homage to van gogh's starry night

ach, habe ich dich zur Theorie von fische=faul bekehrt? sorry. nein, Zeit soll doch kein Faktor sein. wir sind ja keine Virgos, die immer viel "erreichen" wollen. wir sind schon da, was heiß "erreichen"? na, ich sag wir, beruhe mich auf meinem Mond in Fische. ob ich das wohl darf?

Good for him!

Just finished watching Donald's Victory Speech.

CLASS!

Very, VERY Gracious and all-inclusive.

A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I couldn't help but think of Ronald Reagan!

🙂

He was very presidential. 🙂

Nice speech.

His poor kid tho! He must be exhausted 😆

All I can say is very classy.

The man has good tastes. When he talked about rebuilding America's infrastructure, it's highways and bridges....

I thought... IF he could get that done, I don't doubt that he could see to it that they do an impeccable job if he is able.

The best part, if his infrastructure and jobs plans really do materialize and puts people back to work like they

had, before, the country might stand a chance. IMHO, it's going to be a LOT of SERIOUSLY REAL hard work, on everyone's part.

Hard work is a GOOD thing. It makes a person feel better about themselves. Far better than a "handout".

I want to believe. But my life experience and cynicism says... wait and see and hope for the best, prepare and brace for the worst.

Kinda reminds me of the pics I used to make when I was a kid.

I just want to say, I really like Ben Carson. I hope Trump has a place for him in his cabinet.

I also liked the way he acknowledge and thanked the Veterans, the Secret Service and Law Enforcement.

He also acknowledged his parents, who have already passed on. That tells me that he is a sentimental and respectful individual.

Ahhh, Leonard Cohen died. Great music by this man.



My favorite.

Pretty! I just had memories. When we were kids, my brother would catch those iridescent green metallic scarabs, and one time he tied a string to the leg of one and it flew around like a pet on a leash. June bugs, they are called.

This one giving himself a bath! So cute 🙂

I would imagine that "The Lady of Glassel" would have a nice flower garden.



She probably has some bugs, too.

just sayin'.

To answer the question "To be, or not to be?" depends on what the definition of the word be, be.

Most people, who benefit at their tables, don't really know the challenges that family farmers face.

The obscene over-regulations, penalties, fines, and taxes, bank-debts, heartaches and anxieties

that are pressed onto the family farmer, and we haven't begun to plant seed, let alone harvest.

How the masses soon forget those that provide them food, lest they starve.

I play the music while watching the silent film of the farm.

I am taken back to the Oklahoma farm world of my maternal great grandparents.

In the beginning, I can see my great-great-grandparents walking.... together.... toward the barn.

A time when they would get up at 3 in the morning and begin their days.

A time when families stuck together, neighbors and communities worked together.

And through the Great Depression and WWII held on and fought and won, together.









What gave them their greatness, is sadly, what's missing, far too much, in this world, today.

This reminds me to dig up, refresh and rebulb my gladiola garden, but damn it's still too hot

hmmm

Here's an idea.... If you don't have one, already, how about picking up a halogen light and

work your Gladiator garden of an evening, when it is cooler?.

There's the smaller hand-held portable and the stand-type.

Gladiolas are very purdy. Do you have a favorite color?



*Legend has it that gladiolas are the flowers of the gladiator's true love, for whom he lives, fights

and dies for.



* I made that legend up.

That's a nice legend, MrBird 🙂

The lighter color glads seem to do very well in the afternoon sun, compared to the darker reds and purple ones.

I love them all...can't pick a favorite

Sounds like you have a green thumb. (heh heh, Jeff Foxworthy... If you have a green thumb, you might be a martian) jk

Could be that they actually do like it that way... the lighter colors favor afternoon sun, darker colors morning sun and perhaps partial shade. Might be something to investigate.

This was fun to watch Loved the old buggies.

I imagined hitching a team of extra long haired Sagittarians to pull my wagons.



I felt pretty good about myself when I could see that team all hitched up.

I thought of a box of Borax.

You gotta watch this!

I remember driving through the Amish country.

To see those Belgians pull that Peterbilt truck out of a ditch is just an awesome sight

for me.





I think could watch that all day...

Beautiful, powerful, and faithfully obedient.

All they need is love, attention and respect.

Many people don't even know draft horses exist, other than

the Budweiser Clydesdales - that's pretty darned sad.

Now, you just gotta see these beauties...





As much as I love old cars, trucks, motorcycles, tractors of the last 120 years,

they cannot cut the mustard compared to the horses, mules, oxen, camels, and other

working animals that have provided mankind with such mercifully God-given help from

the beginning.

It makes me happy. 🙂

What makes me angry is what man has chosen to do... as in eating horses, and for the modern

age, neglect them to die. - it's sad, but a true fact, not so familiar to the city people.

IMHO, it's got to change.

btw... did you know that the kind of work we have seen draft animals do, isn't really that much work at all?

When they are well cared for, they are extremely strong and have great stamina. A plow would be like a feather to them.

That's something that many animal rights activists don't realize, forgetting the thousands of years these

animals had worked the land over and over, before their concerns were ever raised.

The problem with our modern age, especially in the developed world, is that mankind's management skills

have gone bye-bye. I think it is a process of degeneration that begins somewhere about the time they discovered that the western hemisphere existed. When the industrial revolution came about, it only accelerated the decline. Such great wealth had been uprooted, exploited and abused, thinking that modern technology was the answer to all of life's ills, when, in reality that never was the case.

- What I am saying here, is "everything in moderation" and carefully managed.

Had they done that, I think things would have been a lot better for everyone around the world.

Here's another. 🙂

I may be alone, enjoying all this horse-hockey, but I'm havin' a good time. 🙂

whistles... to pass the time...

naw... wait I just can't do it....





I have conquered the Sag forum!!!
