Old and New

Here in Port Orchard there is a tiny house on Sydney Avenue which is a museum.  On Sunday one of the ladies from the Art Gallery plays docent , opens the doors and greets the folks who are curious as to the contents of the little house.   Relics galore.   Here is the original stove, a beauty, if it could talk, the tales it could tell.

Skies of the Northwest

Lenticular clouds, how different they are, how strange and wondrous.  

It seems I just said it is the beginning of a brand new week, but this one brings about the end of August, the end of summer heat and time marches on to Fall, the change of colors in our trees, the awesome beauty we wait for every year.   Each area of our country has its own colors so it is time to think about hiking out and about and taking your camera for a walk.    You want to capture nature at its best.

It was a quiet day here at Ridgemont.    I spent some time looking through pages and pages of the Sunday ads, think it took about a half hour to peek at them all. Nope, didn't see a thing I couldn't live without.    I took a walk out to the corner and back.  I met a lady who walked along with me and we had a conversation about Ridgemont when she asked where I lived.  She is looking for a place but finds they are expensive, and they are.    Ridgemont is about the only one around this area that is still within talking distance but there is talk of a raise in the rents which is a little foreboding for those on a fixed income.  I would suggest you put a little priority in your thinking about a time when you will have to think about down sizing and moving into smaller quarters.    That time comes around the corner when you are not looking.   

So today I am on a mission.  I am going off with Patricia to look for some more glass bowls for the upcoming terrarium session.  It should be fun.   I think we are up to about six and have to get a lot closer to twenty.   It will be interesting to see what the folks do with their bowls and how different each one will be.   I know, I know you get tired of the same old conversation but at the moment that is what is on the mind.    It takes time and effort to hunt for some special do-dads to make special playtime for our 'tea' ladies.    Maybe you should be looking for a glass bowl and plan to make a special terrarium all your own.   It would make a nice gift.

So, find a little time to play.  All work and no play makes for a dull day...and a not too bright and beautiful you.    Be good, be kind, be gentle and know a good deed never hurt anyone.    Think about a donation to those in need, those who have lost all of their belongings in fire and floods.   Think about those without a pot or a pan or a glass to drink out of.   They will get back on their feet, just be sure you help a little to make the trip back a lot easier.    Be thankful you are in a position to be of help and not one on the receiving end.    Thinking makes you beautiful, so think a lot today.   Hugs to all.
