Legends, Old Cedar Trees and Children

By Sharon
August 8, 2012

Let's talk a little about legends, lore and Nature. On good weather Sundays, late in the afternoon, you can find me wandering in the Land Between the Lakes here in western Kentucky. I have a friend who always goes with me; last week when she called she said, "Let's go visit the Cedar Tree."

I woke to sunshine and very little wind today, the temp should be around 40F.

I try to stay out of the wind since I never learned how to fly. Big Grin

Oh there is nothing to it, some day a gust might come which may lift you and deposit you some place else but these incidents and storms are normally at sea. On land there are more chances of a tin roof flying off and slicing a person in half. Saw a lot of filthy casualties in the 2005 Kashmir earthquake caused by these tin roofs. They were not normal injuries but something like battle injuries. My team of young doctors had their knees shaking, they had never seen this type of carnage. Well the kids managed with me stroking their fur to keep them calm. You want to see the best and the worst in human beings, go to a site like these. Out of proportion sacrifices and human greed,both at their best display.
Regards,
Arif.

They sure do and in the same ratio and proportion as you see in normal life.
I tip my hat to you. Good night Sharon, lets see if I have any more nightmares.

Smiling I have been saying that long enough to a long line of kids. With you smiling and saying so makes me feel like one all over again. How was your day, a wonderful sun shiny day, warm and toasty?
Regards,
Arif.

Now I'm really laughing.
I looked outside just a few minutes ago. It looked light, but I didn't think it could be the moon.
Snow!!! There is a very light layer of snow all over my deck and yard. Funny that, because 2 days ago it was 70 degrees and I was trying to stay upright in horrendous winds with the threat of tornadoes flying all around. Then yesterday it was merely windy, this morning was cool but sunny and tonight there is snow. There's never a dull moment around here. And since I can't do a thing about it, I might as well laugh.

Never boring around here!!

Good Morning, Arif!
I hope your day is beautiful.
