Look up, not down, look Forward not back, always look up, never look down,

| These backyard pinecones are now in a million pieces on the pool deck, little mini bombs left their for my bare feet to find. Left by our squirrels who sit and eat it down to almost nothing and thorns. |

Well, tonight your blog posted at midnight! I have seen Lavender Dreams around blog land. I think I even commented to her once or twice, because I love lavender. Now I have to look down, down, down. Or I will fall. My balance is that bad. I cannot even look up when I am standing still, I will tilt too far and tip over.
Your Lavender Dreams link takes me to your watch post.
Beautiful! I absolutely love pinecones. I tried the link. It takes me to your blog post. I know Lavender Dreams. It is a lovely blog but
I haven’t visited in a while. Thank you for reminding me that I have to do that and catch up.
I am familiar with Lavender Dreams blog, too. I agree with your sermonette.
Thank you for your wisdom about homelessness. I lived in a government subsidized apartment during a year when I couldn't work because I was taking care of my terminally ill child. I had heard people say that all people in the 'project' were bad. I found my neighbors to be very kind and understanding. Many had lost jobs or had serious health problems.
Funny you talk about homeless...the news the past two nights has had about a guy from the DNR has been collecting good, weatherproof sleeping bags and other items for the homeless. He is out and about and by the river, and runs into where some of them sleep. So he was doing something about it.
I would have guessed you and Lavender would have already been friends. You are right Sandra - there is no better way to look than up. And you are right about homesless people - can you believe I had a dream last night aobut being homeless. Weird.
What a beautiful post....very wise words MS!

We love this quote and for sure we love your Sermonette

Lucky squirrels! And good reminder for all of us who are lucky to have a home and roof over our heads...
I have followed Lavender Dreams for some time now. I love her pictures of birds and nature and keep wondering what kind of camera she uses. The same as I do for you. But I know more about your cameras and will discuss with you when/if I decide I have to buy one. It's the learning it that worries me. Love your cones. I saw beautiful light on the mountain this morning and thought about you.
PS Woke up at 4:15!
A good reminder...
Diane is an exceptional blogger with great humor!...but, I keep telling Bud to look down!! He trips easily.
I yry to always look forward except when I'm backing out ofthe driveway or parking space. Love the pictures of the pinecones
Ouch! Those bits and pieces of cones would be painful. I need to check out Lavender Dreams,sounds interesting.
true... sometimes they are just down on their luck. Just need a helping hand
It could be any of us out there. Good message that we all need to hear every now and then.
I love to look up because I'm a sky watcher. I love seeing the clouds. But, I also need to look down so I don't trip on something. lol! I'm a bit of a klutz. I remember Lavender Dreams, but had lost touch.
I’m so happy you met Lavender Dreams! I’ve been a fan of her for years now! Y’all are reall birds of a feather so it’s only right that y’all flock together!
You are right about the homeless. I think there’s been a breakdown in family relationships and the homeless have no place to go. My sister in law lived with us for a time years and years ago. Some people are just a paycheck away from being homeless. Have you seen the movie Same Kind of Different as Me? I read the book and I’ve been to hear the author speak. Everyone has a story.....everyone.
One reason I don't care for squirrels....they cause damage all over. Great cone pic. I love shooting things like that. I am more a natural element shooter.
So glad you have a new friend. I absolutely love your pinecone photos.
