ANIMAL’S GREETINGS
Hello my friends
I hope you had a nice weekend. Ours was
fairly nice. Anyways, more on that later,
but first to tell about our previous week 🙂
Judy and I went to town (Houlton) and did
a little grocery shopping Monday and then
Thursday Judy had an appointment with
her podiatrist/foot doctor. Being that Judy
is type 2 diabetic they keep an eye on her
feet. The week was with not much going
on. I mowed again hoping that with the
weather cooling down, I will not have to
mow much more this year. My old body
can’t take much more, but of course with
the cold weather coming it means that the
snow will soon make itself known LOL.
Oh well, with a little help from the snow
plows I think I’ll be OK using our snow
blowers. At least it won’t be hot outside.
There is a good chance it’ll be freezing,
but I can handle that. The only thing is
our light bill goes up considerably with
heating the house and often having to
run the hot and cold water at a dribble
to keep it from freezing. That keeps the
hot water heater working more than the
norm, but it’s better than having busted
pipes or no water. Most times though
I only have to dribble the water at night,
but there are many occasions that it gets
cold enough to freeze the pipes during the
day. That’s the price for living up here.
Of course I would literally die if I lived
down south where the temps stay often
in the 90s and 100s so I guess I’ll stay up
here 🙂 It got up to 79 F degrees today,
but it’s now lowered to 70 F at 7 PM.
Tomorrow it’s supposed to be a high of
67 F and then Tuesday’s a high of 65 F
and that’s not too shabby. Anyways,
yesterday which was Saturday, Judy
and I went to celebrate my birthday at
the Governor’s Restaurant in Presque
Isle. We do that every year. Yep I’m
68 now. Judy’s not far behind me LOL.
Anyways, we enjoyed the food and got
us a large Hot Fudge Sundae for dessert
and shared it. There was a whole lot of
ice cream and hot fudge. We were not
sure that we were going to be able to
finish it, but we did in time hehehehe.
Judy is over at her sister’s now visiting
with some of her cousins that came up.
They are all girls so I saw no reason for
me to go LOL. They’d be talking about
stuff that has nothing to do with me and
I have no knowledge of 🙂 So I stayed
home and mowed a bit more and then
tried to wash some dishes, but my legs
were giving out. Judy said she’d wash
the dishes when she got home, but I
don’t mind doing them except when I
am so exhausted I can barely stand up.
That is my predicament at the moment.
God is still watching over us and I’m
thankful for that. Without God, we
would not have a chance. We also feel
the presence or many angels and kindly
spirits as they watch over us and give us
a hand from time to time. We feel very
blessed to have one another. Our boy
Rocky has even been a blessing. That
boy followed me everywhere I went as
I mowed. I’d stop ever so often and
reach down and pet him and that made
him happy. Thank You Father God for
all that You do, for You know what
we need. I pray that you have God in
your life as well as spirits that He may
send you. May blessings fill you with
love and life. Amen. Now I believe it’s
time for me to be reading back over all
that I’ve written here to see if I can find
a decent word or phrase that I can use
for the title for 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. I think I found
me a title that I might be able to work
with and now after checking I see that
it has not been used yet, so here goes…
But of Course
Things we dream
might not be true
as the passageways
are not for you.
We might fantasize
a time and place
but of course then
it may a waste.
Let your mindset
to allow God in
and let Him help
with time and again.
Years might find
a troubling force
as God intervenes
but of course.

Well there ya go. I hope you liked the
poem and maybe even a little bit of my
rambling. Hopefully I did not bore you
to death LOL. Anyways, I feel I need
to tell you this, I stay depressed quite
a bit due to not having any friends or
any immediate family up here. It seems
no one wishes to be my friend up here.
Anyways, I will survive. I have Judy
and our boy/dog Rocky, but he’s getting
getting rickety in his old age and we may
lose him soon, but we always have the
memories.. So I guess I have nothing
else to tell you other than what I tell you
nearly ever week and that is, I wrote
some more poems and haiku. Yeppers,
10 more poems with 1 of them being a
little Christmassy. I also wrote 22 more
haiku for all the haiku lovers out there.
I hope you can find 1 or 2 of either or
both that you like. Now with that said
I reckon it’s time for me to begin my
search for that hardly elusive off switch,
but not before I wish you a blessings
filled week and a happy labor day :).
Now, where can that ornery off switch
be attempting to hide this time hehehe?
Hmmm, where oh where can that silly
thing be???? LOL now that was not
one of your better hiding spots LOL.
My salt shaker is almost empty and it
is also clear glass, so what made you
think I wouldn’t see ya? Sometimes
I think you wait till the last moment
and then hide behind whatever is near
ya LOL. Think in advanced next time.
Gotcha, see ya CLICK zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
God bless from Bill, Judy, Rocky
and spirits of Benny and Milo Pearce.

Laughing at The Birds
Living and breathing
the moments of time
laughs might avoid us
if we’re lost in mind.
Letting life’s sadness
to envelop our faces
as time might remind
of life’s distant places.
Becoming as echoes
of a loving memory
standing by the side
of the deep blue sea.
Look and remember
the scenes as words
and find some humor
laughing at the birds.

Water and Sky
Persevering windows
that come into view
may create and elate
the old and the new.
Becoming as pictures
that times entailed
as the windows of life
memories prevailed.
Remembering places
and all that was seen
as the water and sky
in a fantastic dream.
Life creates artwork
our memories reply
as heartbeats of love
with water and sky.

Haze of Sky
Some views we find
might seem to form
the colors of clouds
in moment reborn.
With hazy scenery
that once was blue
the clouds of white
are a different hue.
There may even be
some birds in flight
in the sky above
adding to the sight.
Transforming time
into a scenic stage
that comes in view
as a turn of a page.
The place may seem
to become so alive
as you look above
at the haze of sky.

Scented Daydreams
Reflecting on the past
as our heart excels
we might also find
dreams of many details.
Seen within shadows
of the days gone by
images might seem
as paintings in the sky.
Even the landmarks
of an autumn display
the colors might grow
into a dream’s array.
The aroma is spread
into the ages of scenes
as God’s blessings
in scented daydreams.

Reminders of Heart
Memories remembered
become like a flame
burning and churning
of times we attain.
Becoming the doorways
to a blessed array
found in the reflections
of a so distant day.
Moments unbounded
grandchildren impart
living and breathing
as reminders of heart.

Snowing December
Many might dream
of a time of old
snowing December
with stories told.
Christmas awaiting
to come in view
Scenes December
snow flakes accrue.
Gathering together
creating scenes
December’s snow
as magical dreams.
Acquiring blessings
we can remember
of the times of a
snowing December.

Future and Past
In time’s reflections
we might see a scene
found within waters
of a timeless dream.
The sky might display
clouds in the sight
seeming to become
some waters of white.
Sights like ripples
well hidden from view
creating visions of
the old and the new.
Becoming as artwork
shadows may cast
mimicking scenery
of a future and past.

Field of Yellow
The colors of hearts
might seem to dance
with life’s rhythms
of timeless romance.
A stage with grass
displayed with a view
bestowing like breezes
here thereunto.
As a moment of God
displayed with color
seen as the blessings
for us one another.
It becomes a moment
seeming so mellow
displayed with love
in a field of yellow.

Beyond What We See
Our own perception
might not be true,
for many things
may just be our view.
Clouds of hearts
that many may beat
might have rhythms
seeming to repeat.
Love in the making
needs God to reside
beyond what we see
living deep inside.

Shadow Art
The heart of a picture
might be in the frame
with the sun shadows
that moments reclaim.
Scenes within hearts
as a true breath of air
becoming paintings
with an evening’s flair.
Displaying what God
has given you and me
in an evening of time
oh so prayerfully free.
The moment awakens
for night to impart
portrayed as blessings
of living shadow art.

Haiku
for Aug 31, 2024
Many memories
can become as destruction
not letting things go.
Time can give a breath
that might seem as urgency,
but often it’s us.
When left in the rain
many things might not do well
so find some shelter.
Now may seem hopeless,
but hope lies in our tomorrows
if we do our best.
Seeking for a handle
to turn to let you walk in,
you might need to stop.
Efforts done sleepless
can become harmful to you,
so take time to rest.
Reading to yourself
you might not catch the mistakes,
but find them later.
Pouring out sadness
into a drunken moment
you’ll find more sadness.
Years are memories
that we’ve made and are making
so make them the best.
Thriving in a storm
might be a persons heartbeat
that has learned to grow.
Destinies we’re on
might turn out to be endless,
so prepare your stride.
Senseless is worry
when it only makes you sad,
but we all do it.
Minds might turn around
as we encounter pathways
that we know not of.
Today might be sad,
but with God things will improve
making us stronger.
Gazing at the moon
a dream might become a place
that lives within you.
Illusional moments
can often become surreal
creating memoirs.
Learning a lesson
needs you to be teachable
and willing to learn.
Fighting fire with fire
you might create more problems,
so find better pathways.
Yearning for true love
you’ll find many not so true,
so don’t hurry love.
Walking on train tracks
you must listen for the train,
or it might hit you.
Clouds that times expose
can often have some raindrops,
or just give a gaze.
The sand on a beach
is uncountable for us,
but God surely knows.
