Got Time?

When Blogger changed its dashboard layout, I had no idea I was posting these on my photography blog.  Ugh.  

Ever noticed how there doesn't seem to be enough time to do everything?  That's just a symptom of recent times, it seems.  Between jobs, home chores, laundry, grocery shopping, all the usual simple chores to keep us sane - it leaves us little time to do the other things we want to get done.  I wonder all the time how I can get more time into my day, to do what needs to be done.

I recently tossed out my old desk, and re-purposed my entertainment center into a new desk, which means losing all the old places to store things.  I have all these things that need to be put somewhere, and it seems like I get one thing put in one place, and find a dozen other things that need to be put somewhere.  Every day, I put away one thing --- but it seems like there's never an end to the dozen other things!

Today, I needed a thumb drive to move some files for safekeeping, and I couldn't find it!   Aarrgghh! It's just so frustrating.  I thought I had all of those in "one single place"; turns out I didn't.  Because a desk is used every day (at least, mine is!), things are sort of fluid - always moving from place to place!

Got Nature?

It's so easy to take things for granted, to look at things that are always there and not really notice them.  Sometimes our lives are so busy, we move from work to home to chores to bed and forget there's more out there.

Like this flock of geese
honking noisily .......






I've been guilty of that for more than a month. It's much easier to walk Sadie around the neighborhood than hop in the car and head for our favorite park.  But we miss out on so much when we take the easy way out!

Even on a cloudy day, the sun breaks through and shines a bit of evening light on the pond.....





Golden Ball Lead Tree, they have a dreamy scent to me, light and elusive at times.











and of course,  #AzSadieThePug!

she just LOVES going to this park

and we walked for an hour!

one receives far more than he seeks."
