The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive. To him... a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create -- so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating.
-Pearl S. Buck,

Colors- Farben

[Verse 1]
You words paint pictures in the sky
And I stand there with a second pair of eyes
Your gazes go deeper than the lake
I want to plunge into them

[Pre-Chorus]
But the way you speak of the horizon of the beautiful
t would be better if you went

[Chorus]
With you, I can be simple, no dream too big
No step too small
And the colors come back
Oh, the colors slowly come back

[Verse 2]
I fall next to you
Do you feel how I lose my footing
So just where does it come from?

[Pre-Chorus]
Because they way you float on, ever further towards the foreign place
It would be better if you went

[Chorus]
With you, I can be simple, no dream too big
No step too small
And the colors come back
Oh, the colors slowly come back
Oh, oh, oh

[Bridge]
Because with you, everything becomes valuable
Because with you, my heart grows full (Oh)
Because with you, everything becomes valuable (Oh)
Because with you, my heart grows full

[Chorus]
With you, I can be simple, no dream too big
No step too small
And the colors come back
Oh, the colors slowly come back

[Outro]
So what if you stayed?
And somehow, we'll find the time
And the colors will come back
Look! The colors are all coming back

Grief never ends...
But it changes. It's a passage, not a place to stay.
Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith...
It is the price of love.
Elizabeth I

Good morning..

Fantastic way to start the morning, thank you Bubble!!

When one has the opportunity to sleep in the body has a mind of its own and wants out of bed!

A day of rest here...may hibernate in the sewing room .

Listening to crows in the distance and the housed roosters voice their opinion. Soon they will have no voice .

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good morning, everyone. Bubble an interesting start to the day and month, thank you.

Amy · September 02, 2024, 06:54:25 AM

Good morning..

Temp is not going above 63° today! Good day to do outside work and get it caught up......if ever.

Started another quilt and I am anxious on how it will turn out..it has mature white dandelions, ones that a child (or adult) will blow in the wind of a pale blue fabric. The secret of this fabric is that it glows in the dark!

There are a lot of should do's today but we shall see what does or doesn't get done.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · September 02, 2024, 06:58:49 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend! I didn't get a chance to check out last night because the computer was doing a scan so being very tired, I just decided to go to bed.

Yesterday, we went to my son's house and had a picnic in his yard with him and his family! It was nice and he and Christy had a chance to catch up. They are my twins! And they both said that they don't get together enough. We also got some first-hand information from my granddaughter about her senior year in high school and what colleges shes thinking about. They did major visits this summer!

Now, when I finish my coffee, I'm taking a walk. Cooper will be arriving a little before ten this morning and I think he's going to spend the night. I think Frankie is going to spend the night to because she works later than usual and then has to be in early tomorrow. Gonna be a busy day!

I wish you all a good day! Make it your own in every way and don't forget to let us know how you did that! We're a curious bunch!

patricia19 · September 02, 2024, 11:56:41 AM

Good morning, 36 degrees at 7:30, but my right leg is stiff and aching and there is frost on the roof of the building across from me. Morning domestics are finished, Farrah's fed and napping, and I'm sitting here with my first cup of coffee.

There are a number of tasks I could do today, an Amazon order due tomorrow along with a number of bills, and other tasks waiting, but I'm lacking enthusiasm. Today may be a couch potato day.

My sister is finishing up some fall tasks before leaving with friends to go crisscrossing the country, and has promised to send post cards at stops along the way. She has also planned to send some Mackinaw Fudge, which I've heard of but never tried.

She's the creative, adventurous, one in the family, having been on almost every continent, living in France and Italy, attending cooking school in Florence, taken trips to China, etc. but says this country crisscross will be her last big trip. She's the youngest, ten years younger than me, and I've envied her determination, and creativity.

Jane, enjoy your time with family, Cooper and Lennie. It sounds wonderful to be with family.

Amy, your quilt sounds intriguing with dandelion puffs and glowing fabric. I hope you'll have pictures to show along the way.

Amy · September 03, 2024, 06:34:12 AM

Good morning..

Off to a chilly strat this morning with a temp of 42°. Needless to say no a/c on or the windows wide open.

Not sure what today will bring, lots to do if I get my mind set to do it. Made the windows giggle yesterday ,now they are sparkly clean. Need to use the power washer on the front deck and need to also start the generator just to make sure it is working alright. Trees need to be trimed back but that is a job closer to the time when our dump is open. No worry on what's for lunch as we are still working our way through Phyllis's 15 bean soup..good on these chilly days.

Patricia, the secret of this fabric was a surprise to me. I just liked the soft blue with the dandelions on it,now to glow in the dark is a bonus!

Jane, enjoy your time with family. Did Cooper snuggle with you or Frankie last night?

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · September 03, 2024, 08:38:10 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend! Christy is finishing her breakfast and then will hit the shower. Both doggies have been taken care off. Cooper didn't snuggle with me but he probably did with Frankie. She chose not to spend the night here so we didn't have him either. She made an extended stop on her way to work to say her good byes to Christy because she's leaving sometime this afternoon. I'm going to miss her like crazy! I sure wish she lived down the street.

I have a bunch of birthdays coming up on the 9th and 10th of this month....2 on each day and then 2 later in the month. I celebrated with Christy while she was here and 2 cards are on the way to Oklahoma. And one will be delivered.

I guess I better get back to work. After Christy takes her shower we're heading for the Amish grocery store! She wants some stuff to take home and I need some stuff. Then she'll be on the way after lunch.

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow! Make it your own in every way and don't forget to tell us how you did that! We love sharing with you!

patricia19 · September 03, 2024, 12:56:20 PM

Good morning, 35 again this morning and only a few clouds. There's frost on the roofs again, and you can see the mist above the rivers, creeks and streams, So I have a feeling snow will come early this year.

Meet and greets ran long, one member fell and broke her arm yesterday and her son is flying up, he wants her to go back with him, but she doesn't want to leave.

I have some errands to do but the company I was expecting, had to cancel, so I may put it off until another day. I do have a package due today and another one on Saturday, plus a neighbor's I'm receiving then too.

My sister's leaving soon on the first leg of her trip along with two friends. I'd love to see the sites but wouldn't want the long car ride.

Amy, your quilt sounds wonderful. What type of border are you planning?

I saw Lloyd had posted on the Shoutbox on the 26th.

Jane, enjoy having family close.

JaneS · September 03, 2024, 09:39:59 PM

I'm all by myself again! Christy left about 2 p.m. and Frankie picked up Cooper a little after 3:30. The house felt empty...still does! But I got a text from Christy and she make back to maryland safely/1 I'm on my way to bed. My eyes don't want to stay open and Cooper will be here a bit before 7 tomorrow!

I hope you all have a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow! Make the day your own in every way and don't forget to let us know how you did that! We're always interested.

PATRICIA, I read your post and you are lucky to have your friends to communicate with every day! That must be neat! And it sounds like your sister is a TRAVELER!

Good Night Everyfriend!

RAMMEL · September 03, 2024, 10:41:46 PM

Goodnight anyone.

Amy · September 04, 2024, 06:58:14 AM

Good morning..

Jacket weather this morning starting out at 42°. Covered up the tender plants in the garden last night but don't think we had frost.

Another not sure day...may take a drive.

Jane, your home will seem empty for now.

Patricia, I am toying with ideas on the border and may chance the pattern somewhat....decisions decisions. I wanted a simple patern to just show off the fabric... now I am not so sure?

Rick, it was a good night,slept sound till morning.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · September 04, 2024, 08:10:56 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend! And a special Good Morning AMY! I can't wait to see a picture of your newest quilt! I bet it's beautiful!

I'm up and about and Cooper is here, had his breakfast and went for a walk and now he's making himself at home on the couch! I have to watch hime because he likes to dig up the couch cover and stretch out on the plain couch and that's not allowed!

We had a cool start to our day, too. Not as cool as yours, AMY but it was down in the low 50s. I think Fall is upon us! I'll take Fall but I'm not ready for Winter!

I cleaned out the fridge and I', using our leftover hanburger and bows to make a casserole for dinner today. Still thinking what else to put in it. I'm thinking some veggies and maybe mushroom soup to bring it all together.

Have a good day today. Make it your own in every way and don't forget to tell us how you did that!

Good Morning RICK!

phyllis · September 04, 2024, 09:40:16 AM

Down in the 60s this morning. Feels wonderful.
David is not feeling well though he is better today. His doctor says he doesn't have covid but has a virus that is going around. He is wearing a mask and trying to stay away from me. So far I feel fine.

Take care, All.

patricia19 · September 04, 2024, 01:07:00 PM

Good morning, 47 this sunny morning with 90% humidity, my arthritis in my leg is letting me know it's not happy with that. I got bored with staying home yesterday and went roaming. I spent a little here and too much there, and had a very nice time visiting my friend who broke her arm.

Her son had called again and said they had set up a room for her and would feel better with her close. She told him she wasn't sure why they wanted her in a tornado zone, and said she'd feel better if they moved in with her. Checkmate.

Our fall is a bit further along. We have frost on the rooftops, morning mist over the various waterways, and the leaves are showing bits of yellow and red. And the ravens have been back a couple of weeks now. I don't believe the snow is going to wait until Halloween.

I found another wide mouth jar, this one a 3.7 liter, lidded Mason brand canister. So, now I have that and a Ball brand 9 cup wide mouth jar, velvet flowers, dried pampas grass and eucalyptus ready for me to put them together. It's how to put them together that has me stymied.

Jane, my sister, has always been creative and always had itchy feet. She also owned her own businesses until the last when she worked in a hospital business office. Earlier this year, she was making wooden fish and decorating them with shells, small stones and paint. When she was sixteen, she bought a small red Chevy Luv truck and upholstered the inside in red gingham. And I cannot figure out how to style a simple flower vase.

Phyllis, I'm sorry that David has been ill. And glad that you feel fine. We've been in the mid-sixties for highs, but that might change mid-month.

Amy, your quilt sounds wonderful, and It must be so interesting to look at all the different ideas to use. I'm definitely interested in how you decide to go.

Remember James Darren, former teen idol and Ryan O'Neal? they both died last week.

Amy · September 05, 2024, 06:43:59 AM

Good morning...

Nice cool weather to stat with then heading to the high 70's.

We took off on the road trip yesterday, really enjoyed our time away. Noticed that their leaves are turning faster than ours!

Today IS work around home..

Patricia, way to go on your finds for the jars! I must say I don't blame your friend, I also think she has the better idea/

Phyllis, I have heard of others here that have had that virus and it knocks the socks off of one. Tell David to take it easy.

Jane,I agree,fall is here. Parts of the garden are dying off,leaves are turning and birds are flocking up to head south. Swallows have already left .

Rick , is your chipmunk still coming for his treats?

Better get the day started.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · September 05, 2024, 06:50:54 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend! I was so tired last night that I walked right past the office door and into the bedroom! I'm up and ready to meet the day today. Frankie has the dy off so I won't have Cooper today! Everything changes when he doesn't come. however, I do have some chores planned but I can change my plans any time today! We shall see!

PATRICIA, I'm definitely NOT ready for Winter. Please keep it up there where it belongs!

AMY, you can keep the cold on your side of the border also. I'll take Fall and if I had my way, it could stick around until Spring!

I hope you all have a good day today and don't do what I did last night. Please stop by and let us know what your up to. And whatever it is, have fun doing it!

Quote from: Amy on September 05, 2024, 06:43:59 AMRick , is your chipmunk still coming for his treats?

Haven't seen him lately. But I also haven't been sitting out there waiting. I've noticed a few areas where he must have a safe hole to dive into.

Amy · September 05, 2024, 10:35:26 AM

Rick ,some of the crows I feed have moved on. Only Larry,Curly ,Moe are here now, not the other 10. Drop wing didn't show up this year, now when I watch the geese on the neighbours lawn I see gimpy goose.

JaneS · September 05, 2024, 02:24:32 PM

HAPPY THURSDAY, EVERYFRIEND!!!

patricia19 · September 05, 2024, 02:30:02 PM

Good morning, 50 degrees and a drop from 90% to 64% humidity, which my leg had already demonstrated. The bird sanctuary has emptied, even the Sandhill Cranes have left, usually the last to leave.

I always wondered why they would practice forming those large groups and fly about all day, but only actually migrate south in the evening.

Of the thousands of birds that migrate each year, only the geese and the cranes are so noisy and their flocks so huge, numbering in thousands. I miss when I lived close and could spend hours and days wandering the public area trails.

Amy, her son, is still coming up here for a check in and another attempt at having her move back south with him. I agree, I wouldn't want to live in a tornado area either.

Today, I'm hoping to get to several small tasks that I've been putting off and next week, hoping to accomplish a few larger ones. It appears that I need a day of rest sandwiched between bursts of energy when only a few years ago, I would breeze through it all in one day.

Jane, I don't want winter either, but that cold weather kills off multiple little nasties that might migrate from the lower 48, such as fleas, cockroaches, fire ants, poison ivy and oak, snakes etc. Plus, rabies is very rarely seen this far north.

Rick, when I was younger, it was common to see more birds, squirrels, porcupines, Snowshoe hares and even Lynx in town. As we've grown, they've moved out or at least hidden in smaller numbers. We do have a citywide population of about 200 moose with a few bears around the suburbs, In the University area, are reindeer, muskox and wood bison.

Few people know that the reindeer and the caribou are the same animal. The distinction is that the reindeer are domesticated. Although each year some reindeer will run off, joining some caribou herds as they move through.

Jane, and a happy Thursday to you and everyone as well!

CallieOK · September 05, 2024, 03:46:44 PM

Good Afternoon,

I've filled the hummingbird feeder for the last time this year. Usually, we have them migrating through until October but paper said they're migrating early this year. Haven't seen or heard any Canada geese --- yet.

Accomplishment for today has been cleaning out files and shredding very old papers - 3 big grocery sacks full!!!!! Fortunately, we can staple bags shut and put them in the recycle bin. It's picked up every other week and next week is the time.

It's cool enough to have had the patio door open all morning. Nice to have the fresh air but afternoons warm up and a/c has come on. So I will close the door and be a Recliner Radish (cousin of a Couch Potato ) to read one of the 3 e-books I have checked out.

Hope Everyfriend is Enjoying The Day.

RAMMEL · September 05, 2024, 06:10:23 PM

Paper shreds --- thanks for the reminder. Have two "Contractor Bags" full of shredded stuff. We have to take it to our local Recycle Center.
