IN HONOR OF MAY DAY and SPRING....

THIS IS "PRALINE"...SHE GOT NAMED AFTER MY FAVORITE KIND OF ICE CREAM...SHE LOVES HER LITTLE BED IN THE GARAGE. "COUGAR" LOVES HIS TEDDY BEAR, HE HAS A GORILLA TOO. THESE ARE JUST PICTURES I TOOK ONE DAY...A DAY IN MAY.

THE NEW TORREY CHURCH HOUSE...ALMOST COMPLETED...I LIKE THE ''OLD ROCK'' ON THE FRONT, NICE TOUCH!

AS I SAT ALONG SIDE OF THE ROAD THE OTHER DAY, EATING MY TACO...ALONG CAME 25 OF THESE BABIES IN A CARAVAN...WOW!!!

"SOME FRIENDLY, CUTE GOATS"

TRULY, "THE HOUSE ON THE HILL" SO MANY PEOPLE COME THROUGH HERE TO VISIT AND THEY END UP BUYING PROPERTY HERE AND BUILDING A HOME HERE..SOME EVEN MOVE HERE PERMANENTLY. THIS MAN'S FRONT YARD IS FULL OF THESE SCULPTURES, HE MUST BE AN ARTIST.

I LOVE PASTURES..THERE WERE WILD TURKEYS HERE BUT THEY EVADED MY CAMERA!

I LOVE THE BLOSSOMS OF SPRING

I FOUND THESE BEAUTIFUL TULIPS THE OTHER DAY, QUITE BY CHANCE, I WAS SO THRILLED WITH THEIR BEAUTY..THE FIRST REAL SIGN OF SPRING FOR ME.

"THROUGH THE FENCE"

AS A CHILD, I ALWAYS LOVED CLOUDS...I'D LAY ON THE GRASS, GAZING UP AT THEM FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME..IMAGINING. THESE THREE PHOTO'S WERE TAKEN FROM MY COMPFY CHAIR THAT SITS IN OUR LIBRARY..THERE ARE THREE BIG WINDOWS THAT LOOK OUT TO THE SKY, MEADOWS AND MOUNTAINS. IT IS SO PEACEFUL TO SIT THERE AND WATCH THE CLOUDS, BIRDS SOARING ABOVE, THE MOON&STARS, THE SHEEP AND COWS, PEOPLE GOING BY, THE RAIN STORMS, THE SNOW STORMS THAT COME DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAINS AND TAKE OVER THE HOUSE.

HOPE YOU'LL GET OUT THERE AND ENJOY THIS BEAUTIFUL TIME OF THE YEAR...NEW LIFE, A NEW START FOR EACH OF US, A TIME FOR US TO BLOSSOM INTO THE PERSON WE WANT TO BE. JANUARY FIRST IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE TIME FOR MAKING CHANGES, BUT FOR ME IT'S ALWAYS THE BEGINNING OF SPRING. MAYBE WE SHOULD TURN BACK A BIT, AND LOOK AT WHO WE WERE AND HOW MICH WE ENJOYED BEING A KID...AND ENJOY IT ALL OVER AGAIN! HAVE FUN IN YOUR MEANDERINS IN THIS MONTH OF MAY.
