ANIMAL’S GREETINGS

Hello my friends

It’s sort of warm today.  Right now it’s 78 F
degrees and sunny.  There’s a slight chance
for rain later on this evening,  but it’s a very
slight chance LOL.  Milo is still not feeling
well.  We’re taking the poor little boy to the
vet this week.  Hopefully they can prescribe
something for him to get him back up to par.
He is 10 years old though.  The little guy in
human years according to breed is 56 years
old.  He’ll be 60 Oct 31 2015.  Yep,  he be a
Halloween dog hehehe.  I hope that he gets
well soon.  I miss his happy little face and his
brother Benny misses playing with him.  Yet,
we do know that dogs have a much shorter
lifespan than humans.  Still,  we want Milo
to be with us for a few more years.  They’re
our little boys 🙂  So,  what else is there to
tell ya.  Oh yea,  our grandson Christian and
granddaughter Rylee came and spent the
day with us Wednesday.  Her mom (Judy’s
oldest daughter Mandy) came and got her
that evening and Helena was supposed to
come and pick up Christian when she got
off work,  but hehehe she kind of forgot
and so we had Christian for the night.  We
had a good time watching videos and all
so it was all good.  Rylee will be 8 years
old this month and Christian is 13.  He’s
gone now to spend some time with his
other grandparents in southern Maine 🙂
He’ll be back soon 🙂  LOL we think he
comes here for the Internet hehehe.  He
hasn’t got any where he lives.  We love
those kids,  I can’t wait till Chance is able
to come and visit us.  Him and me met
back when I flew up to Maine to meet
Judy in person for the first time and we
connected.  It was like an instant bond 🙂
Judy and I were already in love and had
bonded.  Her family accepted me from
the get go.  It was like it was meant to
be.  Anyways,  onto another topic.  Well
this Saturday was the 4th of July and we
just sat inside as we heard the fireworks
going off in town 8 miles away hehehe.
Judy went over to her ex’s house to be
with her family.  Her daughters live with
him.  They had a cook out and a few of
them had water fights.  I stayed home
to keep an eye on Milo and yes of course
Benny stayed home too.  I stayed busy
working on Judy’s PC to get it fixed and
washed the dishes then I also carried my
conga drums outside and did a couple
of videos.  I left the front door opened so
that the boys could come out with me if
they wanted to.  Benny romped around
a bit and Milo wandered around a little
bit,  but he soon decided to go back in.
He sort of stumbled going up the steps,
but he made it.  Anyways,  Judy made
it home about 9 PM and we watched
some of our TV programs before Judy
began to nod off and so we headed off
to bed.  So This weekend wasn’t that
spectacular for me,  but it could of been
worse.  We are both hoping that the
vet can give Milo something to make
him feel better.  In any sense,  he’s in
God’s Hands.  Benny and Milo managed
to get in both of the videos that I did 🙂
The second show Milo headed back
inside and then turning around after
he got in and looking at me hehehehe.
I bought them some yogurt treats and
they both seem to love them.  I also
bought Milo 4 cans of Alpo being he
hasn’t wanted what I had been feeding
him.  He ate the Alpo and that made us
happy.  Hopefully he will be back to
his old self again soon.  I know,  I’ve
talked about him most of the journal 🙂
We love our boys <3  Yeppers,  they’re
the boys we couldn’t have 🙂  Now as
I look outside I see that the sun has
been hidden as a few clouds come
drifting by.  The next two days are
supposed to be in the lower 80’s,  but
after that back to the lower to upper
70’s .  So,  it’s not gonna be too bad.
Oh yea,  last Sunday being that I wrote
my journal and published it around
3 AM in the morning,  I wasn’t able to
send the beautiful pictures of the red
sky that was displayed about 4:30 that
morning,  so I’ll put them in this weeks
stationery for all those that are getting
this in the stationery format hehehe.
Christian was coming that day and I
didn’t want to be stuck writing the
whole time he was here as I was the
previous week LOL.  Also I’ll put a
picture in the stationery of Christian
Judy and I later that day.  There is
so much that I have to thank God for.
He’s blessed our home with love as
He had put this family together like
a puzzle.  We came together united.
Each piece just right.  Thank You
Lord God for all that You have done.
Thank You for protecting us from the
many disasters of life and giving us the
strength to endure what we must go
through.  Judy and I know that our
time is numbered and we have faith
that when our time in these bodies
has ended we will meet again up in
Heaven and be joined with Benny
and Milo.  My dog from my childhood
will be there waiting along side with
Benny and Milo.  We will be together
forever in peace with no sickness.
Our family and friends that have gone
on before us will be there awaiting
to greet us.  It will most surely be a
wonderful day.  Yet,  we thank You
God for the time that we have in the
here and now,  for there is much to
enjoy.  With our love for photography
we tend to find the beauty in many
places that others take for granted.
Look for the blessings.   They are
there and awaiting to be discovered.
Now I believe I have rambled quite
enough don’t ya think and it’s time
for me to be taking my little quest
back through all that I’ve written
here to see if I can find a good word
or phrase that I can use for the title
of today’s brand new poem.  So it’s
away I go to that little place of my
recollection that I always like to call
RECOLLECT VILLE.  Hmm,  it
looks like I may have found a decent
title and now after checking I see
that I have not used it as of yet,  but
used it shall be today.  Here goes 🙂

Many Disasters

As wars of time
display their goal
oh so many will
take a great toll.
Many disasters
will come into place,
but we should know
we’re saved by grace.
Our lives might find
a time so sad,
when we’re thinking
of things we had,
but life has good
that things can’t show,
for truth of time
makes blessings grow.
Many disasters
will find us at war
with our own choices
not better by far.
So think now of life
and freedom to live
and share your thoughts
what soldiers did give.
The past has a way
of fading away
when we’re forgetting
what wars did display.
With bullets flying
and many to die
many disasters
are peace you and I.
All of those soldiers
fought for USA
to give us the freedom
that lives on today.

OK,  there ya go.  I thought I should write
a Independence Day poem,  but then again
I already wrote one yesterday hehehehehe.
Now ya have two of em.  I hope you liked
the poem and maybe even the journal.  Yes
I know I tended to ramble quite a bit about
Milo,  but I am worried about him.  We can
tell that he doesn’t feel well,  by just looking
in his eyes.  Please Keep him in your prayers.
So,  what else is there to tell ya that I might
have forgotten?  Hmm,  Oh yea,  I took a few
screen shots of my video.  They have Benny
and Milo in them 🙂  So,  those of you that
are able will be able to see them.  They’re
not the greatest pictures,  but remember,
they’re screen captures off of the video 🙂
So,  I guess that’s about all about that and
now it’s time for me to tell you what I tell
you almost every week and that is I wrote
some more poems and haiku.  Yeppers,  10
more poems,  but none of them Christmas
related this week LOL.  One is like I said
earlier,  about the 4th of July.  I also wrote
22 more haiku for all of the haiku lovers
out there.  I hope you can find one or two
of either or both that you like.  Now it’s
near time for me to be searching for that
not so freaken illusive off switch,  but not
before I wish you all a most wonderful
weekend and belated 4th of July as well
as a blessings filled week.  Remember,
Jesus loves you and we do too.  Now to
find that confounded off switch that has
yet to of found a decent hiding spot LOL.
Hahahahaha I see ya you silly little thing.
Hiding in near the same spots that you
have hidden before is pretty much saying
ya wanna be caught,  but if ya don’t,  then
TRY HARDER next time will ya hehehe.
I see ya poking your head out from behind
that little monitor.  If you could manage
to not be poking your head out ever so
often,  I might not see ya and you might
stay hidden.   Maybe next time huh LOL.
Gotcha,  see ya CLICK zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

God bless from Bill,  Judy,  Benny and Milo Pearce

Now it’s on with the poems and haiku
10 and 22 hehehehehehehehehehehe 🙂

Beyond My Sight

Those sights unseen
that come and go
might be what’s found
with I don’t know.
Beyond my sight
there might just be
a soul of life
that I can’t see.
Within my gaze
of timeless true
a soul might be
with much to do.
The soul that’s there
might be a friend
that has passed on
around the bend.
For their own time
had come and gone
to Heaven above
to then live on.
Maybe an angel
or friend of mine
beyond my sight
of a different time.
The spirit world
holds many faces
with here and there
in many places.
Those in Heaven
might still visit true
as guiding friends
for me and you.

Beyond Our Illusions

The seconds and minutes
that gather in time
become as the moments
some bad,  some divine.
The hours collectively
joined in a day
are sometimes discerned as
a shadowy way.
Beyond our illusions
and signature trails
some might seem real
in all their details.
Within crazy dreams
of wantings gone wild
beyond our illusions
is sometimes denial.
With many viewpoints
finds many confusions
set in the storyline
beyond our illusions.

Vantage Point

Seasons of changes
become what we see,
found as a vantage point
our history.
With every turnstile
there’s something to find
within a vantage point,
it’s own design.
Sometimes our eyesight
is clouded array
beyond every vantage point
day after day.
Our daily viewing
might be down a slope
found in our vantage point
life’s telescope.
Sometimes the moments
are just but a time
within our vantage point
and its design.
So look now beyond
what times disappoint
and try to see hopeful
from your vantage point.

Lost In Mind

Amidst a time
of thinking realm
I’m lost in mind
with thought at helm.
Many patterns
thought so true
are lost in mind
with faded hue.
So many times
when past connects
and brings today
with its aspects
my lost in mind
becomes more clear
from now today
to yesteryear.
The future dates
bring their design
amidst my thoughts
of lost in mind.

Those Summer Rains

With steps of summer
walking through
the seasons bring
a life to view
Those summer rains
give life a chance
from clouds above
with song and dance.
Lightning striking
thunder sounds
those summer rains
make wet the grounds.
Scenes becoming
summer style
with ones swimming
all the while.
The warmest days
that ones complain
are found with peace
those summer rains.

Dissolving Shadows

Day by day
as time ticks on
memories
are never gone
Dissolving shadows
many try
when the past is
by and by.
Yet some shadows
still display
all our memories
day by day.
Life shows shadows
sometimes seen
as a nightmare,
maybe dream.
Today displays
a chance to change
dissolving shadows
good to gain.

Within The Darkness

The night brings sights
that eyes can’t view
within the darkness
there and to.
The darkened scenes
with stars of light
are often found
with faded sight.
A story written
in the skies
within the darkness
a surprise.
Some might fear for
what that’s hidden
within the darkness
starlight driven.
Even moonlight
shining bright
makes ones fearful
in the night.
Yet the night sky
that displays
has its magical
wonderful ways.
Filled with mysteries
to embark
the moon and stars
within the dark.

Always Wishing

Now might be
a saddened day
wishing for
another way,
but sometimes
those wishing wants
could just bring
a ton of taunts.
Always wishing
and not seeing
what that’s there
a moment fleeing,
might cause you
to lose a lot
always wishing
what should not.
Let the good times
find your gaze
no matter if
they’re smaller phase.
Let God’s blessings
to shine through
not always wishing
what’s not you.

Our Freedom Rings

To arms we came
with peace in mind
our freedom rings
what now we find.
The soldiers true
fought day and night
to give to us
a hopeful life.
Yet so many
turn away
from arms we came
to sad display.
We need remember
dead and gone
that fought for freedom
dusk to dawn.
Our freedom rings
for young and old
that lives on
as story’s told.
The feet that marched
into the war
our freedom rings
each shining star.

A Stargazers Tour

On to a journey
out through the stars
take a little tour
through Venus and Mars.
A stargazers tour
to wonderful worlds
way up in space
where starlight unfurls.
Scenes come alive
with twinkling lights
seen by a stargazer
deep in the nights.
A venture,  a path
that our skies unfold
a stargazers tour
seeks new stories told.
So many planets
that come to allure
are found so exciting
a stargazers tour.
Days seem as minutes,
then time standing still
a stargazers tour
seeks life to fulfill.
Searching the cosmos
to planets unknown
a stargazers tour
asks are we alone?

Haiku
for July 4,  2015

The oceans voices
speak out through the many waves
that sound like Heaven.

A rainstorms entrance
might show us many faces
deep within the clouds.

Unique are blessings
for we each have our own time
of which they will come.

A lonely lost soul
might lose focus on what’s good
and let life to die.

Allowing patterns
to exist in misery
could cause more trouble

Know your enemy,
but don’t let hate to evolve
into mere judgment.

Sometimes our lifestyles
become only a moment
that we’ve forgotten.

Meaningless chatter
only displays confusion
so take heed your words.

Deep within the night
a fear factor could explode
with only nightmares.

While in a moment
you might be filled with sorrow,
but God gives us peace.

Life in a nutshell
has many different styles
with some needing cracked.

Misleading people
will often make some errors
and expose themselves.

Deep in the ocean
lives the thoughts of sailing ships
that have met demise.

Countless are hours
that many will just worry
about the small things.

Various turnstiles
give their true meaning inside
and others will lie.

Allowing a storm
to live and breathe within you
might hurt ones you love.

Beyond what we see
there might be another life
existing like ours.

Borderline lifestyles
will walk the fence either way
maybe finding trouble.

Without any prayer
ones will most surely find doom,
so take time for prayer.

Lost in a moment,
a second of time might seem
like eternity.

While looking to space
the stars might seem to gossip
about existence.

Parallel time frames
might find us so different
with bad being good.
