I'm a Bumblebee




 Halloween Dog Walk I attendeed in town with my
Younger son - his Shepherd -as a Pumpkin
my dog to the left (she's a Bumble Bee)
 Sniffing (we like that) under the Banyan

 (With his little Terrier center)
There were lots of cute dogs
like this
Rasta Dog
Bulldog in a Tutu 
I celebrated my dad's 95th birthday last week with my two boys  men, as well as our 20th wedding anniversary this past weekend too.
Hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend~

Red & Water

Backyard Reflections-
Red Alamanda bud
 Husband interrupts.. 
Oh what happened?
I'm sorry, come here
Wait..
About 80% of our blood is water
I think he heals quicker than I..being a mechanic, he credits it all to the gas and chemicals he dips his hands in, hmm?
Somebody (won't say who) has her Jaguar at my husband's repair shop next door. Well, apparently it's going to be a big job.
(always remember to check the oil in your transmission ladies)
 Can you see my puddy's reflection below?
For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.
But now faith, hope, love, abide these three;
but the greatest of these is love

Horsing Around Pt. 2


Header photo of wild horses were taken on a previous trip a number of years ago (same road) towards evening when the deep cold mist settled in on the way back..don't they look like they could be related?


Joni Mitchell had it right..
"We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game"
Don't go!

"And the LORD opened the servant’s eyes and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha"

~wishing you all a peaceful weekend~

Waimea Side, Switching Lanes


 Last weekend we started out on a drive along the County access road near Mauna Kea through old Parker Ranch land. But things are not the same..there are fences everywhere with mostly Kapu (keep out) signs as well as military.
The cattle kept the land beautiful once and always used to pop out somewhere to greet you on the long 4 hour drive through to Waimea. Gorse has taken over and there were so many weeds..

I call this a proud and unusual fellow! 
He was huge and must of felt like a tall Pine with his chest sticking out! Well we knew better, so we decided to turn around and head toward the Waimea side.

 We were happy we did
Below- a couple of drive by shots

You can see it was a bit dry..

Remember the Mr. Ed show?
"A horse is a horse of course of course..
And no one can talk to a horse of course

That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mister Ed.

People yakkity-yak the street and waste your time of day
But Mr. Ed will never speak unless he has something to say"
(Jay Livingston and Ray Evans)
But it was just like the wind to shift..
 Clouds and mist began to roll in-
You could even say the grass was greener on the other side
Ja 1:17
Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow
***
More green grass and horsing around next...

Men Do This Sort of Thing..

That's our little AC unit my husband picked out..I mean it's a GIANT TUBE that fits nicely on the bottom of our bay window. I sat in the car with our dog while he chose
this particular item. Do you think it's a little too big?(lol)
She stays cool and can still fit below the window when it isn't on.
It has wheels yet it's still heavy, but does look decent enough I suppose.
A Vietnamese woman I knew, once remarked about her husband's large stack of wood planks he drug home.
"why he like bring de uglee ting into de yard?!!"
Classic-
Wonder what the men out there have to say?
Let's be perfectly clear- the war on free speech is spiritual!
