go beyond.

Have a great day everyone!!

Thursday doors – “doors”

Sharon Springs,NY

I don’t know whether to thank Norm or not. I have alway had a “love” for doors. From early years I collected pictures of doors, admired doors and bla bla bla…. but with his little challenge, it has put “focus” on doors again, in a sense that I see a door and wonder.. hmmm will do this for the challenge..

My husband and I for some odd reason, have taken to a game on Facebook called Cafeland. It is a cute game, we have a restaurant and we make food, sell to customers and of course, build the business and you make money, and if you keep at it, your money of course builds. I began playing the game years ago, when I first began in FB, I soon tired of it, being too busy with commitments etc. in my day to day, and my friends had basically moved on to other games.

What I didn’t know my husband who does not play games, except Scrabble and Word with Friends, who had started a restaurant to help me while I was playing, liked seeing the $$ add up, so he just over the years kept playing, Long and the short of it is, thar when a new friend learned about Cafeland, she started to play and I reopened my cafe so that I could help her with the challenges. WELL Hubby was now way ahead of me in not only points but in $$$. He’d built up a fortune.

I began to play regularly again, to try to catch up, but with years under his belt, he is just too far ahead in points and he has managed his money so that, I think there is just too much there to work through. So being the considerate wife, I offered to remodel his cafe ….evil grin…. knowing his wife, kind husband says sure, and leaves me to it on his computer and with his accumulated fortune. hehehehehehehe.. pulls my witches hat further down on my head.

I redid all the floors, walls, put in new windows, decor, and still he has millions and millions left over. I even put in new DOORS.. two of them. Here you go Norm… it is while I’m looking at the doors, what to put in, that I get this little “ping” I start wondering if I can use the doors in Cafeland, in Norm’s Thursday doors. Norm!! what have you started.
