It Makes All The Difference

Blue Sky Day

 

Does it solve stress or cause stress?

 

Well now...

 

We're off to see the Wizard!

Perseverance

 

All Souls Night

A song from the point of view of the dead - who return at this time of year,

when the veil between worlds is thin - to dance with the living

lyrics

Long ago we walked these roads

That today you boldly tread

We tilled the fields and we built the homes

Where now you dwell instead

We broke our hearts on Time's harsh wheel

We laughed, we loved, we lost

We saw the sun both rise and set

And for that glory paid the cost

So let your voices sing and your drumbeat sound

Let the sacred fire burn bright

For the dead will dance with the living

All on this All Soul's Night

Remember, oh remember, at this turning of the year

Our faces long forgotten. Speak our names and draw us near.

Remember, oh remember, so that we may know again

The sound of living voices and the warmth of living kin

So let your voices sing and your heartbeat sound

Let the sacred fire burn bright

For the dead will dance with the living

All on this All Soul's Night

Time to reverse your ceiling fan

In the summer, your ceiling fan keeps you cool by pushing cooler air downwards with its counterclockwise spin. Now that Fall is here, reverse the blades so that, by spinning clockwise, they send the rising warm air back down where it can do you some good.

Geese!

Loch Nest on her cradle

How about a sheep joke?

Today we pull Loch Nest out of the Lake for the Winter
