To catch a humming bird

Last night I had a humming bird enter the house through an open door. It was a most welcome guest but once it got in it could not find its own way back out. It saw a window and tried to go through the glass. Well SuperRandy came to the rescue... I really didn't know what to do at first because i know they are so fragile. But after a minute of thought I decided the best approach was to catch it in a shirt very delicately. My plan worked. The humming bird was catch and released outside with no harm or damage. Simple little act but made me feel super.

I am now in the process of packing and moving. So much to do!! I have to change my address, my phone number, my drivers licence, my internet provider, etc etc etc... I am only moving 30 miles from here but I think it would be no harder to move half way around the world. lol But none the less this will cut into my time here.....

As Sung by Cat Stevens

lyrics by Eleanor Farjeon

Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the word

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day

Thank you for being my inspiration Lady.

Tired because I work hard all week and I need a break.

Battered because I feel run down physically and emotionally.

Blue because I feel lonely for the first time in many years.

Well I just bought a new house, wow......houses are a big decision. When you buy a house it makes you plant roots. You can't just decide to go live somewhere else. You make your choice and you have to stick to it. You have to take care of it too. I like the choice I made and I have no problem sticking by my choice either. But now I need to convince someone to live with me in it! I hope the empty echo's don't wind up depressing me before then At least I don't have to live in a tent now.....

Group Problems

A while back I created a group Called Canadian Love and Friendship. Nothing special, I just wanted to have a place where those from Canada and those with an interest in it could share things of mutual interest. It now has three members and that is good. But the problem is 50% of the posts I make are banned and so are the replies of me and the other members. There seems to be no reason...fff just says comment or post denied because of banned topic. So what is the deal? Is canada a banned topic? I never had this problem before in other groups.... I even contact fff and ask why but there do not reply. So does anyone know why this is happening? Maybe i should delete group?

Just in case you are having a rough day (week,year, life) here is a stress management technique recommended in all the latest psychological journals.

The funny thing is that it really does work and will make you smile.

1. Picture yourself lying on your tummy on a warm rock that hangs out over a crystal clear stream.

2. picture yourself with both your hands dangling in the cool running water.

3. Birds are sweetly singing in the cool mountain air.

4. No one knows your secret place.

5. you are in total seclusion from that hectic place called the world.

6. the soothing sound of a gentle water falls fills the air with a cascade of serenity.

7. the water is so crystal clear that you can easily make out the face of the person you are holding underwater.

There see? It really does work. You are smiling already. Feel free to forward this if you know others who might benefit from this technique.

All you have to do is flutter your wings dear gentle butterfly and all the way across the pacific ocean the effect will be magnified and felt in my heart.

Sung by Dolly Parton

Love is like a butterfly

As soft and gentle as a sigh

The multicolored moods of love are like it's satin wings

Love makes your heart feel strange inside

It flutters like soft wings in flight

Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing

I feel it when you're with me

It happens when you kiss me

That rare and gentle feeling that I feel inside

Your touch is soft and gentle

Your kiss is warm and tender

Whenever I am with you I think of butterflies

Love is like a bag of butterflies.
The multicolored moods of love are like it's satin wings

Love makes your heart feel strange inside

It flutters like soft wings in flight

Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing

Your laughter brings me sunshine

Everyday is spring time

And I am only happy when you are by my side

How precious is this love we share

How very precious, sweet and rare

Together we belong like daffodils and butterflies

Love is like a butterfly

As soft and gentle as a sigh

The multicolored moods of love are like it's satin wings

Love makes your heart feel strange inside

It flutters like soft wings in flight

Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing

Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing

It has been in the mid 30's and sunny for over a week now. And when we are working on a roof we can add 5 to 10 degrees extra. We have to take this roof and change it from red terra cotta tiles to black shingles and we are adding a roof extension. That is phase one...lol
Phase 2 well will replace all the windows and doors and add 4 sky lights. Phase 3 we will re side the house and the indoor pool.

Right now I am fighting to not get heat stroke every day. The weather man says for the next few days the weather is supposed to be 5 to 7 degrees cooler. YEAH!
