ANIMAL’S GREETINGS
Hello my friends
How’s the weather down your ways? It’s been a little
warm up here, but not intolerable. It got a bit warm
Saturday and I soaked a couple of rags up with ice cold
water out of the faucet and laid them on Benny and he
loved that. It cooled him down. Later, he was ready
to play LOL. The temperatures for today and the rest
of the week are supposed to be in the lower to mid 70’s.
Yesterday it got up to 83F degrees which is warm for
up here especially being all we have is fans. Yea, that
ain’t bad. I thank God that we have some good breezes
on top of this hill. Right now at 12 o’clock noon it’s 69F
degrees and there’s a great breeze blowing in. Judy and
I went to the lake Thursday for a little get together with
the family. It was Benny’s first time seeing that much
water, at least up here. I don’t know what or how much
he saw at the lady’s house in Missouri that sold him to us.
In any case, Benny had fun. We took him down to the
little dock and let him get up close to the water, but he
didn’t want to get in it LOL. Last Monday July 2nd was
Judy’s twin sister Trudy and her husband Dennis’s 11
year wedding anniversary. Hehehe they were married
the same year as us and on the 2nd of the month, just 3
months before us. We were married on October 2nd 🙂
Cool huh! Well there isn’t much else that has happened
up this way. We’re still playing on our Farmtowns in
FaceBook and guess what, they added 25 more levels
as well as another farm, so Judy and I are both now
at level 360 and have 15 farms hehehe. Yeppers we
both had acquired so many points that when they did
finally add new levels we had enough points that put
us at the final level AGAIN. LOL oh well, it keeps
us entertained. Life in the fast lane hehehehehe yea.
I just heard Judy stirring about in the bedroom hehe.
She’s alive! I told her I let Benny out a few hours
ago and was going to leave him out there for a little
while longer being it’s such a pretty day. Surely he
would rather be outside than cooped up in here with
us old folks. Yea, I know, he loves being around
us and all, but it’s such a beautiful day outside and
it would be a pity to stay inside and miss it all. Judy
and I most surely will go outside and join him in a
little while. Yet, being that we don’t actually go to
bed until around 3 or 4 AM, we don’t begin stirring
about until the evening LOL. Yeppers we be night
owls. Benny’s turned into a night owl as well hehe.
Speaking of Benny, Judy was doing dishes and he
heard her and made a mad dash for the front door
and Judy went ahead and let him in. He just ran
in here to pounce on me LOL. He’s happy. Now
he’s headed back into the kitchen to watch Judy
wash dishes. He usually camps in the kitchen floor
when I’m doing dishes or cooking hehe. He loves
to sit and watch. I hear Judy in there playing with
him on the bed now LOL. Now they’ve both come
in here. Benny’s grabbing a drink of water 🙂 He’s
so cute. So I guess it’s onwards with the journal.
It’s now 70f degrees at 12:30 PM. Not too shabby!
I worked on our car the other day and replaced
the air filter and spark plugs and noticed that the
morons that put the spark plugs in it back a year
or so ago when the car conked out in Caribou
did not tighten the plugs and that was the reason
the car had begun to smoke. It don’t smoke no
more and it runs like a top. Maybe it will last us
a another year or so, God willing. God’s been
good to us. He has made sure that we have what
we need and even given us a few things to make
our lives more pleasurable. Yet, I believe Benny
was one of the things that we were needing in our
lives. He has definitely brought us joy. He sort
of reminds me of my first dog from when I was
a kid. She was my best friend and always there
to cheer me up. I still to this day think of her.
Often we will overlook many gifts from God
because we have gotten so used to the moments.
Look now and see how blessed you are for the
things God has given you. You might just be
surprised to find out how much you have missed,
due to not seeing. Let God’s blessings be the
shadows in your life that display joy. Don’t let
sadness of a loss to envelop you and keep you
from finding blessings in now and the future.
Heaven is where we will reunite with loved ones
that have gone before us. Death is not the end,
but the beginning of yet another realm of life.
Now I think it’s time for me to begin my little
quest for a word or phrase that I can use for
the title for today’s brand new poem. So it’s off
I go back through all I’ve written here through
my recollection to that place that I like to call
RECOLLECT VILLE. I believe I may have
stumbled on a good title, but time will tell LOL.
Here goes nothing hehehe and maybe so 🙂
Maybe It Will
When found in wonder
your time’s might conceal
things that you thought might
not be so real.
Maybe a moment
found that you’ve seen
might be much more than
just a mere dream.
Times that God’s given
in your days affairs
might turn out to be
your answers to prayers.
Often our troublesome
scenes found each day
could be mistaken
in every which way.
Then might be lessons
with Lord God’s appeal
the same as right now
yes maybe it will.
It might be the settings
for new days to come
finding God’s blessings
with each setting sun.

I hope you enjoyed my rambling and I didn’t bore ya
too terribly much 🙂 Also I hope you liked the poem.
Hopefully you understood it. If not, oh well hehehe!
Well Judy and Benny are both in here . Benny’s laying
in his little doggie bed beside me. He loves to be near
us for some reason hehehe. Judy’s playing with her
farm in FarmTown hehehe. Actually she’s working on
other peoples facilities right now trying to rack up more
points LOL. I want to give a prayer to my neighbor
that lost his dad the other day. It’s never easy to lose
a loved one, but as I said before, death of our Earthly
bodies is not the end, but the beginning of another life.
If you ever need to talk, come on over dude. Well
with that said, 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 one of them
being yet another Christmas poem hehehehehe. Also
I wrote 22 more haiku for all of my haiku lovers out
there. Judy said she’s gonna make us pancakes for
breakfast. Yummy yum yum hehe. Now, let’s see if
I can finish this journal before she gets done cooking.
It’s time for me to begin searching for that confounded
off switch, but not before I wish you a most joyful and
God filled week. Remember, Jesus loves you and we
do too. Now to find that off switch that loves to play
hide and seek hehehe. Found it hiding behind the
curtains catching a breeze 🙂 hehehehehehehehehe.
Gotcha, see ya CLICK zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
God bless from Bill and Judy Pearce
Now on with the poems and haiku
10 and 22 hehehehehehehehehehe 🙂
Clocks of Time
The seasons change
leaving scenes
sometimes found
within our dreams.
Clocks of time
within our view
change each day
with thereunto.
New days dawning
come to play
bringing seasons
to display.
Time is counted
ticking done
with the sight
of each new sun.
The seasons change
with every glimpse
sometimes found
as our past tense.

Timid Doorways
Timeless echoes
we’ve walked through
might be found as
not so true.
Timid doorways
might look good,
but they might be
misunderstood.
Waves of echoes
we perceive
might be doorways
troubles weave.
Timid doorways
found in frame
might need left
from where you came.
Timid people
that walk through
might just find
a troubled view.

Soon
The sun’s setting
in reply
leaving us a
darkened sky.
Soon the moonlight
that we see
will be seen
so fancy free.
Yet now sunlight
is in view
with a glimpse
of faded hue.
Soon the shadows
in my sight
will be only
dark of night.
With remembrance
of the day
that will soon
again display.

Painted Blessings
Moments blessings
painted grand
are of God’s Own
painted hand.
Painted blessings
set on stage
seem to turn
with page to page.
Stages set
with painted dreams
as a blessings
running streams.
Painted blessings
find their way
to be found in
day to day.
Sometimes we just
overlook
painted blessings
opened book.

Find Your Path
Often journeys
that we find
are of our own
wanted mind.
Wanting many
things we see
through our journeys
history.
Sometimes journeys
end in pain,
because all that
was insane.
Let your journeys
not mislead
from what all
you really need.
Let God help you
find your path
filled with lessons
aftermath.

Don’t Let Doorways
Doorways open,
doorways close
with the choices
that we chose.
Windows seeming
oh so clear,
might be filled with
pain and fear.
Doorways open
with a chance
either good
or song and dance.
Search the truth
in doors you find
and then choose
with clearer mind.
Don’t let doorways
suck you in
leading you
to days of sin.

A Sky of Gray
With my glance
at skies above
I see God
and all His Love.
A sky of gray
that turns pure white
with each change
within my sight.
Every flavor
that is found
makes its shadows
on the ground.
A sky of gray
with many changes
as it somehow
rearranges.
I watch and wait
most every day
for a glimpse
a sky of gray.

Seeking Christmas
While the weather
in July
brings us heat
to its reply
I’m found seeking
Christmas sights
in my dreams
throughout the nights.
Seeking Santa
and his sleigh
to be found then
on his way.
Seeking Christmas
in July
now brings hope
to get me by.
While the weather
comes and goes
I seek Christmas
winters snows.

Leaves Are Found
The leaves are blowing
with each wave
of the breezes
in the days.
The sounds are heard
as breezes blow
sometimes as
they seem to grow.
Blowing briskly
on our hill
like they do
and always will.
The stage is set
for more to come
as a sort of
beating drum.
The leaves are found
just rustling through
with the wind
and wondrous view.

Pointing At Someone
Pointing at
someone with flaws
might just show
your worthless cause.
For you may not
know what’s true
in the persons
daily view.
So don’t quickly
point away
at the ones
from day to day.
You might falter
in your sight
and not see
what’s really right.
Pointing at
someone you see
might reflect
a slight degree.

Haiku
for July 7, 2012
Simplistic people
sometimes fail to see the truth
due to ignorance.
Mornings arrival
brings views to be discovered
with a single glance.
A moments burdens
can be resolved with God’s help
if you will just pray.
Looking for trouble
might find more than you wanted,
so wise up and quit.
The window with screen
allows many views within,
but keeps out the bugs.
Life is a journey
made with one step at a time
filled with mysteries.
Anybody can think,
but it takes a wise person
to learn from the thoughts.
So many roses
blossom while hidden from view,
but they do not care.
With mornings sunlight
comes a glimmer of the day
with its emotions.
Many seek Christmas
because what they see right now
is just emptiness.
Often our burdens
are found in many shadows
that do not exist.
Blessings uncovered
might turn into our nightmares
if not treated right.
Flustered and frightened
could come from just not knowing
and fearing just that.
So many ventures
begin with a direction
sometimes set wrongly.
Placing a marker
on the mistakes that you’ve made
could cause you despair.
Learning from mistakes,
means use the many lessons,
but don’t dwell on them.
Beyond perception
is a sight that many see
that might seem confused.
To find who you are
needs you to find your shadow
and see where it lies.
Flavors of dewdrops
sparkle in the dawn of day
as time moves along.
Wisdom is gathered
through the lessons we’ve perceived
and how we use them.
Yesterdays burdens
are just baggage to carry.
Learn what to carry.
Temporary sights
come and go with the blessings
found each day and night.
