2063. holy matrimony

 

at our ripe old age

 making our way to ask god

to bestow his blessings 🦊❤️

After many months of anticipation, planning, delays, roadblocks and disappointments Yulan and I finally were able to have our marriage blessed in my Catholic parish, St. Genevieves. We are so grateful to our dear friends Rick and Gloria for being witnesses of our happy celebration.  🦊❤️

2062. baby and the bath water

 

they kept the baby

and they kept the bath water

but threw out the tub! 🦊❤️

I had to laugh when I saw a baby’s bathtub at the curbside  for the trash man. Did you ever hear the saying, “Don’t throw out the baby with the bath water?” Now you have!!!! Lol🦊❤️

2061. play ball!!

on the mound waiting

the pitcher hoping to throw

a goose egg game ! 🦊❤️

 I got a kick out of seeing a team of Canadian Geese fly in to a freshly manicured ball field to play the local team of ducks.  The pitcher was anxious to throw his first no hit game! That is a “goose egg game” in Goose lingo! Lol🦊❤️

2060. the last

 

what a lonely place

to be the last to be called

to float all alone 🦊❤️

I looked at the last Cheerio floating in the sea of low fat milk. If it had feelings, “what would it be feeling?” I thought. Like the last kid called in a pick up baseball game maybe. Or maybe totally at peace in the quiet of a beautiful pool on a summer day. I wonder… 🦊❤️

2059. “smoke gets in your eyes”

 

amid the many wires

the smoke of such far off fires

sets the sun ablaze 🦊❤️

The smoke from the Canadian wildfires makes for such interesting skies… brings tears to one’s eyes. 🦊❤️

2058. mr. bill

 

looking up at me

his smile turned to an “oh no!”

“oh it’s mr. bill” 🦊❤️

Who out there remembers Mr. Bill from Saturday Night Live? 🦊❤️

2057. future fossil

 

in a flow of tar

a penny frozen in time

like ice age fossils 🦊❤️

When I spotted a penny captured in a flow of tar on a parking lot, my first impulse was to pry it loose. Then I thought about the Le Breau Tar Pits near Los Angeles. There, entrapped in the tar are fossils of the Ice Age like Saber Toothed Tigers and Wholly Mammoths.  Since pennies are no longer being minted, I decided to let it be in its grave of tar for future generations to find. 🦊❤️
