More about that later but I wanted to share a few pictures of Bingham Lake at the Pinery in Parker Colorado.
I like one sign that covers the bases...
No swimming... stay off the ice!
It was late afternoon and a strong rainstorm washed the air clean, then a breeze rustled the leaves and sun glinted off the water in a big reminder of this world's beauty.
Sun sparkling through the cattails, diamonds on the water. I would challenge the writers among us to write a story using this image as a prompt.
I saw birds I've never seen before, like medium sized loud birds wearing tuxedos.
I loved the sky after the rain, in late afternoon. The mountains showed up and surprised us! They had been lost in the haze people said came from smoke in the NW. Look at this sky!
Like a wee miracle! We stood silently, reached for each other's hands, and enjoyed the quiet. I made a little 2 min video like the ones the Sunday Morning show used to do of nature... enjoy it here
I like my estate agent here... she says what all the people have been saying to me... I want this to be a good experience for you. Then reminds me to relax. The vet tech said the same thing, the hotel clerks also said that. The universe is trying to send a message.
At breakfast in Kansas one day, a couple shared our table and we had a great conversation. They were there because a deer ran into their car so the deer was killed and so was their car. They were on I-70 doing 75 mph and lived to tell the story. The wife told me to remember life will unfold as it should so let go.
I love books...
I am still reading this book. I am taking time to really think about each chapter as I read...
I live with so many fears. I loved what she wrote about fears, patience, acceptance.
Fears... we all have them. Fear is the base of anger. Fears underlie anger in every circumstance.
We all deal with things, overcome (or not) obstacles, and can learn from each other. I am learning from this book.
I was asked this question by a writer:
What books would go on your bookshelf of life?
Which 10 books would you want always to keep? Have changed you? Made such an impact you might return to them.
I think the Four Agreements would go on mine. Anything by Dr. Brian Weiss.
Rosamund Pilcher and Diana Gabaldon, Sara Dunnant and Rhys Bowen would have to be represented. I don't have a definitive list but it's a great question isn't it?
I like being read to...
I take a lot of books on disc, and on the ipad along in the car.
I'm starting to enjoy reading on the kindle app.
I love words.
I hope in the new state, in the new home, to have an area in which to thrive as a writer. I want that energy so that I can continue to learn about using words.
The more empty bookshelves in the office will accept these I found around the first floor, still wanting to be read. We'll take many books with us despite their weight.
Books have so much value to us. We use the library but there are some books one wants to keep.
I like: finding a perfect color for border of painted quilt
Play Create Imagine |
Milo here with my list,
I like traveling in my car nest, with my people. I've had many adventures and will share them later but for now, believe it or not, I Like Cats!
Editors note:
Milo needed his sutures removed so we visited a vet who has two office cats.
Parker Center animal clinic |
Milo has never met a cat. I waited for the explosion and nothing. He sniffed it's back end... the cat strutted by ignoring him totally, so Milo followed him. Round and round the clinic. I got some tranquilizers for the crazy boy moments to keep him quieter.
Lead and the world will follow you.
For once no barks!
He has stopped growing since the surgery. He had been growing 3 lbs a week and getting taller. The vet said he may be on a plateau, and if he doesn't grow as tall as he might have, it's better on his joints anyway. (wah)
Please enjoy this group of people who are also keeping count of the things they liked this week
