Summertime Wanderings
When you have a blog, like this-here-thing, and you have a long period of time when thoughts just don't gel into a coherent and organized piece of work, otherwise known as an entry, you punt.
I've been outside a bit this morning taking photos of - what else? - the dogs:
another of the dog:
and, of course one more of - you guessed it...
...both of the dogs.
Then, earlier I had gone out because I faintly heard a little racket of noise going on outside and found this:
The wild turkeys, just exiting our garden and waddling back down the street.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Not much was going on out there. I sat on the porch for a bit, with and without the dogs next to me, and looked up and saw this:
Some interior tree views, first the large oak:
and then the pine next to the deck:
..the deck slats (could this get any more exciting?):
...and then back around to this - the most beautiful view of ALL outside, by far:
By this time it was getting warmer and warmer out there. I have had the AC on in the house most of the morning... we are not having a heat wave or anything but it's muggy and a bit too warm for me and I know for the dogs, too... so in we go again to cool down a bit. But it is a nice day here at Crow Cottage - about as nice a day as one could expect for an August the Twenty Seventh...
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
...which leads me to the subject of an entry I had in my head early this morning whilst still lying in bed half-asleep...
August 27, 2013, is the 49th anniversary of the day I met Gary, one of the loves of my life, one fine summer day in Marblehead - August 27, 1964 - the day, actually, I fell in love with him, too, because for me, it was love at first sight. So all I'll say about that subject here is Gary, I loved you then, I have loved you, in my own ways, for the rest of my life, and now that you are gone from this Earthly plane, I miss you and do not find it amusing that you found it necessary to up and die at such a young age! So this page is for you, Gary R... 49 years ago today we met... I wish you were still here...
Gary in the U.S. Navy:
Gary and me at my Senior Prom:
and finally, the last picture of him...
Notice his birthday was August 29th... on the day we met, he kept calling me "blondie" and telling me his birthday was in two days and asking what I was going to get him for a present... I never got him anything, but he had stolen my heart that first day and part of it has been his all these 49 years since...
So cheers for dogs, cheers for a green garden in August, and cheers for a man who meant more to me than he ever knew...
