Doesn't look like much,
I know.
See, my puppy has developed a celebration all his own.
He grabs greenery 
then waves it,
prancing
and leaping
and zooming
all over the yard.

I decided to place yesterday's offerings 
on the white plastic chair 
that sits on the studio porch . . . 
"the artist - who isn't"
was too grumpy to look at the gift - 
BUT, this morning, on the way home from chores,
I decided to take out the teeny camera
and share with you.

Maybe next time
I'll capture a photo of a fresh wreath . . 
Or
even better
capture the 
celebrant pupster
in action.

"My" Post Office.
It looks like a "real post office."
Golly, I enjoy stopping by,
using the little key to open the box
where I find my mail . . . 

I like the way it looks and feels inside.

I prefer to arrive early,
unless I need help from a postal clerk.
(I REALLY LIKE the people who serve here . . . just sayin' . . . )
THEN
I walk a couple of blocks
to my favorite coffee shop.

The coffee is fresh ground
and
really good,
They offer a lot of terrific stuff
But,
I order a latte.
To be exact, I always order "Olympic Pool Size Latte."
They don't offer Olympic pool size,
no one does.
They always smile.
I get a 16 0z.
with the lid off
because they make 
Wonderful Foam Art
on top.

They share space with a bakery:

If you are ever in Maplewood,
you might want to stop in.

The weather has changed.
It's kinder.
We took a nice walk
AND
We'll enjoy another today
but, a little later.
We walked this morning 
when it was still
quite dark
But
that doesn't count
AND
even if it did, 
We'd go out walking in some splendid park
During the day -
Because
We enjoy each other
and walking
and special places.

And
Because It's September.

I hope this encourages you as much as it does me . . .

Seems odd to me -
- the lady who posted several times most days -
that I need to remind myself to come share

No matter what
Do the things we are able to to
and 
allow everything to rearrange itself
for the days at hand - 
hm???

be your awesome self, please.

Someone gave me a small bog of caramel covered popcorn . . . 
It reminded me of
Screaming Yellow Zonkers!
Which was Awesome
and
Very Popular

In fact
People enjoyed
 Screaming Yellow Zonkers!
so much
There are pages letting us all know
It is not available . . . 
BUT,
We can all continue to hope.

giggle.

(yes, I might have been a little rude . . asking about the bag . . then explaining all about something AWESOME . . that does not exist.)

-and-
Do you remember
Pogens?

just asking.

Maybe not exactly the way my heart/faith works
but
it still seems good to me
