The Tipping Point

 

 

Will 2016 be a tipping point for America?

 

 

Happy New Year,

 

EVERYONE!

 

 

 

 

Like a Summer Day...

 

The day after Christmas at the beach...

 

 

So sunny, so hot,

summer in December.

 

The locals are ready for some cooler weather,

while the Northerners bask in the warmth

before heading back to the tundra.

The Essence...

 

Love, and Joy!

 

Like flowers bring!

(People can bring that too!)

It's The Winter Solstice

 

 

The longest night

moves into the day

that is the start of longer days

and shorter

nights.

 

Imperceptible,

yet,

very welcome.

 

 

 

 

Up On The Roof...

 

 

Looking due east,

the better to see you with,

my dear ocean.

Good Neighbors?

 

Awkward neighbors?

Indifferent neighbors?

 

Either way it is a good idea to get along with our

different neighbors.

After all,

Peace begins at home.

The Little Dog Laughed...

 

To see such craft...

 

 

And the dish ran away with the spoon!

Childhood rhyme, 

 

Hey Diddle Diddle.

The cat and the fiddle,

The cow jumped over the moon.

The little dog laughed to see such craft,

And the dish ran away with the spoon.

Take the Time...

 

 

 

Pelicans coasting up and down on the air currents,

as graceful as anything that flies.

 

Watching them reminds me to relax and lighten up.

They seem to know that life is meant to be enjoyed

and that there's time enough for the important things,

and that play is one of those important things.

Another day comes to an end,

or rather

daylight ends!

 

The night is young!

A Question...

 

If you put bottled beer in the freezer to get chilled

and forget about it until morning,

does it explode?

 

Answer:

Yes.

 

 

It's not as messy as you might imagine,

as it is frozen,

but it is messy!

 

 

 

 

 

A few years back, in the freezer of my sister on the occasion of her son and Daughter in Law's wedding celebration.

(Is it really 5 years already?)

(oh my)
