Saturday 3/27/2010 Daffodils and a REALLY BIG Cup of Tea



I absolutely Love the last Saturday of the month!
For the past few years the last Saturday of the month equates to an 8am Coffee House rendezvous with my good friends! A few hours with them and it's like I have had my worn down batteries replaced/recharged. Dynamic people are good "food for the soul"!

Back on "the ranch" we needed a change of pace... so we hopped on our bikes, I grabbed the camera and we went for a ride in the cool spring air.
We ventured to an abandon farm where the house and barn had been burned/torn down.
A rich unknown history filled the air around us as we explored the scene. Nature had cycled back in as the primary occupant of the property... large old trees lined the sides of a long lane, daffodils smiled like miniature faces of sunshine everywhere, and a magnificent magnolia took center stage covered from top to bottom with large pink tulips!
Before leaving, we gathered a decent sized bouquet of floral-sunshine... which I have since placed on our home mantle...perfect.

They have seen so much throughout their lifetime... They have "been there and done that"... In my experience...people commonly have less "filtering" the older we get, becoming much more direct... open... straight to the point... I love this type of raw human nature...it is simply refreshing! The woman who interviews the "Centenarians" does a program for "National Public Radio (NPR)" and initially doesn't have much experience with the elderly. It is fun to watch her geriatric insight sprout and bloom paralleled with the "Centenarian" stories of the past and the present. My interest is further peaked by a reference book the author mentions, "A General Theory of Love". I plan to add it to my library list...it focuses on "the biological basis for human emotions...love". ...
