It's Saturday

 Muffin on her 12th birthday, and my 67th - she was born on my birthday so it was easy to remember! This was quite a few years ago...






Yep, I love cats! Prefer the in person cuddly purring kind but photos are good reminders.

I don't play tennis, and didn't understand the joke, but the play on words is still funny.

Sharing with Sepia Saturday and Saturday's Critters!






You cannot buy the revolution.
You cannot make the revolution.
You can only be the revolution.
It is in your spirit or it is nowhere.

Ursula K. LeGuin, The Dispossessed

Caring for myself

Sitting on top of my old tube style TV, one of my favorite vases holds a new bouquet I purchased on Christmas eve eve.


I wonder if these squeezed up little mums will open.
 
As Saturday drew to a close, I had discovered 2 major domestic crisies...first the wall heating unit in the living room has gone kaput...puts out with fan only, no heat. Secondly, the car has that dreaded "Check Engine" light on...so no driving around town till I get a mechanic to look at it. Both will have to wait till Mon.

Today's Quote:
Spirit, rehearse the journeys of the body
that are to come, the motions
of the matter that held you.

Rise up in the smoke of palo santo.
Fall to the earth in the falling rain.
Sink in, sink down to the farthest roots.
Mount slowly in the rising sap
to the branches, the crown, the leaf-tips.
Come down to earth as leaves in autumn
to lie in the patient rot of winter.
Rise again in spring’s green fountains.
Drift in sunlight with the sacred pollen
to fall in blessing.
                                    All earth’s dust
has been life, held soul, is holy.

Ursula K. Leguin
