I watched a squirrel sitting with his back to the wind,
using his tail as an umbrella,
as he worked open a walnut,
and then another.

If I watched you once
behind, would you feel it?
I feel like you might.

Squirrels are mystical creatures.

Never Love a Wild Thing
Never love a wild thing, Mr. Bell,” Holly advised him. “That was Doc’s mistake. He was always lugging home wild things. A hawk with a hurt wing. One time it was a full-grown bobcat with a broken leg. But you can’t give your heart to a wild thing: the more you do, the stronger they get. Until they’re strong enough to run into the woods. Or fly into a tree. Then a taller tree. Then the sky. That’s how you’ll end up, Mr. Bell. If you let yourself love a wild thing. You’ll end up looking at the sky."

— Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Sometimes it takes teamwork to take down a squirrel:

When my daughter was little, her favorite animal at the Philadelphia Zoo was the big Jersey cow in the Children's Zoo area.

I love the sounds and scents of a dairy barn.

I wanted to post an image of an Ethiopian Opal.

Cranberry flavored coffee sounds very good.

Once upon a time, (1966) there was an artist named Lester O. Schwartz,
who lived about ten miles from where I lived as a child.

He had an art gallery and store called the 'Cow Palace.'

He had fun things set up in his store for children to play with, while the adults shopped
for cow art.

His large metal sculptures still can be found in the area.
He also had a philanthropic bent.
He built the apts. for seniors and the disabled,
where I now live.

Good memories.

My best friend and lover had this song in his head for two days.
I have never heard it before,
but I promised to post the words.

Billy Joel say:

A bottle of white, a bottle of red
Perhaps a bottle of rosé instead
We'll get a table near the street
In our old familiar place
You and I - face to face hm, hm
A bottle of red, a bottle of white
It all depends upon your appetite
I'll meet you any time you want
In our Italian Restaurant.
Things are okay with me these days
I got a good job, I got a good office
I got a new wife, got a new life
And the family is fine
Oh we lost touch long ago
You lost weight - I did not know
you could ever look so nice after so much time.
Do you remember those days hanging out at the village green?
Engineer boots, leather jackets and tight blue jeans
Oh you drop a dime in the box play a song about New Orleans
Cold beer, hot lights, my sweet romantic teenage nights ooh, ooh
Oh, oh, oh, oh…..
Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadies
And the king and the queen of the prom
Riding around with the car top down and the radio on
Nobody looked any finer
Or was more of a hit at the Parkway Diner
We never knew we could want more than that out of life
Surely Brenda and Eddie would always know how to survive.
Oh, oh, oh, oh…..
Brenda and Eddie were still going steady in the summer of '75
When they decided the marriage would be at the end of July
Everyone said they were crazy
"Brenda you know that you're much too lazy
and Eddie could never afford to live that kind of life."
Oh, but there we were wavin' Brenda and Eddie goodbye.
Oh, oh, oh
Well they got an apartment with deep pile carpets
And a couple of paintings from Sears
A big waterbed that they bought with the bread
They had saved for a couple of years
but they started to fight when the money got tight
And they just didn't count on the tears.
Oh, oh yeah rock 'n roll
Oh, oh, oh
Well, they lived for a while in a very nice style
But it's always the same in the end
They got a divorce as a matter of course
And they parted the closest of friends
Then the king and the queen went back to the green
But you could never go back there again
Oh, oh
Brenda and Eddie had had it already by the summer of '75
From the high to the low to the end of the show
For the rest of their lives
They couldn't go back to the greasers
The best they could do was pick up their pieces
We always knew they would both find a way to get by
Oh and that's all I heard about Brenda and Eddie
Can't tell you more 'cause I've told you already
And here we are wavin' Brenda and Eddie goodbye
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah
A bottle of reds, a bottle of whites
Whatever kind of mood you're in tonight
I'll meet you anytime you want
In our Italian Restaurant.

What a coincidence. Some folks in work, me too, are going to a local Italian buffet for lunch, our first time there. I think I'll end up sipping chianti with it and I'll think of you guys.

400000000000000000000000!

I'm back...no chianti, I decide to have a Peroni Nastro Azzurro, a very nice Italian beer showing the more subtle Italian approach to hopiness. Good food, too. Will do again.

They're much fluffier just after getting their hair dried after a bath - hair everywhere!

fluff fluffy fluffiest flufferoni.

Mid-day feast:

Lightly smoked tinned octopus,
A half dozen raw oysters,

Some super duper heavy dense Black-Forest bread,
slathered with unsalted butter from a local dairy,

and a cupful of fresh goatsmilk.

(one out of four is the truth,
the rest I am craving.
Yay for the octopus!)

Stranded in limbo
Awaiting. What might be seen
After the rebirth.

argh!!! so close.
