Monday Montage

One evening, I sat down across the room to eat supper, looked

up and this is what I saw.

One day, I sat down across the room to eat lunch, looked

up and this is what I saw.

Yesterday morning, I saw down across the room to eat breakfast, looked

up and this is what I saw.  

Maggie looking out the window at a large Mourning Dove, 

Scaredy Cat Buddy hunkered down, ears going flat, peeking

over the window sill.

Friday I went to the ortho surgeon for my 3 and 1 year 

check-up and this is what my replaced hips look like.  

How would you like to know all that metal is inside you?  

Creeps me out!!!  What if it gets rusty?

Saturday, Pearl came down and brought me a "tulip" from the 

Tulip Poplar tree behind her place.  

This is what SHE calls a Tulip Tree.

Loaded with yellow blooms, although you can't see them.

Saturday afternoon, I looked up and this is what I saw.

"Yoda" taking a bath.

Then he took a nap.

Sunday afternoon, I looked up and Yoda was taking another bath--

this time sitting on the floor.

Then, he took another nap.

Meanwhile--Maggie stares out the bedroom window at the bushes.

A bloom off my "Momma Iris"--it is more peach then it looks.

My Mother planted it in 1968--the fall after she died, I went

up to the house and dug up one tuber.  

I have since given tubers to my daughter's and sister,

and everywhere I have lived since 1970, has this Iris

plant in a garden there.

======================================================

Life is cut short.  

The extra lap for Buddy and Maggie is gone.  

My Mother has been gone 43 years.  

Yet--life and Mother Nature go on. 

I wish they made replacements for broken hearts!
