hovering above

escaping the dried brownness

a bright shooting star 🦊❤️

Even in the bleakest of places, shooting stars are present to dazzle us. 🦊❤️

2080. purring

 

allowing ourselves

to get close… to just be held…

worth purring about  🦊❤️

Some pictures say it all… 🦊❤️

2079. to love one’s work

 

my cousin johnny

soon he’ll have 25 years

the mayor of walmart 🦊❤️

This weekend we returned to my hometown of Monongahela to celebrate my Mon Valley Catholic class’s joint 75th birthday celebration. We also spent lots of time visiting with many of my cousins.  A really special event was visiting with my cousin Johnny while he was working his shift at Walmart. He absolutely loves his job and was proud to let us know that he will soon celebrate his 25 year anniversary working there. It was totally refreshing listening to him talk so enthusiastically about his work.  Congratulations Johnny!! 🦊❤️

2078. hitchin’ a ride

 

tired of hoppin’ ‘round

hitchen’ a ride on a tire

round and round he goes 🦊❤️

I had to chuckle at the sight of a grasshopper hitching a ride on the tire of a car. Round and round he goes. 🦊❤️

2077. birthday party

 

candles once all lit

one by one they lose their flame

in life’s wind tunnel 🦊❤️

Yesterday we attended a surprise birthday party of a woman from our apartment complex. There is nothing like a bunch of “oldsters” celebrating birthdays. A great time reminiscing about the good old days but at the same time being grateful for the good day we are still enjoying. 🦊❤️ 

2076. look and look again

 

like a big green leaf

had to look thrice to be sure

“look… a katydid!!!” 🦊❤️

No matter how many times I spot a Katydid, I always have to look at least two times to be sure! 🦊❤️
