Pretty cool!
And, if we put some wheels on, it can be turned to get sun on all the sides.

With a grandchild on the way, the first, naturally mind and eyes turn to babythings.

Baby Boy!

It's a boy!
Just heard from BelleFille³ that the Baby will be a boy, as my son and she were desiring.

Ríu Ríu Chíu

I first heard it many years ago on my beloved cassette (cassettes! that many years!) by The Waverly Consort.
No youtube for them, but this, different, does well.

Little People

A grandchild, the first for both families, should be premiering in October!
Son³ and BelleFille³ are ecstatic!

A cute image of "Things in Store"  brought by a friend on Fb, and then, with a little research, from the original site.

It started out as Kamasutra para Pápas; the original, but much less funny, Baby Sleeping Positions.

Cool image!

Color the Grey

Just back from trip Across The Big Pond.
Had me all sorts of weather: cold, cold & rainy, freezin' cold (for me) & rainy, warm & sunny, hot...

Got back — grey, rainy and cold weather.
And caught a cold.

So feeling rather grey and cold myself, and remembering all those grey days with grey-to-ish buildings makes me appreciate all the more these photos.

Vesta Visit

... and a funny comment from the Youtube page:

This is why we have nothing to fear from AI robots. Why would you sit around on Earth farming humans when you could spend your thousands-of-years lifespan watching youtube? I mean, soaring through space? crewnumber169

Celebrating

Each positive happening resonates powerful ripples in our collective pond. Look for things to celebrate. Ignore what isn’t loving and replace it with your own good thoughts and activity. Make the choices that will keep your feet firmly on your path. Many of us were motivated in recent years by anger, pressing us forward as a response to outrage and frustration, but anger is a catalyst, not a life path. Perpetual anger distorts our judgment. It’s yet another hole in which we can find temporary comfort, but no future for ourselves or our world. No, it’s not anger that will blast us out of pattern. It’s self-love, self-understanding, compassion and grace.

Walking Down Another Street

There’s A Hole In My Sidewalk
Autobiography in Five Short Chapters
by Portia Nelson

I.
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost … I am helpless.
It isn’t my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

II.
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don’t see it.
I fall in again.
I can’t believe I am in this same place.
But it isn’t my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

III.
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in … it’s a habit … but,
my eyes are open,
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.

IV.
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

V.
I walk down another street.
