Subtitles

Yep, I use subtitles when I watch movies at home.
Have you seen Gnomeo and Juliet?
You should.
"I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts" in Spanish.
It's random and you'll never see it coming but once you see it,
it'll change your life.

Take a Nap


If there is one spot of sun spilling onto the floor,
a cat will find it and
soak it up.

Shiver


It always gives me a shiver
when I see a cat seeing
what I can't see.

Mistakes


My daughter can be a perfectionist.  Especially when it comes to her education.  I spend a lot of time telling her that you can't learn if you don't make mistakes.  Becca's youngest has this sign in her classroom.  So let's all remember that life is all about mistakes and learning from them.
Peace!

Optimism


I saw this sitting on the counter at
Avenue Bread
on James st this week.
This giant jar
showed me a ray of optimism
and made my Hippie Heart oh so Happy.
So if you got a minute and some extra change stop on by
and help fill the jar
and make the world a better place.

Peace Is Free

Yesterday was the first time the kids have marched for Peace.  
They made the sign the girls are carrying.
It says "Peace Is Free".
Our fantastic Hippie Kids!

International Day of Peace


We look forward to the time when the Power of Love
will replace the Love of Power.
Then will our world know the blessings of
peace.

Fall?


The foliage has been losing its freshness through the month of August, and here and there a yellow leaf shows itself like the first gray hair amidst the locks of a beauty who has seen one season too many.

TV

TV.  
If kids are entertained by two letters, imagine the fun they'll have with twenty-six.  
Open your child's imagination.  
Open a book.

Buddha


In this world
Hate never yet dispelled hate.
Only love dispels hate.

Ancient and inexhaustible.

Dinosaurs Do That



Great white sharks, big storms - 
somehow, I think we like to be put in our place by awesome things.
Dinosaurs do that.

Width


I don't want to get to the end of my life
and find that I lived just

the length of it.
I want to have lived the
width of it as well.

Be free.

Unexpected Fun

A nice walk can turn up fun in the most unexpected ways.
Mudflats to get dirty on, logs to climb on, or a rope swing over the river.

MUD


Mud is the most poetical thing in the world.

I Love you Mr Jones.
Thank you for all you are and all you do.

Labor Day


The man who doesn't relax and hoot a few hoots voluntarily,
now and then,
is in great danger of
hooting hoots and standing on his head
for the edification of the pathologist and trained nurse,
a little later on.
~Elbert Hubbard~

it's hard to believe that we live in
a material world.

Nature


Nature is so powerful, so strong.
Capturing its essence is not easy
- your work becomes a dance with light and the weather.
It takes you to a place within yourself.

~Annie Leibovitz~
