Re: Yesterday's questions........

THANK YOU to all, who replied to my question(s)!!!

And if my blog looks too wide, on your screen...  Thanks to some of my Dear Readers, I may have solutions for this.

Sandra commented:
"last week ..........., told me my blog was to big for her screen and she had to scroll to look at it. i told her to check her zoom tool. she had accidentally zoomed her screen. your blog is fine on my PC and on my laptop"

Vee commented:
"Your blog loads beautifully for me and is wide, but then I have my settings on wide and vastly prefer wide.

Anyone can adjust quickly and easily, if using a PC, by pressing control and the plus (or minus) sign simultaneously."

I also know that I post big pictures.  Because I love to find big pics, on blogs I access.  But I am trying to cut their size, some.  Plus, I have Settings to just 1 entry showing, now.  So when someone accesses my blog, they only have to wait for 1 blog entry's worth of pics, to load.  I hope these changes, will help, with the load time issue.


Any time, anything (on my blog) doesn't seem to show-up-well, on your screen...  Please feel free to tell me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I won't feel like you are chastising me.  :-))))  We never know, how our blog looks, to Dear Readers, if they don't tell us!!!!!!

3 'Happy's'~~~Thank you~~~"Use it or lose it"~~~

♥
Happy morning Moon...
Happy First of May...
Happy 3rd Birthday, to Gabriel Michael...

Just a silly belly-button picture...  -gigggles-

Just a silly "I covered it up, Nana!" picture.  -more gigggggles-

A pretty alley-view, into a drive-way, up the alley...

Thank you to all the Dear Readers who commented on my post.  Agreeing...  Not agreeing...  Both...  Thankfully, we are still FREE to hold our opinions, and to state our opinions.  It seems very important, to occasionally state our opinions, in order to keep this FREEDOM.  You know what they say:  "Use it or lose it."  I think this applies to more, than just to muscle strength.
♥
I also like to let-it-all-hang-out, now and then...  I like to show that "Auntie" is not just a sweet, little, ol' gal.  (Hehh, I can hear the sniggggering...  When did anyone ever think "Auntie" was just a sweet, little, ol' gal, hu????!!!!???  -chuckle-)  Yeah, well, true...
♥ 
And perhaps this morning, I have a differing opinion on that "Stop Complaining" manta, too.  Oh I still agree on trying to stop *bitching about* every little (or big) thing that comes-down-the-pike.  Constant whining doesn't help anyone.   But!!!
♥
If we are just mild, quiet, hippity-happy, passive, smiling individuals,  ALL-THE-TIME,......   Isn't that like being drones?  Or serfs?  Or subjects?  Or ....  You fill in the blanks.  There is a time and a place for Passion, and for Strong Views, and for being willing to rock the boat.  "Auntie" sezzzzzzzz....  How about you??????

A Decision... maybe.....

♥

My heart and best wishes, 
go out to all people, 
in the path of this latest massive winter storm.  
Wishing you well,  in all ways...

 ♥
 

Thank you very much, to all Dear Readers, who took the time to answer my question...  I guess we laid that blogging issue, to rest.  For our group of bloggers, at least.  Most do not require that a Reader/Commenter have a blog.  Just have a Profile, in Blogger. 

And might I add, have a e-mail addy, on that Profile Page.   So that one can make contact with the Commenter, if wished...


I am contemplating, not blogging in such a regular way, for a bit.  Sometimes, blogging gets to feeling like a "job".  Blogging can begin to feel like having a daily dead-line...  To get one's thoughts/photos up and published, for the day.  And dead-lines, do take some fun out of anything, for me.

Now, of course!!!  I may well continue to blog, in my same way...  Daily, daily, daily...  Nothing like making-a-statement, to "take-the-wind-out" of an idea/possibility.  -grin-  

But if I do change my blogging pattern, I don't want anyone to worry about a day missed, here or there.  In other words, I don't want any Dear Reader to react to a missed day, on a usually daily blog, with "fear" and "trembling" and "worry."  That is what I do!  Don't want you to!!!  :-)

Finished a non-fiction book...  Enjoyed it enough, to want more, by this author.  See more about it, by clicking "Auntie's Reads 2013"...

*Warning*! Deep thinking, enclosed. :-)

♥

See those "sort-of-X's-of-light", mid photo?  They were not out in the snow.  Since I took this photo, through window glass, and "into" the sun, I guess those (sort-of-X's-of-light) are an effect of sun, on the window glass.  Cool effect!  :-) 


And it happened three times.  So naturally, I had to post all 3 pics!  "Surprise Photo Op" kind-of...  Never, never, never pass up such!!!!!!!!  :-)


I am not scientific.  Don't have any bend-that-way.  So thank you to "Ellen In Oregon," for explaining, why candles seem to *eat smoke.*  :-)

I have another *wonder.*  And don't know how to prove it, scientifically. 

But......................................


On Earth... 

Every living thing, is made-up-of-and-from other things, which have been living....   In other words, no cow eats some plastic, along with her feed, and incorporates that plastic, into her calf, growing within her.............    Nor do any other animals, do so........   Nor do human mothers incorporate random pieces of plastic, into their gestating fetus.............

Living things, are made up, from other living things, which have died.

Sooooooooooooooooo...  If one holds that each human, has a unique 'soul' or 'life force' or whatever one wants to call it.....  Then it can truly be said, that no other human being, was ever exactly like each of us are, as to our unique 'soul' or 'life force'....   

BUT  THE  BODY!!! 

Every ding-dang body, is made up of previously living stuff.  Bodies are made up of constantly reused stuff-of-earth.  So NO  BODY  can be believed to be totally UNIQUE.  Our body (and bodies of other living things) are made up of the Earth stuff, which was here in the beginning....  And is used, over and over and over again....  Earth stuff, being used to birth living things, which live and die and decompose back into the Earth, and are then used, by coming generations. 

The Original Form of Recycling!!!!!!  

YES????????


Gabe was telling us about ducks, which he learned from a book.  Complete with arm movements, to show how ducks flap their wings, when they fly.  I asked him for another demonstration, and I got this.  ,-)

This Header pic will soon be gone, because Valentine's Day will come and go.  And I LIKE it.  So I'm "keeping" it, by posting it.  :-)  It was one example, of the effect which I try for, a lot.  And don't usually accomplish it.  Up-close-is-clear...  Distance-is-fuzzy...  Particularly wonderful, for capturing *fuzzy* faerie lights...  :-)

We are not the same person this year as last;
nor are those we love.
It is a happy chance if we,
changing, 
continue to love a changed person."
~Anon

I think that quote above,  
is one of the most brilliant sets of words,

"It is a delicious moment, certainly, ..." :-)

♥♥♥
 
THANK  YOU!!!   To my Dear Readers who were so encouraging in comments, on my blog entry of yesterday.  Thank you for being so sweet to me.  Many thanks...  Many hugs...  :-)
 
♥♥♥

These 5 photos were taken at 5PM, on Mon. 

Yes, this above, is all I get for a Sunset.  -sigh- 


The days are getting longer.  I've been noticing....

As you can tell, I was having fun, with my tiny bit of Sunset!  ,-)

Just look at the beauty of bare tree branches, in Winter!!!!!!!!!!!   I love it!

OK, OK...  I know....   Too much "Playing" with this silly Sunset photo.  ;-))))))))))

♥♥♥

that of being well nestled in bed and feeling
 that you shall drop gently to sleep..."

It's working!!!!!!!!!!!!!

♥

My reading of "Women Who Run With The Wolves" is already paying off.  On Sat. I brought out my paper, brushes and water colors, and began........

Just a beginning...  And I didn't seem to be able to get a photo of what I did, with enough WHITE-ness showing in the photo.  But today/Sun. I'll try a different way of photographing it.


The BEGINNING, was/is so important.  I have been wanting to try Water Coloring, for a long time.  Too long a time.  Saturday's happening, was a break-through.    -happy sigh-


I am still reading the book.  It is long and it is deep, but it is being worth it.  To have given my inner Wild Woman enough Strength, to call me to get out my paper, brushes, colors..........  And to begin and finish one simple little piece.  

It may be just one...  But it feels like *a million*...  :-)

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Trying to capture morning sunlight....   As "sparkles" on snow and "light shadows" on inside wall...


You *have* to tell me, that you see that 3 "sparkles" to the left side of the photo!!!  ,-)))


*Shadows* of Light, on brick wall beside fireplace...


"The night was clear and frosty,
all ebony of shadow 
and silver of snowy slope;
big stars were shining over the silent fields."
~Lucy Maud Montgomery




"Sparkle" left...  "Sparkle" right...  :-)

THANK YOU for the comment/replies to my question of yesterday...   I enjoy every 'take.' view and reply!  But me-thinks I need to do a post some day, on what the term "Crone" means to me. 

It's not an easy term to figure out, without some "digging."  But you know me!  I love to "DIG"!!!

Some-a-this and some-a-that... :-)

♥
Yes, another "Because I Can" pic!  -grin-

Tonight is the Dark Moon or the New Moon...  The Full Moon is always beautiful, and I love it.  But I am becoming more and more interested in, and drawn to, the Dark Moon...  The New Moon...

♥
Read half of "The Bouncing Grandma" last night.   -sigh-  Half was all I could get through.  Not my kind of Cozy Mystery with a Grandmother in it.  Too slow.  The Grandma is too young.  Did I say, too slow?  People were not that intriguing.  Oh well, there are plenty more Cozy Mysteries out there.  With plenty more older ladies, whom I'd enjoy more.  

Plus, I guess I've gotten quite "spoiled."  I can't enjoy any small town now, unless it's set in the rural UK .  :-)
♥
But, while I may like my "Grandmas In Books," to be older.......
♥
I want my music (and musicians) to be younger...  In their 30's and from the USA.  "Band Of Horses" latest CD "Mirage Rock"...

♥
There's *my man* Ryan, laughing and rockin' out and having a great time, while making this CD.

♥


Believe-you-me!  Dance and move to this CD, and get over a half hour of GREAT exercise!  Fun!  Fun!  Fun!  ,-)  MY Kind of EXERCISE!!!  ,-)))))))

And the best part is (to me, anyway...), for this latest CD, they just went into the studio and played!  So it's much more like a live performance, than CD's which have been totally over-laid and mixed.

"Some censuring Readers will scornfully say, why
hath this lady writ her own life?  Since none cares to 
know whose daughter she was or whose wife she is, 
or how she was bred, or what fortunes she had, 
or how she lived or what humor or disposition she was of?
I answer that it is true, that 'tis to no purpose to the readers, 
but it is to the authoress, because I write
it for my own sake, not theirs."
~~Margaret Cavendish in 1655

Isn't this, a rather neat description, of our blogging...  tooooo? ♥

I own all of Gladys Taber's books.   (Except the ones about pets) When we were looking for the recipe for her "Cranberry Island Stew," I had the thought;  "I ought to look in her recipe book."  But typically, I forgot to look.

♥
A Dear Reader let me know, that this recipe is right in Glady's Cookbook.  Which is right on my shelf.    Thank you Dear Reader!  From now on, I should get back to paying attention to my "Maybe-you-ought-to-Thoughts"!!!  Duhhhhhhhhhhh me!
