Nature and I Breathed In Time (Indian Summer)

Standard

I remember going goose and duck hunting on Lake Traverse, all by myself.

The ducks and geese would come off the lake and fly low over the haystacks up at the north end islands.

I’d climb to the top of the stacks, take off my heavy brush coat, and lay on my back, my coat a pillow, just watching them.

Even while they were within shooting range, I had plenty of shots all of the time there, so I’d just watch………… and maybe take a nap in the last days of the year, when you could do that in the heat of the sun in South Dakota.

I had no need to disturb anything while I watched, geese, ducks, clouds and the Indian Summer spider webs drift by.

……… Nature and I breathed in time. rdd

The October Harvest Moon +

These are going to be intermittent now. I don’t have enough views to justify the time involved when I should be doing other things.

I will try to keep it interesting and post stuff I don’t think is allowed through FB.

The A-10’s and newer stuff are up in the air exercising their wings this morning. I love the sound of defense practice! We must stay sharp, we must stay equipped, and we must practice to defend ourselves from idiots! Their names are in the media news everyday.

And speaking of media, we must watch, listen, sort and decide who’s side we are on, our own or theirs. They range everywhere from the Vegas dude through D.C. lawmakers, right to our own front door. The Constitution is ours to keep, the National Anthem is ours to remind us to take a moment and be thankful, and our freedom depends on these.

Screw with other things and we’ll deal with them…… Don’t screw with our Anthem. It belongs to the real Americans for it’s own reasons. Not yours! Don’t go there. rdd

‘Smug’

Standard

For those that haven’t put me on the closet shelf labelled “remove from having to look at him and listen to him, BUT STAY FRIENDS,
you are probably like me. I don’t have all the answers but enjoy participating in the search for the correct ones.
I am not parked in a ‘safe zone’ waiting for the Golden Ladder. I am not ‘smug’.
I’m wearing my battles with decisions and thoughts, heart and mind on my sleeve.
I do not have IT made.
I trust that attempting to be, attempting to contribute, and learn are acceptable and I shall walk on.
And I am not alone. Thanks for the company and the conversation. rdd

Shroom Creatures (Photo art)

Standard

This morning at light, I was allowed to find these Shroom creatures from Pandora/ Avatar. They had landed in Kenzie’s flowers which, if you know the movie, was apropos. They came to make contact with something of Kenzie’s.
So, I caught them before they flew away back to Pandora and the ‘tree of life’ with their discovery! rdd

The Best Men

The best men know spear chucking, archery, running swiftly, kill the mammoth are natural, and when accompanied by the fine arts of roasting, and saucing, tilling and wenching are as important! …… These are good,…… these are good and make the whole man. A kerchief around the neck seasoned with sweat, tanned crown of thinning silver hair…… some leather and a glint in his eye ……….. Aye! ….I’m almost out of bourbon….. so a bit of shopping too! Aye…..LOL, LOL

….. and when the true woman half of the pair with her particulars, walks up and gives you a sweet peck, then looks you in the eye with her particular grin….. you can both get on with spark. rdd
Good Friday Evening to you.
