Do we ever really know...


Where home is.....?
Do we ever actually get to the point where we know....
Really know...
that we are going to live the rest of our days
in the place to which we have arrived...
Children never seem to have a care...
never worry....
not at this point
where they run thru a field...
in pretty spring dresses,
picking flowers for Mommy....
Oh to be a child...
carefree...
burden free...
worry free...
how would that feel?
Can we convince ourselves that there
is more than just this current trend
of disappointments...
Can we actually
find a way to
"live in the moment"?
What would become of the world
if we all lived
simply in the moment...?
Do we have
the ability to
focus ourselves on the
here and now?
Or did we give up that ability
long ago,
when we innocently traipsed ourselves into
adulthood...
Oh to be Peter Pan...

I just can't get enough.....


Of these guys...
and gals...
they are just fascinating to watch...
they are so accustomed to me now that I can just about sit
right under the feeder and watch them...
I don't know volumes on hummingbirds,
but what I understand is that they
are now in the process of fattening up (and who wouldn't)
for their long flight south for the winter.
Well,
I love to watch them
flit about,
hit that feeder,
fight with each other...
and wasps...
and honey bees....
and other birds...
I think they are just the
perfect obsession for a sunny
Friday afternoon..
