every once in awhile..ok..more often than that..i get a wild hair up my..well..i get the urge to hear something from long ago. and..a songs been abuzzin round in my head past couple days,sooooooooooooo.. did the old u tube thing and found..AND listened to it. the song? TIME HAS COME TODAY ...the group...THE CHAMBERS BROTHERS ...without a doubt the most underrated collective of talent from that era..maybe even spanning more than that era. though i am not up on todays music..i will go out on a limb and say i doubt if theres that much talent floating around out there as a gruop today. 5 guys..4 brothers in that and 1 ..who i believe they once called a cousin.. he'll be the white guy.
ok..think i'm crazy? go check them out for yourself,because maybe..just maybe TIME HAS COME TODAY.....(love peace and happiness) and..........
you pretend...and i will pretend too.

and...here i sit, sauce cooking.added the sausage and meatballs.and..and i dont know why,but they didnt turn out as good as i usually make. maybe because i didnt shake any parm into the mixture.whatever.. i will get a bunch of meals out of it all and will have it in the coming months once i freeze it. but tonight..ohhhhhhhhhhhh.. last night a guy i have known for years,and was in fact my equipment mechanic,and also consider a friend,called me..after not having spoken for a couple years.asked if i wanted any,and then brought to me some fried bass he had made..and a frozen venison steak and sausage. had some bass last night to sample,and told him i would eat them with eggs this morning.nothing better for a breakfast..trust me. but..i didnt. will reheat them and put them on a long roll tonight with tomat-ers (yes i know thats not how you spell it..so sue me) and cheese. better back off peoples or we're gonna fight over it all.
'tis a cloudy,rainy,drizzely foggy day here..(thats why i'm cooking) but through it all,the kaladiscope of colors on the hills and mountains is starting to form enmasse. reflected into the water too i might add.so looking at THAT ..does for you what doublemint gum would do for you.(that'l make your age show if you know it).
well..guess thats it..OH!!!!!!!!!!! WAIT!!!!!!!!!1 forgot(not really) today is the kids birthdays. cant believe 5 years ago there little munchkins were coming into this world..and i didnt even know,as i still had my last dog..clayon.. so..to celebrate tonight,as in the past years..they will get their own little bowls of ice cream.(just about the only time i ever buy it anymore..lol. dont even get that on my own...but then..others..and i ..never make a big thing of mine).
guess i'll go do the treadmill now in a little while..unless..you tell me i really dont need to! so......
you pretend..and i will pretend too.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUGGIE AND MOLLY!!!

well..that time of year again.got all my firewood stacked and tarped.already for the colder weather. warlocks dont scare me..." winter if you please",i heard someone say.
the yankees are again in the playoffs..(no comment about the bean town boys..hehe)
the geese are honking their way south.but a big problem now is..alot of them are year rounding it here on the lake.so different from when i bought my home way back when in '73. no geese then.
ok..on a personal thing..my brother visited me yesterday morning..i smelled his aftershave or whatever it was he used ,very strong here in my house.and it followed me from room to room.told him he was always welcome here..and i hoped he would come back whenever he had a mind to if he can..just not to scare the dogs as he seemed to have a little. funny thing..another family member 200 miles away experienced the same thing. anyway..since his visit my heart has been at peace.sure i still miss him..and sure i light a candle morning and evening but..the heaviness is gone.
well... guess this is where i will say...
if you pretend...then i will pretend too.

i thought...i have always thought that there would be one. one who would see..and read,without having to use the eyes. and to hear the words..the whispers.the screams..without the use of ears.
one who would appreciate the beauty of natures art,and was willing to share. and happily..and gratefully. and to share the share of one given.
in all my years..i have been wrong.
there isnt.
my heart is to sad to pretend ,so..must find a padlock.i will need it now.

losing my best friend

just over a week ago i got news that my best friend..my brother..not by blood,but by marriage(their marriage ended 20 years ago..but we have known each other since early teens),was rushed for emergency brain surgery.i had just spoken to him hours before. i didnt like the sound of what i had heard,and although everyone said to keep positive,i sensed something darker looming.he has been in a coma ever since.
yesterday..i was told that basically,its over.his boys have to make the decision of leaving him or helping him go,but either way hes going. its just how long it will take. so...... i am on the verge of losing another part of my life. he is the last constant link in my life. see..i have sisters and nieces and nephews but he is the one who came to visit with me at least once a season.sometimes more. that is until the last couple years when he had other medical problems. but..he called me everyday. we would talk sports..politics.. the downward trend of America..happenings here in my town and we would laugh..we would laugh and make fun of people or perdicments they were in and the funny thing people do..but mostly we made fun of and laughed at ourselves.always trying to "catch" the other in some sort of trick.
God , we have been through so much together. and,like i said before..outside of my parents,who died some years ago..he is the last link to things.and now he'll gone. i feel so alone now. i will have to buy a picture frame now,and place his picture on the "family" christmas tree...the tree of life as i also call it,along with pics of my parents,and the 2 dogs that had been apart of my life.
i really hesitated to write this..and really had to think about it.i mean... what the hell difference does it make to anyone here? no one knows me.no one wants to know me. and i feel quite the same. who cares? and thats cool..seeing as how so many phonies,fakes ,scammers have infested this..and other sites.but..maybe i really just did this for me..to put down something that i could read and see how i feel.
still..as i said..i will..and already do miss him. he never got to see the woodstove in action..he never got to see the christmas village i created in recent years. and now....
well..thats it. and sorry..i cant pretend with ya.
my tears are real.

hi BB .. well..guess you been gone just about 6 months now. hadent really thought of it..thought of you some,but...
anyway..there i am waiting online at the drive thru at the credit union..and our song came on.girl..my mind went racing back to waiting for you to get ready and hearing .." dont worry baby..everything will turn out alright" played over and over again on your stereo.
couldnt help but think of you in those peasant blouses..the loose sheer ones..and the wrap around skirts..or those kulats..i think you called them. and my smiles turned to something else.and my eyes started to wellup and when i pulled to the window and the girl asked how i was..i had all i could do to say "good" without breaking down. thank God for sunglasses and caps.even going into walmart after that..i had to stop and wipe my eyes a little.
you've stayed with me since then. i can still hear the hair spray can going..and can feel the round firmness of your..well.. you know. i can say that now and not feel like im..coveting(wow..theres a word from the old days,hunh?) another mans wife.now..you belong to the ages.
well BB..i guess i'll go now hope you look down and maybe smile a little.
oh..thanks for understanding way back then about all the groupies as they call them today.
well BB..maybe if just a little....
you pretend..and i will pretend too.

ok..i read profiles on here..and yes..i look at the pics too.hey!! im old..not dead! but it seems so many women are putting in their text that...."my friends say i am this" or " my friends say i am that". or my friends think i am.... i mean really..who cares what your friends think of you..what do YOU think of you? or..what do YOU have to say about yourselves?
i dont know..maybe i am just being to critical..or maybe..its the scammers putting out profiles looking to make more money. other things in profiles too. seems an over abundance of nurses on here..all ages ,but mostly youn. AND ..and sorry if this offends the real ones on here... but so many women under 40 who are widows. really? the wording is almost always the same in all these pros.
oops..sorry ..went off the deep end again..but then..THATS WHAT MY FRIENDS SAY ABOUT ME.. wait!! i dont have friends..hmmmmmmm ..maybe i dreamed all this. which leads me to my close of....
you pretend...and i will pretend too.

signs!!!!!!!!!!!

more and more signs foretelling of whats to come are starting to appear!! why..why,looking out the window i can see the mountains no longer have the deep green color of summer on them. the dark has faded to a lighter green.
and the bugs......the ones that come only at the ending of summer..the ones that remind me of how i hated to here them as a boy because i KNEW school would be starting in a few short weeks.(still shiver just thinking of that..my motto... i'd rather build a school than go to one...go figure)
and the sun seems to have said "enough of this" and has already changed its angle in the sky some. AND..ohhhh how early it sets now. seems like i am going out almost daily to change the timer on the flag light.
and when i walk in the early morning fog now hangs low on the dewy fields..they already having been hayed for the summer.
ohhhh..its comming. no stopping it. something else coming too..something that i keep hidden in the dark recesses of knowledge.not that anyone would take notice of anyway..will tell you bout it after the fact...maybe...if your nice.lol
yup-sters..wont be long now..the firewood will start arriving to be stacked for the winter.first fire of the fall will be lite..winter beadspreads will be changed with the summer ones.whiskey will replace the summer rum or beer.(wine being an all year thingy)
almost forgot..EGGPLANTS ..from the farm stand!! will be making my winter supply of eggplant parm and stuffed peppers . and speaking of veggies..first year of growing tomatoes again. just 3 plrants..potted..in angel court. much luck with them there.guess the dogs have scared the chippies and other animals away from eating them.only had 3 red so far,but am LOADED with them,so..they will all get used..even if i have to pick them green later and forced them to ripen..on my terms..lol.(sadistic? aint i?)
ok..kids are barking..i have things to do and nobody reads anyway..but..if....
you pretend..i will pretend too
