Pink Saturday - June 29th

Rains a lot in the mid-west then turns sunny for awhile and then decides to pour some more.  Somehow during these blasts of rain and hot sun this clematis managed to bloom.     Look at this miracle of miracles.  Do you believe it... and of all colors the bloom is PINK.    I am happy!

My favorite holiday is 4th of July.  Folks gather around to share food, conversation and then fireworks.    I like this holiday best because there are no presents and everyone still has a blast.

Happy Fourth of July from our house to your house.

Quote 632 Thich Nhat Hanh

"People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child - our own two eyes. All is a miracle."
...Thich Nhat Hanh

Quote 631 Harold Ward Beecher

“A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It's jolted by every pebble on the road.”

Hwy #27

My husband and I got into the car and drove until we saw a potential skywatch shot.   I know this is against the rules but I had to catch it.   He stopped the car.  I turned on the camera and kneeled in the middle of the road then took this shot.   I heard cars coming fast took another image just in case the other one didn't come out.   I ran to the car and thought safe at last and whoop pi! 

Quote 630 Franz Kafka

"Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly."
