images of love

 

Love is not just looking at each other, it's looking in the same direction. - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return. - Nat King Cole  

To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides. - David Viscott 

Love is an endless mystery, for it has nothing else to explain it. - Rabindranath Tagore

The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves. - Victor Hugo

That last quote really speaks to me. Years ago, when Son1 was in preschool, he told his teacher, "Mom is a rose because she has thorns.". No argument from me!

Welcome to October, 2022, when, in much of the world, Halloween is a welcome distraction from the all-too-real threats we face. We’d rather face imaginary characters and creatures than threats of war, politics and disease. (Not to mention inflation).

What are some of the characters or creatures that scare you? Bats? Black cats? Owls? Witches? 

These bats look positively cute and cuddly to me. If one got in my attic, it might bump around and startle me, but it's unlikely to hurt me.

This mischievous black cat just wants to play, and maybe chase the bats out of the attic.

Looks like this wise owl is hard at work getting rid of rodent pests. He's welcome to perch on my roof.

One night a few weeks ago, I decided to take out the garbage before getting ready for bed. My husband had fallen asleep on the living room couch.  

I had just dropped the trash bag into the can when I heard an enormous thump on the roof of my husband's shop. The hair stood up on the back of my neck. I wished I'd turned on the porch light.

I snuck into the house and grabbed the flashlight we keep in the kitchen. Then I ever-so-quietly returned to the driveway and waited in the darkness. After a few minutes, scraping and scrabbling noises came from the back of the shop roof.  I suppressed a shiver. Whatever-it-was, was still up there.

I aimed my flashlight, held my breath, and thumbed the button.

A large creature leapt through the narrow beam of light in a blur of brown fur and red eyeshine as it jumped off the roof and over the fence onto the neighbor's property,

What was it?

Not a cougar. Not a burglar. Definitely not a witch.

A deer that went bump in the night!
