Written on JUNE 30th
I know we all have those times, where life seems to be throwing down a challenge every day and sometimes more than once a day...I get un-enchanted with life sometimes..
Growing up was a struggle for me because I didn't want to grow up! I created this life within a life where everything was wonderful I made my connection with Nature and Animals
And it has served me well my whole life. Sometimes I get annoyed with younger people who seem to think we older folks should be at home in our rocking chairs...Oh please get real we are gonna be out here as long as we still can put foot to ground.
So out in Nature real life is just white noise that you turn off...Im in my ruby slippers. Tap Tap Tap and then Im in this forest...looks enchanted to me!
So you work on a solution to one problem and you no more than take a breath ...here comes the second challenge of the day...or it could be the 4th or the 5t
Not a pretty picture....we have so much work to do to get beyond THIS^
OH but wait, I'm in my Happy Place and there lives this tiny little bird barely bigger than a Green Bean, his feathers are like jewels and he flies at the speed of light, and if you're really still he will look at you, and for that little moment you are in awe...of what is before you...
This little open spot made me think of a one of those vortexes that you jump through and ...BAM you 're suddenly transported someplace out of this world.
PLAY
I'd wish for one where we live in harmony with our environment and where you may sail away on a really big lily pad...Wish I had thrown something down for scale, this pad is at least 13 inches in diameter.

On this boat I could shrug off anything that makes my hands tingle and kills my butterflies. The butterflies become dragons that can attack....they suck blazing meteors right out of the atmosphere, and that's where fire breathing dragons come from...and if you catch one you can hold it by the tail and use it like a ray gun! I just made that up of course but wouldn't that be really something to see?
No one is a rock...cause look what happens to rock over time....it turns to sand.
in my happy place sand has birds the color of the rainbow sitting on it so nothing to fear here...the Painted Bunting makes me think of Sherbet and then when I read the label, HF corn syrup..yuk.
Maybe you can stand on someone else's rock, it keeps you afloat when the seas are rough and you just need to catch your wind before you sail off into never never, that special place...the double crested cormorant is taking a rest while he figures out his next move.

stand very still and the white noise won't find you, be berry berry quiet...don't draw any attention sssssshhhhh...Great Egrets are master of their universe.
if only my Mantra would stick...until I can figure out how to cope with real life with the white noise...I'll just keep as close to nature as I can, my happy place...
The golden years are merely a homophone for olden years...yep Im old! And yet in my own little world I'm still 12 or 13 chasing butterflies through the fields and then right there on the ground in front of me is youth, a young bird of bright orange red sitting directly behind a tiny pine tree... promising a future of hope and full of starry eyed wonder...
Summer Tanager
Birds are flying machines..."jump on he says I can show you a view like you've never even dreamed of...just ignore the white noise, it's not here in dreamland"..
Hop on this Eastern Kingbird
Fairies and toads live under the moss...I've imagined, they can hold their breath for days, hours, minutes...maybe a lifetime!
What's under this mossy water??? Maybe its the entrance to a magic place..
Fairies may hitch a ride on the back of biwinged dragons....and be taken to the Garden of Corn Blue Flowers,
ripe with pixie dust
sprinkle that dust as the Navajo sprinkle the corn pollen and it changes stix into snakes the color of fresh summer punch...lemon and lime sherbet...Sugar Free
I think there is a lot of magic here...under each lily pad a small universe is created. Those little bugs that go round and round and snails and water spiders all on one lily pad, and here there's thousands of lily pads.
birds with spiky hair the colors of the rain forest rise up out of the waters...like a Phoenix Rising, he stands...with sort of a goofy look..teehee.
Unmoved and no tail must be a new visitor to our Planet
Green Heron
Ripe Fruit is so inviting...
A Pixie can sleep in the petals of a swamp flower
safe from all the White Noise...
safe from all the White Noise...
It's never too late or you're never too old to imagine the world the way you would like it to be, mine may sound a little far out there but in the words of John Lennon Imagine all the people living for today...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Hopefully you know a place where you can go to be away from people and still be able to enjoy a day out of the house and out in Nature.
You got this one life,,,

Trump and his gang of cut throats continue to put emphasis on making him look good to his supporters and his chance to win the election and not on people's lives. What a fool he is and all who follow him are even more so for the writing is on the wall! He will sacrifice YOUR kids for his cause. What is his cause you ask? MONEY that is all he cares for. Yes we need a strong economy but how can we work if we have sick kids at home or parents dying in hospitals? We should do the one thing we know that works,,,,stay as far away from each other as possible, when you can't wear your protection and clean your hands immediately upon leaving a store.
People who have had the virus can and are getting it a second time. We were led to believe that the heat of Summer would halt the virus that not only did not happen it has stepped up! I would advise people to NOT be mask less in any public situation. It is actually the only deterrent we have at this point. In our state a month ago we had like 4 deaths per day now it's double digits per day...

WE all have to do our part to get things under control if we leave it up to someone else how does that make a difference?
