For Bella.......

A basket of flowers for my Bella girl. Sweet kitty, best friend of many, many, years.

accompanied by a beautiful poem that my brother sent to me via e-mail. Bella loved 

when he would stop in for a visit and enjoyed his company very much.

 

 

SHADOW'S SONG

I'm not gone...not really.

I haven't gone away...I've only gotten bigger.

My eyes, so bright, now shine among the stars.

 

My voice sings with the wind in winter, as I leap

And dance among the tree tops.

I stalk the blown leaves in autumn, and brush the

flowers gently in the spring.

I come to you in dreaming, on feet grown dreamtime soft,

And lay my cheek against yours, and whisper:

"Peace be with you."

Someday we will play again together, you and I, among the stars.

'Til then, fear not to love, for your love gave my life meaning.

And I return that love to you...a hundredfold...a thousandfold...

Forever.

In love............

I fell in "love", did I say in love? I was gifted a small "lot" of Alfred Mainzers post cards. Most of his work was created in the late 40's and early 50's. I can't get over these sweet little postcards. Printed in Belgium on linen ( I have a special place in my heart for anything printed on linen paper). The more you look at them, the more you discover.

Button Noser..........

Bella always finds the best spot. When all errands have been ran, the laundry is done, and the apartment is cleaned, (well somewhat anyway) the Christmas movies find their way to the dvd player...........and can I stretch out on the couch? I think not.
