Hypermagical Words and Critters

Greetings on this incredibly warm day 
that pretty much every Minnesotan has been dreaming of.
Of course all this bliss is nearly to an end
since there's a winter storm warning is in effect. 
It's supposedly arriving tonight.
Oh joy!

 Early mornings are a blessing, after coffee of course.

As if by magical light
they dance in delight.
Until they're covered in snow.

Snowball fight anyone?

SATURDAY'S CRITTERS

Mr. Tin Man
Enjoying a day without rain.
(pulled him out of last year's vacation.)

and for all the Lovers of

Words and pictures
here are a few random photos to enjoy.

Snowman photobomb.

"There are things 
We live among 'and to see them
Is to know ourselves.'"
George Oppen

"I have always imagined that Paradise 
will be some kind of library."

Jorge Luis Borges

I see you too!


Yep, I had to add this oldie but goodie
especially on this second day of 
Our Government Shutdown

I sure miss these Obama years.



At least we still have geese and ducks and other critters.

There are words that mean nothing

But there is something to mean

in everything we see.

Not a declaration, which is truth

But a thing,

Which is. It is the business of the poet

and photographer

"To suffer the things of the world"

and capture the fascinating attention 

of simple splendor

And to speak them and himself out.

George Oppen and Me

It's all about
How we look at things.
Our mind shifts between
the sense of things
or the nonsense of them.

It's highly likely these pups wish you hadn't seen them
 until they fixed their hats!

Hello family of smiley faces!

Stand tall, stand strong for what you believe in.

"Don't talk unless you can improve the silence."
Jorge Luis Borges

Ah, the smell of
Cinnamon 
is everywhere
this morning.

"Anyone who gives you a cinnamon roll
 fresh out of the oven is a friend for life."
Lemony Snicket

Who looks outside,
dreams;
who looks inside,
awakes.
Carl Jung

Enjoy your evening
 and take good care of you!
