Dear God – Sarah McLaughlin

•October 8, 2009 • Leave a Comment

I just went to browse my page at ‘myspace’ and one of my good online buddies had posted this youtube lyrics and music to his space blog. I love Sarah McLauglin’s music and sound of her voice but I had not heard this particular song which strikes a few emotional chords within and like I told my buddy I pray that I don’t get struck down for liking it…

After listening to the video and you have the time I would be interested in hearing from anyone on their thoughts. Enjoy…

 

Barred Owl [video]

During break I was browsing through ‘youtube’ and found this short video and wanted to let other bird and animal lovers view it…

I just love the clarity of the video, it gives us peak into the secretive world of the hoot owl! He looks like he has realized that he is being watched – don’t you think?

Life without Pets…

•October 5, 2009 • Leave a Comment

According to my mother – At the age of three years old I helped our family cat with her delivery of her litter of kittens in the early hours of the morning. I sat patiently beside our cat and as one of her babies arrived I would gently clean up the wet matted kitten with fabric nappy/diaper. Since then I’ve grown up with pets and have never been too long without an animal companion by my side.

Magickal DilemaIf I had things my own way [and the land] I would probably end up being along the same lines as the fictional ‘Doctor Dolittle’ omitting the male gender and medical practice. (Smiling to myself as I imagine myself with the chaos surrounding Rex Harris who portrayed Dr. Dolittle) I know that my husband would agree with my ‘Dolittle’ description.

Presently my husband and I have in our care three dogs, one cat and an aquarium of tropical fish. Periodically, he reminds me that these are to be the last of our pets as we both would like to resume our travels – having raised our four children and many domestic animals over the years. So this is now to be time for us – to be placed in the forefront – so no more animals.

So we shall see… We have done it once before but it only lasted about 9 months before I found myself once again at the animal shelter.

Of course in our home the cat definately rules both the home and garden and will rival any creature who tries to show her otherwise [such as her canine family and all feline intruders] then following closely in second place is my baby girl – our beautiful Border Collie, she is the youngest of all of them followed by our mixed breed Golden retreiver-German Shepherd who is the old gentleman home protector; last but not least is our golden lab who is just a darling so loving…

I can’t imagine my home without an animal it just wouldn’t seem normal after a lifetime having them around me so, when they have gone I will compromise by having only a cat for myself to keep me company.

“I ask you – What good is a magickal person without some kind of animal for companionship anyway?” [smiling to myself]

Last of September

gdn“THIS MORNING IT IS A FABULOUS 66°F…”

Hopefully soon we will see the last of the seasonal humidity until end of April early May.

Finally a taste of cooler weather – this morning it is a refreshing 66°F by afternoon it will be in the 80s… It’s great!  Finally Florida gets a taste of cooler weather – this morning it is a refreshing 66°F by afternoon it will be in the 80s… It’s great!

What a grand exit for September here in Florida is my opinion.  Like many here in the state of Florida I was greeted by Wednesday the last day of the month of September with welcome break in the hot and humid weather.  Though the weather is only teasing us with a break in the high muggy temperatures of summer for me it is shear bliss.

Nature is absolutely beautiful but it also can play havoc on earth’s inhabitants and be cruel!  For the folks who’ve been affected by the tsunami that formed in the Pacific due to an earthquake in the depths of the ocean yesterday – though I am only one I will be keeping them in my thoughts and prayers.

Kitchen Witch

Hello – I hope that my post here finds most of you in a happy frame of mind.  Today day here in my part of the country which is the southeastern part of the states namely Florida’s west coast the current temperature is about 88 degrees farenheit the humidity seems average for this time of year but still far too muggy.  I understand by the local meterologist – sometime tomorrow we should be visited by a cooler weather conditions which should last for most of the week. [HOORAY].

bookPresently, I’m sitting at my desk while on break and I’ve brought in the book I’m currently reading to fill in some of my time.  The book I am currently reading is a light hearted book by author ‘Annette Blair’ it is from her Witch series.  I’ve already read the ‘Kitchen Witch’ which I thoroughly enjoyed and now I’ve got to nearly the end of the second chapter of the next book called ‘My Favorite Witch’ but we will have to see; it’s still early days yet before I will know how much I will like it.
