The Bird Making Bad Choices, or the Bird Needing Glasses

I saw this picture on www.irishcentral.com yesterday, and it cracked me up.  This bird obviously did not see the sign properly, or he just decided to disregard the rule and see what happened if he sat there.  I’m guessing that nothing happened, and now all the birds will be doing it today.  Where will it all end?  Birds will be sitting on signs everywhere.  Have a good day, and watch out for those crazy birds.  🙂  Slainte, Lisa

Boats on the Blue

I love boats, and water, and boats, and water.  Hmmm…I see a recurrent theme there.  🙂  Just put me on a boat, big or small and let me move along on some water, big or small, and I’m a pretty happy girl.  Sun beating down on your face, sea spray blowing on your face, the gentle or not so gentle loll of the wake against the boat…ahh.  One of my very favorite and first memories of boating was with my uncle and cousin when I was young.  They had a motor boat on the Potomac and would take our family out in the summer for a picnic on the shore.  After dropping off the food and older relatives on the beach, my cousin would take us back out on the water, rev up the motor, and we would fly.  He’d hit boat wakes on purpose, and we’d scream happily.  Great memories.  🙂  Here are some of our favorite pictures we’ve taken of boats.  And if you are on the water today, enjoy every minute!  Slainte, Lisa

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.  They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”  – Lamentations 3 :23

Your day, brand new, given to you, all wrapped up by God.  Enjoy seeing what’s inside.  Slainte, Lisa

Just a few hours later

Scene: St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, mere days before Spring….Sea of white, white trees, white bushes.

Hmmm….major special effects.  🙂  Have a wonderful green or white or whatever color day you’re having!  Slainte, Lisa
