when the doctor said

"keep the leg immobilized"
do you suppose this is what he meant?

Saturday, February 27, 2010

alas, said the gargoyle,

i'm spending next winter where it's warm...like cedar key, maybe.

Friday, February 26, 2010

i'll be waiting a long time

while my knee mends until I can take this walk again

i can't sit up for many minutes at a time
but i'll try to post from my archives and leave comments whenever i'm able.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HEALING WISHES!

emma, the dog,

is a little deaf,
but she still knows the sound of a saucy dinner plate being placed on the floor.

mother nature's shelves

hold trinkets of snow.
what do you keep on your shelves?

skywatch friday: after the snow

winter has a hearty appetite.
it nips at houses and nibbles on trees.
and all the while the sky sighs like a proud parent.

this is the approach to our town hospital

i wonder how many people notice how beautiful it is

Wednesday, February 17, 2010

the woods are silent, dark, and deep

i thought, my friends, you'd like a peep.

how would you like

a sleigh ride on valentine's day?

happy valentine's day, dear hearts

i fear ellie, the little girl next door, may have lost her heart.
this plumed and glittery valentine lay languishing in a snow bank between our two houses.
may this day bring a smile to your hearts.
and to ellie's, too.

the orange shovel

leans against the wall, waiting for the snow to stop

fresh snow fell

and trees sighed
in the pearl-soft light.

the beelzebubs

who came in second on the a cappella t.v. show "Sing Off"

performed at our local museum sunday morning.
they were great...

though these images are not...
i was pretty far away and they never stopped moving.

which is more real? the objects held within a mirror?
or the objects held without?

frolicking florida-style

i hope you'll indulge me in another day or so of florida photos.
i offer this with a tip of the margarita to dave of costa rica,
the big kahuna of surfer-dude photos.
this, in case you were wondering, is not brattcat on a surfboard.

Mr. Brattcat likes doodling with his pocket knife.
