(Will you suffer for me with an I.O.U.?)

BAD GIRL
Humans can't teach cats anything.
Cats teach humans everything they want their human to know.

Most of this state is beautiful, once you get out of the population areas where the real people live. : )

A Wonderful Lord’s day to you too, KM.

What a great picture of a bluebird.

Wouldn’t my kitties love for me to keep a drawer open..LOL..I closed one into a large drawer years ago..took me forever to find out where the mewing was comng from..Learned my lesson!
I thought I had finally taught my adult not to bolt out the door..by giving her elaborate praise and pets when I come back in the sliding door...I tempted her too far by leaving a gap in the door while I shook a rug..The turkey was on the patio and out she went this week..
She and the turkey had no interaction at all like they do through the glass door..Silky will let me pick her up and bring her in after a bit of patio exploring, luckily.
She taught me another lesson..

I have that Jukebox in my files....and I forget it because when I start playing it, I can’t stop. I love the old songs even though some of them make me blue! So many memories!

I played yours a few minute though and about couldn’t let it go!

Thank you, Mr. Mayor, for a lovely Daily Bread today! I always take something from them! Have a very nice Sunday.

The Way Through the Woods

They shut the road through the woods Seventy years ago. Weather and rain have undone it again, And now you would never know There was once a road through the woods Before they planted the trees. It is underneath the coppice and heath, And the thin anemones. Only the keeper sees That, where the ring-dove broods, And the badgers roll at ease, There was once a road through the woods. Yet, if you enter the woods Of a summer evening late, When the night-air cools on the trout-ringed pools Where the otter whistles his mate. (They fear not men in the woods, Because they see so few) You will hear the beat of a horse's feet, And the swish of a skirt in the dew, Steadily cantering through The misty solitudes, As though they perfectly knew The old lost road through the woods. . . . But there is no road through the woods. Rudyard Kipling

Lovely picture, Kitty! What beauty is given to us each day. And I am so grateful for it.

[MEG33]

I think that is true of many states..Freeways and driving through cities on them give you so little of what the state has to offer .
Some of my pictures are from old estates that have been turned into public parks.

[jaycee]

I love cranberries, cashews, Jukeboxes, and I love my camera...LOL! My camera has taken some bad pictures for me lately though. And man, is it a battery eater! Maybe when the batteries get low, it doesn’t work as well. I know very little about cameras.

Your Celebrations are terrific today!
