March 27, 2014 Grandmothers
My oldest daughter, Amber emailed me after we took photos of her two children yesterday. Today is the birthday of this little red head's daddy. Happy Birthday, Ryan!

Perpetual Sunshine
Today the wind was blowing like crazy and big black clouds topped the mountains and made life in Las Vegas valley look a whole lot more interesting. My sister Mary always makes fun of me when I take photos of clouds and flowers. (I can't blame her since I do have a propensity for both.) She could understand the flower photos but not the clouds. When you live in the land of Perpetual Sunshine it is always good to shake things up with a few clouds and in southern Nevada we just don't get them often enough. But how can you complain when you live in Sunny Dale USA when the rest of the known world is under several feet of snow and ice? You simply enjoy the storms when they come and work on your tan the rest of the year. What a life! It is easy to have a positive outlook when things are always on the bright side!
Tomorrow I will post a photo I took today at Seastrand Park a couple of blocks from our home. Right now, I can't figure out how to load it from my iPad. Still in the learning mode obviously!
Thought for the day:
The story is told of an itinerant ranch hand who applied for work and offered as recommendation only his own statement: "I can sleep when the wind blows." On the surface, it seems a strange kind of remark; but the ranch owner needed help badly and he hired the man. A few nights afterward a terrific storm swept across the prairie. The owner, awakened by it, hastened out to help the new hand. He found the windmill set to ride the storm; he found the gates all lashed with extra rope, the canvas tied
securely over the stacks and staked down. The farmer, fighting his way in the storm, reached the bunkhouse and discovered his hired man sound asleep.

When the storms come, no matter how furiously they may beat upon your roof, if everything outside is secure, an indescribable peace will fill your heart. Can you sleep when the wind blows?

It's the little things in life most of the time...
"It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important."
Arthur Conan Doyle
This blog is intended to just capture the little things in life. I tend to think of things in terms of big, visionary endeavors and consequently I don't always give the little things the attention they deserve.
