Close-Up

Dream

The saga continues, yesterday we had some snow dusting  overnight, when we got up  in the morning most everything was covered with a thin layer of snow! That’s kind of unusual especially this time of the year in Georgia.

Today’s post will be kind of unusual too, I’ve decided to try my hand at writing something, you call it what you’d think it should be called and let me know. I ask you to be the most sincere and tell me what you think about it. Thanks!

“Dream”

Blurry images circle in my mind

like a dozen bees trying to taste the nectar of a flower

Images dancing in a magical rhythm for a silent musical song that I can not hear.

O dream that has me, totally possessed, show me the truth or let me be myself!

The enchanted blend of colors and images continues… I can hear it now! I can hear the irresistible melody!

Am I still dreaming or is it real?

Why are those stars going around? Why is the sun so bright?

Why am I drifting toward this brilliant galaxy?

This vivid dream is a tangled yarn of impossibilities

Bring me back to my real world!

I do not understand this abstract existence!

I want to wakeup to my world of reality!

Please… let it be just a dream!

Wait a Second!

Our weather is for the birds! … Wait a second!  actually, It is not for the birds, since the weather is still cold and now I should tell you that is raining… cold rain! I don’t think that even ducks like this kind of rain.

Do you know something? I don’t blame the birds for migrating, in fact I think they’re smarter than we are because we stay put and have to take this unforgiving weather while they must be enjoying the tropical weather by now and looking pretty on top of it!. Do I prove my point?

I going to dig from my photo archives all my unpublished material for my posts. But don’t blame me for that, blame the weather, yes! I will blame the climate change like everyone else!

Next I’m bringing you some photos of my avian friends. I wish them a safe and happy migration. 🙂

Brrrr!

Last night we had low temperatures in the mid 20s◦F and at this time almost 10:00 am.is a cold 31 degrees! You must keep in mind that I live in Georgia, where the weather is usually moderate at any season. We’re half way of Autumn and it feels as cold as the worst winter!

At home Lucy had a cold and Tyler wasn’t feeling well and was feverish yesterday, he told us he had pain to the throat, we gave him the doctor’s prescription medicine and this morning he’s feeling much better, luckily for him he’s on a week vacation from school. Luckily for him but it mean more work for us. He’s a handful! :). But he keeps us in good shape! We love him so much! (See photos from last month’s vacation). He’s a smart 3 years old, a computer whiz and a charismatic personality.

Tyler ready to go to the beach! Notice the surfer's attire.
