Another Day at Home BeauSpeak on Thankful Thursday

 

Here I lie, waiting to be fed,.

while Mama runs about the house taking pictures of breakfast food and a glass jar for me to tell you what we are thankful for.

Today I am thankful that Mama eats french bread for breakfast, and shares with me and Mama is thankful the hot sun outside, sends sunbeams sneaking in the crack of the blinds on the window and pointing out the beauty of the glass candle jar.

Mama is thankful for Fennel Tea and French bread with no preservatives. 

 She eats a slice of bread before coffee and if needed sips Fennel tea, both of which calm the empty tummy so she can have coffee, which is a no for IBS.

Sunshine at Sunrise

 

Monday, due to rain, we walked at 7:30 AM not daybreak at 7.  As Beau and I wandered, the sun topped the tallest trees, painting each limb with sunshine. I missed the first few minutes because I do not use my phone while walking. The beauty was calling to me.

The freshly washed grass and trees were slowly painted with beauty, our ears listened to the music of birds gone crazy from the rain.

 It was so beautiful I stopped and asked Beau to Stay and he did, and stayed twice more, once for each of these trees. 

 Beau was poking his nose here and there and suddenly he flushed a covey of Doves, about 12, I think! I felt a total rush of feelings. the sound of the wings, the site of them lifting suddenly, the sun glinting on their wings, my soul soared with the beauty.  

In the midst of our lives, we must find the magic that makes our souls soar.

Sunshine Makes Me Happy

 

 Fall and Winter Sun shines in the kitchen early AM making November/December/January my favorite months of the year..and so cozy for sitting inside the door or out in the sun.

On really cool days, I push the blinds open and Jake and I share the sun puddles.

and while Bob works on the pool you KNOW what I am doing....

White Bird of Paradise

Monkey Shines - Follow the sun

There he lay, abandoned and gutless... Jake did surgery to remove the squeaker

I went into a SnapHappy Moment 

and the next thing I new I was singing YMCA at the top of my lungs. Wonder Why

In waiting mode  for the MRI on my back my mojo has returned.  While doing my exercises  I had a good talk with ME. 

 I am choosing to be thankful it is leg pain and not something worse. 
Some of you are dealing with losing your sight, losing love ones and/or pets, cancer or other  health issues and the world in general has gone quite mad. This change in thought made me think of not one but 3 posts in my brain...Welcome back to my dear MOJO...

6 am UPDATE Sat am...I slept for 7 hours 40 minutes without waking up. I shopped yesterday, the ALEVE IS WORKING

Follow the sun..Green leaves

Never say there is nothing beautiful in the world anymore. 

There is always something to make you wonder, in the shape of a tree, the trembling of a leaf.
Albert Schweitzer

I live in the Sunshine State and the sun never ceases to amaze me as it points out the common in my life and turns it to beauty.

Sun Paintings 4

Each morning, Jake anxiously awaits the darkness to depart for the first ball game of the day... These photos were taken at 7 AM just as the sun got high enough to beam a flashlight through tree branches and paint the staghorn.

Turn your face to the sun and the shadows will fall behind you..author unknown

I love the sun, it makes me feel happy and When the sun is shining I can do anything... CLICK HERE FOR SUN QUOTES

This small air plant about the size of a tennis ball, hangs on the cable wire that brings us the internet to post this for you....  It is small and gray and has no color at all until the Sun Paints It.

Follow the Sunbeams

Canon Rebel T1i that needs repairs

Sunbeams shine through our mini blinds. They give me joy each day, waiting to see what they highlight. They choose something different each day.

A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows..

Random Shots - Egrets N Bones

Shadows from the dog treat container on my kitchen cabinet. While playing with the shadows I saw something white fly by the living room window..

A very tall, very hungry Egret landed in the ground cover and helped himself to a few lizards.. Above through the screen, below pressed against the screen.

Sunday Sun Painting - God's PicMonkey 1

Sunday AM Feb 1..
Look! I said to Bob... and ran for my camera. Above is what I showed him. A dead yellow Scheffleria leaf had fallen in the Fishtail Palms and the sun was shining through it.

A few steps closer.... 

 and change the angle of the camera to block the sun dogs, almost, but not quite..

Ahhhh... there it is, God using his sun like I use PicMonkey, to make something ugly beautiful ... Sun paintings By God.. captured by ME...

Fishtail Palm - Back yard

Each day, we are in our back yard 5 to 7 times a day, each day I search for the sun paintings on the plants, none are ever the same... I have been posting pics of this palm since the first month in 09 when I started my blog. August 09 was first post. and my favorite post on the Fishtail is HERE July 2014

Pine Tree Sun Paintings

Gods Flashlight is the Sun

DETAILS MATTER:
 1/4 cup of self rising white flour has 400 g of Sodium or that 1 frozen biscuit out of a bag from the store has 440 G of Sodium

On the lighter side:

2 Peanuts were walking in a tough neighborhood and one of them was a-salted...

If we cantaloupe lettuce us marry.

Sun Paintings by God

Odd things call to me to grab my camera when the good Lords sunshine paints something ordinary and makes it beautiful.

. While walking laps around the pool deck, I spied the sun beams lighting up the leaves in the rake tines.

Please ignore the fact I left the leaves in the rake the day before when leaning it on the house...also ignore the fact it is leaning on the house instead of put away.

 If I had not leaned it there you would not be admiring Rake and Leaves ART..

What's that you say? You are not admiring it? if so, look again. Can you see the beauty?

Even the dog bone jar is prettier when bathed in sunlight. PLUS a few words of wisdom

Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now. .

Hard work never killed anyone, but why chance it?

Borrow money from pessimists- they don't expect it back

Seen it all. Done it all. Can't remember most of it. and one request Lord, if I can't be skinny, please let all my friends be fat.
