My Coffee Mate

"The language of friendship is not words but meanings."
  ~~Henry David Thoreau
Picture
My little friend and I share our beverage every morning.
The feeder is right outside my kitchen window,
and she is growing less and less fearful as she dodges and dances sipping the nectar mid-flight.
Next week I will get out the tripod and set up a big lens and try to capture her without glass separatiing us.

I know she will leave soon,
but I will be looking for her return in the spring...

Seed Cones

I couldn't imagine last winter that I would be posting anything that remotely resembled winter this summer. But the seed cones are growing on the white pine in the backyard, and the sap looks like drops of frozen dew in the morning.

Lori Bailey, one of our Facebook friends, shared a beautiful picture of a leaf dripping sap at every pointed edge, and it reminded me that I needed to grab this picture before the cones matured. I had noticed it several times while walking the yard with Buddy the Dog.

So, thank you, Lori, for sharing your picture.
Your share was much more beautiful,
but nature is pretty awesome!

If anyone is interested in using pinecones In craft projects,
here is a simple way to remove the sap and make your house smell like a million dollars!

Marley

"Everyone needs to have access both to grandparents and grandchildren in order to be a full human being."
  ~~Margaret Mead
When I stopped in this evening,
Marley was decorating her school supplies.
She was découpaging her new notebooks, and I loved the detail and time she put into each one of them.
It reminds me that school is just around the corner,
and of how excited I always was to get my "supplies" ready,
both as a student and as a teacher.
Love this girl...

"As hard as it is and as tired as I am,
I force myself to get dinner at least once a week with my girlfriends, or have a sleepover.
Otherwise my life is just work."
  ~~Jennifer Lawrence
Once a week?
How nice that would be!
But today, we made it together for the afternoon before school begins again...

Paradise Walk

"Owners of dogs will have noticed  that,
if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection,
they  will think you are God."
   ~~Christopher  Hitchens
"Buddy" is visiting. We get to keep "grand-dogs" when their families are traveling or busy.
"Buddy" takes us on a walk every morning.
This morning it seemed like Tom and "Buddy" were on the road to Paradise as we walked our favorite trail.
(Personally, I think this is better than a street of gold.)

Shannon and Mike have a beautiful garden around their house.
The lavender grows tall and healthy.
I took some time to sit on the wall next to it,
and watched the bees flying from blossom to blossom.
This is absolutely my favorite flower in all the world...

"Only in America do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight."
  ~~Unknown
A campfire.
Roasting hot dogs.
A chill in the air.
Bull frogs, whippoorwills,  and crickets begin tuning up for their nightly concert.
A perfect Friday night at the cabin.

"Then followed that beautiful season... Summer....
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light;
and the landscape lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood."
  ~~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I cannot even begin to describe how beautiful this day is.
Is there anything sweeter than the smell of fresh hay?

    I will try to "focus" on the best each day.
