January 31

 ~ waiting for breakfast~

      dismal gray day

   matching his feathers

   his light as air armor

   warding off the cold

still a cheery countenance

  happy trilling emanates 

we should all heed his lesson

        ....and sing.......

January 27- Thinking of Spring

Fast

Run

                                                                                Eager
                                                                                Equine
                                                                                Dancing
                                                                                Ornery
                                                                                 Moving on!

                                                                              FREEDOM!

January 29

silent snow
    cushioning the world
            against
                 the harsh barbs
                          of
                        reality

January 28

 

snow envelopes the world

words escape

snow speaks for itself

sno-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-w  happy!!!!!

January 26- Daily Life Is Not Always Pretty

                                                            
The Face of Bacon

I woke up this morning and what did I see?
Five little piggies staring at me
Strung up on stakes
Heads and feet in a pot
Happy little piggies-
These are NOT!

Hog butchering day is an annual affair
A gathering of families in cold winter air
Cooking up a year's worth of family meals
Using everything from the pigs
Except
     for
THE SQUEALS!

January 25

sharp, cold barbs blending together to form a heart..........

January 24

*******************************************************************
    Just a pile of stones
      shades of gray
 seemingly all the same
             yet
     all so different
kind of like faces in a crowd
  the differences lie within.

Reflections of the world outside

from 

the safety of the inner sanctum

Day Three

********************************************************************************************

                   Cumulus curtains part,

         revealing an ethereal, glowing orb~

                     the first full moon

         lighting our way into the new year.

Today's small stone...........

Walking thru' life, 

          one step at a time, 

                one foot in front of the other, 

                     dancing to your own inner music, 

                            marching to the beat of a different drummer..........

                ..........notes in the key of life ~ different to us all................

Welcome!!!!

                                                       This is blog number 3.

                                                

                                Yes, I know, I must be crazy!!!

But, this will be a very simple blog, a chronicle of my days, each day for the rest of the year, in one photograph.

Since I am starting this a bit late - I should have titled the blog  365 minus 18!!

Giving credit, where credit is due,  I got the idea from my bloggy friend Michelle, who has done this for the last year.It's quite interesting.

Also found here, at least thru the end of January, will be a "daily stone", inspired by the blog "a river of stones"

                     Being a collector of river rocks, stones,and other nature detritus,and an amateur wordsmith,  I thought this most appropos
                                                              for me!

A stone is just a thought for the day, maybe something profound, or more than likely NOT, that comes to mind, and will be posted here.

So,  here it is, a simple blog, I hope you will follow-  let's see if I can keep up....................................
