I love these two musicians!

Suck It Up Buttercup!

 

Oh hells bells but I can only go so long before my snarkiness

just bleeds through the friggin front of my brain.

It took a long time and a lot of bumps in the middle of the night

before I became aware that I didn't have to do anything

I didn't want to do...

 

The most powerful two letter word

probably one of the first words I learned as a child

before it was beat out of me as the worst two letter word

that I could ever even remotely consider saying

is NO...no...no...no!

 

I owe no one nothing because I have always

stubbornly been free of other's guilt ridden stories

fantasies that are weaved so richly in the bullshit artist

whose tentacles are always on a search for the meek and mild

but I learned.

 

Guilt is not allowed...excuses hold no water

nothing in life can't be fixed, thrown away or ignored

there is no good or bad

there's just days when you don't want to deal with it

and days you say

Suck it Up Buttercup!

 

Always have a wry sense of humor...that's what makes

or breaks your day...so just suck it up!

Happiest of Thanksgivings!

Thanksgiving is just a day that is ingrained in us from childhood.

 

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday

 

filled with memories and good food.

 

I am doing sweet potatoes for the family dinner

 

but a full bird will find its way into my oven on Saturday

 

because it really is about

 

turkey sandwiches!!

 

Happy Thanksgiving.

Little Things...

I bought a new laptop which I love and I have adjusted to the new explorer connections though it is not what I would call an improvement.  When I tried to post on my blog it said I didn't have the latest internet connection and must upgrade.

Being such a good little doobie...I checked it out and it told me I had the most up-to-date of everything in the world.  Puzzled it then told me how to find it on my computer and there it was in the apps.  So I log on with Internet Explorer 10 and my blog works perfectly.  So do I switch everything from the light Explorer or just use two different connections?  This is where procrastination comes in handy for I will deal with that later.

Above is a photograph of three glass cherry blossoms made from boro glass.  What is boro?  It is a glass that is very hard to melt as in it takes a high temperature to reach the melting point.  My torch is designed for glass that melts easier but as you can see it will melt boro with patience and persistence.  I have been working on the torch for twelve years and have shied away from using boro but I am bored and when I am bored I try things I normally don't. 

I am in a bubble of boredom and one must wonder how anyone can be bored but I am.  My writing just isn't moving forward, I can't find a good book to read, my house is purged and clean, the garden has been winterized and I am bored.   I guess I will ride this one out and just enjoy the vacuum of my muse.

New Mexico Wildlife

 

this was an absolute first for me

I have never seen an elk and that's silly since

I have lived in Texas and Virginia

where they must surely be

 

we pulled over on our drive from Denver

to home when we spotted

a very large herd of elk

we always are lucky to see the Pronghorn Antelope

in our adventures but the closest

we have gotten to the elk is the sign along

the highway that says "Elk Crossing"

 

 

these are very healthy and fat elk

who is taking advantage of a warm November

in Northern New Mexico

They migrate along the San Juan mountain ranges

herding mostly on private ranches

 

there were several very large buck

in the herd

 

Life is beautiful

in Northern New Mexico!
