Mushrooms for Breakfast

We have a visiting monkey from England. He is on a tour of the World and started his trip in Washington, DC. He has visited the White House and has been hanging around our house for a while. This morning we were all surprised by some very large mushrooms in the yard. The monkey - his name is Party Monkey or PM for short immediately asked for a mushroom omelet. We had to explain that it is not a good idea to eat mushrooms you find growing in your backyard. So we are all going out for breakfast today.

Clouds and Angels

I love to look at clouds from airplane windows. I took lots of cloud pictures on my recent trip. I always wonder if angels are in them looking down on the earth and taking care of people. When I got home I had a package from my friend Judi. She knew just what to send me. It's a worry box. You are supposed to keep your worries in the box and the angels with help you with them. This is the kindest, most thoughtful gift I have every received.

Inside the worry box it says: Your Worry Box, this box is for your worries. The aches within your heart. A place to tuck away your fears, where love and hope can start. So keep this box beside you, and know how much they care, for when you need peace and joy the angels will be there.

Play the music in the Worry Box when you need solace. Open it for reassurance, and when in despair, remember that "the angels will be there."

Back Yard photos

Here's what is going on in my back yard. Beautiful purple Asters, lots of bees and butterflies and caterpillars eating the parsley I plant for them every year. I would like to report that they seem to prefer the flat leaf to the curly leaf this year.
