ANIMAL’S GREETINGS

Hello my friends

It’s a nice day today. Right now at 2:40 PM it’s 69 F degrees
and according to my weather program, it’s supposed to stay in
the 60’s for at least 9 more days. Tonight’s low is supposed to
be 38 F degrees. We took Milo back to the vet Saturday and
she didn’t even look in his ears, but just said he’s getting old.
Oh well, Milo can still hear a little bit if I raise my voice. I’ll
still continue putting ear cleaner in his ears. It can’t hurt. Heck,
it might even help. It reduces risk of infection, loosens wax
and debris, soothes with aloe vera and may reduce ear odor.
The ear cleaner antiseptic is for dogs and cats, so it’s all good.
Benny and Milo are lying on our bed watching cartoons. Right
now they’re watching Garfield LOL. They look so sweet just
lying there side by side. Milo has gone to sleep, but Benny
is still watching TV. Judy is doing her regular weekly thing.
She’s over at her sister’s house taking care of her mother
while Trudy goes to work. Yep, it’s pretty much the normal
for here nowadays hehehe. Benny stood with me at the door
as we watched Judy back out of the driveway and wave at
us :). We’ve been trying to make a point of taking them and
us for a walk out in the field at least 4 days a week. Benny
loves it. Milo on some days will often start chasing Benny
and he looks so cute with his ears flopping up and down.
Milo just woke up and came to tell me that he needs to go
potty, so I’ll be back. Ok, he’s done. Benny went outside
with him, but he preferred to stay outside for a bit and sit
on the porch. Milo is pretty much always ready to come
back in. He’s not much on staying outside. While we were
at the vet Saturday we had her clip their toe nails and give
Benny his distemper shot. Milo’s up to date on all his shots
until February. We finally finished trimming their hair up.
By wintertime it’ll be all grown out again being that they
don’t shed. OK, so Benny sheds a little, but Milo doesn’t
shed at all being he’s a Lhasa Apso. Judy’s started getting
her teeth worked on. The dental bill is high, but it’s worth
it to make her feel better about herself. I’ve gotta take
care of her and the boys. I love them bunches. Maybe one
day I’ll be able to get my dentures repaired, but that will
be maybe a long time down the road being that we’re not
made of money LOL. It would be nice if we could afford
dental insurance, but that’s life. We did fill out a form and
they accepted us to pay 20 percent of our bill leaving us
with 80 percent, though it would be a bit better if it had of
been visa versa LOL. Oh well, a little is better than not
at all. Last Monday we went over to Judy’s nieces house
for a cookout. A lot of the family was there. It was a nice
day. The rain held back until we were done and headed
home hehehe. There were a few there that took the ice
bucket challenge. One girl got the ice bucket challenge
when she wasn’t looking hehehe. Marissa got drenched.
We would of caught it on camera if Judy or I had been
facing that direction or better yet, known ahead of time
about it hehehe, but then that might of given Marissa
a clue and she would of maybe run for the hills LOL :).
Milo has figured out how to roll down the back window
in the car so he can look out hehehe. He does it every
once in a while when he wants to look outside. Sort of
like when we got home from the vet Saturday, Judy
stopped at the road in front of our house so I could go
and check the mail and when I came back to the car I
saw Milo with his little nose propped on the window just
watching me while Judy was laughing at him :). She said
when I got out of the car, he wanted to watch me and
so he hopped up to the window and hit the button rolling
down the window so he could see better. Our car has
tinted windows LOL. I just went to check on Benny and
he was ready to come back inside. Milo saw him walk
in and jumped off of our bed and came running. They
both followed me back in here wanting treats. I gave
the little quackers some duck jerky hehehe. Well it
looks like that satisfied them for a little while. Milo’s
now lying in the floor beside me and Benny headed off
to his lookout headquarters on the recliner in the living
room hehehe. There’s not much else going on around
here. It’s looking like summertime is on its last leg,
at least it does up here. Soon the snows will begin and
many will start bickering about it just as they do about
the heat. It seems mankind is never truly happy LOL.
There’s always something that will seem to rock the
boat. It’s when we finally accept things how they are
and look for the rainbows, that the other won’t look so
bad. BUT, we are all guilty of every once in a while
or for many, most of the time, looking and seeing but
only the bad times and complaining. Today why not
try looking passed the bad times and focus of the good
times. Of course we each have to acknowledge the
bad so we can attempt to correct it, if it’s possible, but
we need to learn to accept what we cannot change and
try to be happy. Let God help you with dealing with
all of the hard times and let Him walk with you in the
good times. Find strength through Jesus to help you
to make a better tomorrow and find the joy in today.
Sheesh hehehe, Milo is snoring BIG TIME. He’s
sleeping good now. He was having trouble getting
comfortable on the doggy mat bed so I went and got
one of their favorite doggy blankets and laid it on it
and that did the trick :). We love them little boys :).
Thank You God for allowing us to be joined together
as a family. I’ve had many dogs in the past and they
have been the best of friends and comfort. Their
loss of life is always saddening, but I firmly believe
that they go to Heaven just as we do and are waiting
for us with their tails wagging profusely. The love
never dies. So, I guess it’s time for me to begin my
little journey 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 for today’s brand new poem. So,
it’s away I go, to that place of my recollection that
I always like to call RECOLLECT VILLE. I think
I found a decent title that I haven’t already used,
so here I go. I hope it makes sense LOL.

Learn To Accept

When time is filled with
havoc and pain
learn to accept some
less to complain.
Sometimes our problems
are not all that bad
if we look backwards
at all that we’ve had.
Often our problems
are not changeable
or at least not by us
but others are able.
Learn some acceptance
of now and agin
with lessons you’ve learned
from where you have been.
Sometimes our problems
bring struggles inept,
so often it’s better
to learn to accept.

Ok, so there ya go. This might make more sense to a few
going to AA or NA. Yes I used to go many years ago. Yep
my sobriety date is June 11, 1990. It helped me to find my
footing without alcohol and just a few months later I was able
to quit smoking. Though after about 4 or 5 years I ceased
going to AA, I still have the lessons I learned. I found my
higher power in Jesus through His Father. I saw where He
had not forsaken me, but He was waiting for me to do all
that I needed to do to get me where I needed to be. Thank
You God for not giving up on me :). Yeppers, I had a lot
of Hell to go through to get me to where I was willing to
let go and let God. So before I begin rambling again LOL
I guess I need to tell you what I tell you every week and
that is, I wrote some more poems and haiku. Yeppers,
10 more poems with 3 of them being sort of Christmassy.
One of them is about my Paw Paw and I. We used to
spend many a night just fishing and floating in his boat
on Lake Tawakanii in Texas. Those were some great
times in my life that I’ll never forget. Grandmother and
Paw Paw were like second parents to me. Grandmother
is still alive. She’ll be 107 years old September 20th :).
She made the best fried apple pies YUMMY YUMMY.
Anyways, it seems I have strayed away from what I
was supposed to say hehehe. So, I’ve told you about
my poems, so I guess I’ll tell ya now that I once again
wrote 22 more haiku for all of my haiku lovers out there.
I hope you find one or two of either or both that you
like. I hope my rambling didn’t put ya to sleep hehehe.
So, now it’s time for me to be searching for that not
so elusive off switch, but not before I wish you a most
wonderful weekend and a truly blessings filled week.
Remember, Jesus loves you and we do too. Now to
find that not so great at hiding off switch hehehehehe.
Aw for Heaven’s sake, couldn’t ya at least of tried
to hide LOL. Standing right there in front of me with
a grimace on your face doesn’t constitute hiding LOL.
Gotcha, see ya CLICK zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

God bless from Bill and Judy Pearce
and also Benny and Milo 🙂

P.S. I also had a great birthday last Sunday.
Judy and I went to the Travelers Truckstop
when she got home and we pigged out 🙂
I had Haddock and Shrimp, YUMMY

Now on with the poems and haiku
10 and 22 hehehehehehehehehe 🙂

When Then Arrives

Often so many
will say now and then
to wait until sometime
seems better for them.
Then they discover
that then is in place
the right time so clearly
was found face to face.
Yet when then arrives
the waiting game finds
so many indecisive
seen throughout their lives.
For when then arrives
it might be the time
to let God to guide you
with His love Divine.
Allowing His blessings
to live and breathe true
when then arrives then
found within you.

Links Of Chains

Our connections
you and me
are found throughout
times history.
Links of chains
might need some oil
as minds together
of distant soil.
Rusty thinking
thereunto
links of chains
might go askew.
Leaving tread marks
in the sand
while connecting
where they stand.
Links of chains
of many souls
often shatter
others goals.
Don’t let links
to rust and break
and find you stood
in life’s Earthquake.

When Winter Begins

Minutes tick on
to autumns end
then there’s winter
around the bend.
A few snowflakes,
then some more
when winter begins
to let them soar.
The season brings
some cold and white
when winter begins
each day and night.
Many people
hate the season
with pure coldness
as the reason.
But so many
fail to see
Christmas comes for
you and me.
Fluffy snowflakes
then are found
landing softly
on the ground.
Painting blessings
in the snow
when winter begins
found to and fro.

A Saddened Smile

A persons face
not true to see
a saddened smile
might surely be.
Found as empty
sort of style
many have a
saddened smile.
Yet some people
have no choice
a saddened smile
is their true voice.
But so many
simply show
a saddened smile
as all the know.
It’s what’s behind
that saddened smile
that describes
what times compile.
If you have some
hidden pain
find a smile
of joy to gain.
See the blessings
all the while
to help to lose
your saddened smile.
We all have sadness
surely true,
but there’s goodness
yet to view.
A saddened smile
of days gone by
can be happy
if you try.
Let God help you
find a smile
of a much more
joyful style.

A Night On The lake

The younger of years
with Paw Paw and I
a night on the lake
brought moonlight to shine.
Our own reflections
as ripples delight
a night on the lake
was found in moonlight.
Him and I fishing
as waves lapped our boat
we continued fishing
while safely afloat.
The night air was sweet
as breezes blew in
a night on the lake
with my very best friend.
Him and I together
would look up and gaze
a night on the lake
on those sweet summer days.
My Paw Paw and I
went many a time
to fish on the lake
which seemed so sublime.
We had not a worry
with morning to make
as him and I fished on
a night on the lake

I Love you Paw Paw and I miss you.
We’ll fish again in Heaven.

A Time For Healing

When things are bad
and there’s no smile
a time for healing
needs compile.
Let your heartaches
find some peace
as your bad times
find release.
A time for healing
comes in place
with God’s blessings
through His Grace.
Don’t let sadness
become you
a time for healing
needs your view.
Find through Jesus
hope to gain
a time for healing
to attain.
Then let Him to
fill your heart
with His blessings
to impart.
Let His love to
help you view
a time for healing
thereunto.

Wings

The flight of birds
up overhead
spread their winds
so fast they sped.
Flying on
their wings design
headed to
their place in time.
Wings of feathers
wind beneath
fly so fast
they’re there so brief.
Headed onwards
to their home
or temporary
place to roam.
Then those wings
will fly them back
with a chirp
or maybe quack.
South and north
they fly each year
as seasons change
how they appear.
Wings return
when winters gone
found to see
a spring days dawn.

In Winters Wake

The weather changes
hot to cold
in winters wake
as it grabs hold.
Oh so chilly
each day seems
found within
our Christmas dreams.
Yet a fire
warms the bones
in winters wake
as fall’s dethroned.
Scattered snowflakes
fall and land
in winters wake
where many stand.
Christmas moments
come alive
where a snowman
does arrive.
Lights so pretty
fill the view
in winters wake
red, green and blue.
Many colors
ones partake
with Christmastime
in winters wake.

A Hidden World

A winter scene
that times unfurled
might disclose
a hidden world.
A magical place
where life collides
a winter scene
with snowy rides
A Christmas moment
surely seen
a hidden world
as many dream.
Times remembered
of a place
a hidden world
with a smiling face.
Those memories
inside your mind
a hidden world
will surely find.
Childhood days
that you recall
a hidden world
with a bouncy ball.
So now remember
oh so sweet
a hidden world
that times accrete.
Gathered by
your memories
a hidden world
of deep blue seas.
All those times
that brought a smile
the hidden world
will help awhile.
Yet don’t live
always unfurled
deep within
a hidden world.
For right now
needs you so true
to do the things
you need to do.
Find that Christmas
in your heart
and make today’s
a work of art.
Christmas blessings
live and breathe
if you’ll only
just believe.
Don’t let doubt to
drowned your soul
a hidden world
shows Christmas gold.
A hidden world
of you and me
needs uncovered
then to see.
Allowing Christmas
then to grow
maybe with
some Christmas snow.

Deep Blue Seas

While waves are crashing
on our shores
we often hear some
past folklores.
With deep blue seas
of days gone by
our lives move on
until we die.
Our hearts find moments
echoing true
some deep blue seas
of me and you.
Our own shadows
times record
deep blue seas
of just reward.
Yet we often
do not claim
the deep blue seas
we did attain.
Sometimes journeys
far and wide
leave us empty
deep inside.
Then those times
of deep blue seas
truly show
what time agrees.
It’s those moments
that we need
to begin agin
with planted seed.
Changing daily
with each choice
with deep blue seas
of better voice.

Haiku
for Sept 6, 2014

In but a moment
our lives will display shadows
of our yesteryears.

Todays choices
are often just disasters
needing rethinking.

As many move on
parts of them get left behind
in others lifestyles.

Many leave their lies
as the only information
about who they are.

Looks from another
usually say a lot
without any words.

Our own emotions
tend to lie from time to time
causing us much grief.

A page in our life
contains many of our thoughts
that many misread.

Discipline from God
might seem to be tremendous,
but we are much worse.

Living in the past
could prevent you from growing,
so live in today.

Without yesterday
today has nary a chance,
for lessons are learned.

Seasonal thinking
creates today’s excitement
for what that’s to come.

Autumn leaves will fall
when wintertime comes knocking
and snow starts to fall.

As rivers will flow,
so will the lives of many
maybe changing course.

Looking for flowers
might expose quite a few weeds
that look like flowers.

Expecting good deeds
could find you just awaiting
for good in return.

Beyond our eyesight
are things we might hear and smell
and know much better.

Minutes tick onwards
as days and weeks pass us by
leaving our shadows.

Nows after affects
will sometimes seem quite awkward,
but maybe be right.

Our doors and windows
open and close with new things
to see and to do.

A dogs forgiveness
is greater than that of ours.
It carries no grudge.

Taking precautions
might become our own hindrance
preparing to much.

Love in its fabric
is sown together in time
with threads of Jesus.
