They aren't keen on sunshine. Today was supposed to be up in the 50's. Maybe it got there between 1 and 1:15, but it was cold by 3 o'clock. I know spring will come but it won't be soon just because that animal didn't see its shadow.
On another subject entirely, I keep thinking about this poster.
I saw it in a window in Kentucky when I was down there. It's a simple message: buy your tickets for this special horse show, because you won't have another opportunity next year. Of course, I think of it a little more broadly. I liked it so well I asked Raja to get me a copy, and being a wonderful friend, she did. I know she thought this was just another example of what she sees as my pessimism. We've had a few discussions on the subject. I see myself as a thoughtful realist; she doesn't agree. I guess she thinks I wanted it because I don't think there will be a next year for me. Truth is, it reminds me to do things now, not postpone them. It's a good message.
Correction--I do think there will be a next year for you. The poster it's a good reminder to live in the moment, which I tend to do, in an optimistic way!

I recognize that cat in the window.... S/he's in one of my photos from a visit to RAJA, too. That cat has a tough life, keeping up with the hubbub on Georgetown's Main Street.

Hi Ruthe! I'm just catching up with my blogging friends. I see you're planning another trip to Japan? Hope to hear more about it soon. I'm sure you're excited about it.

Yes, that first excuse....reason is negative. The second is acceptable. Alice is back. :) There will be next years for all of us.....perhaps it's called "staying in the now."
