Orange Inspiration

Check out a somewhat recent post from How About Orange (that woman is incredibly creative...). Check out #5 and watch the Adidas commercial. It's amazing and will totally inspire you to watch the summer Olympics! Inspired me too!

Meercatcam - what will they think of next?

Okay, this is hysterical. Check out an actual Meercatcam...and don't forget to check the Giraffe Cam too. Scott sent me these. The funniest thing is how you know it will update every minute, so you can't help but keep clicking refresh (as if a minute lasts a mere three seconds...) until wah-lah, a real live minute goes by and you refresh and there is meercat...instead of looking straight ahead, he is now looking to the right. This is boredom at its finest. That said, you know you want to check it so...off you go!

Wrong, Just Wrong

...but printed here for your enjoyment. Except for the first picture, today's selection is from Hilarious Funny Pics, which has several outrageous photos so don't head over there with a weak constitution.

Marriage & Trust

I have been writing some thoughts and questions about marriage. The end of this thought cycle landed on the need for absolute trust. And then my friend Molly sent me this poem. Serendipitous.

Trust
by Thomas R. Smith, from Waking before Dawn

It's like so many other things in life
to which you must say no or yes.
So you take your car to the new mechanic.
Sometimes the best thing to do is trust.

The package left with the disreputable-looking
clerk, the check gulped by the night deposit,
the envelope passed by dozens of strangers—
all show up at their intended destinations.

The theft that could have happened doesn't.
Wind finally gets where it was going
through the snowy trees, and the river, even
when frozen, arrives at the right place.

And sometimes you sense how faithfully your life
is delivered, even though you can't read the address.

Quilt full of love

There's a beautiful post on Scribbit today, called Memorial Day Quilt. Check it out.

My Skinny Garden: May Bloom Day 2008

Beautiful flower pictures! Especially the Lily of the Valley - wow.

Clouds

Now these are all strangely colored, too dark and grainy, due to the ole cell phone camera, but I still think the fantastical formations the clouds have been making lately are interesting. Do you like any of them?








Many of the neighborhood flowers have fallen off the trees already! I gotta get my real camera out this weekend and take the Spring pictures I have been meaning to share with you. This weekend! Happy Memorial Day Weekend, by the way!
