Remember there were people that shared on Facebook "The view through my window?"
Today I'm starting with the window. It opens out from there however!
Focused on the outside...
Focused on the inside...some of the treasures I keep on my desktop.. Now this is what a desktop is supposed to look like!!
The last of these blooms on the orchid – as there are some new buds appearing between the two! The red shamrock set them off so nicely, and supported them when the wind blew.
Next day (Monday I think) you can see The last of the flowers had fallen off their stem which is at the top of the picture with its new buds! I've never had summer orchids before...must be the heat.

For Saturday's Critters this week, my archives show my grand-puppies: first Cody, the Pomeranian. I mainly talk with him when he's barking over the phone, making it difficult for people to hear each other talk. And the beautiful gal holding him is Kate, my granddaughter who just graduated high school in Ohio. (I know you might be tired of seeing her...but you're crazy, who could be tired of seeing such a beautiful girl! No I'm not at all biased!)
This is grand-pup Zora out back-pack-camping with my son Tai (and wife taking the photo) somewhere in Colorado or Utah probably.
Here's grand-pup Severus with granddaughter, Cayenne holding a gifted ceramic jar made by yours truly, in Tampa FL....hey, we all have hair that does that!
Not directly related, but kept in my family album, are my ex-in-laws. They are the greatest shared grandparents of my grandchildren with Marty and Cinnamon! And their other daughter lives in Minnesota, where they must have been visiting for this shot. A Blue Ox certainly qualifies for Saturday's Critters.
Yes I have more grand-pups and kittens, but this is what came up today, folks!

Today's quote:
When Alexander the Great visited Diogenes and asked whether he could do anything for the famed teacher, Diogenes replied: "Only stand out of my light." Perhaps some day we shall know how to heighten creativity. Until then, one of the best things we can do for creative men and women is to stand out of their light. -John W. Gardner, author and educator (1912-2002)
