Faces

 I am well aware I haven't been posting my own photos or poems lately and that is because I haven't been taking photos and I haven't been writing poems. That is about to change. I'm just about well again and it's springtime--good news for me.  In the meantime, blogger has allowed me to upload some of my favorite faces, but only a certain number. No explanation is necessary other than these are faces I love. And I  hope some or all make you smile. 
Love

A final word from kJ's New England Journal of Medicine: rubber noses having healing powers.

  1. If we get to vote--and I guess we do, otherwise why would I be voting?--I choose the goat, the puppets, the eucalyptus, the dog, and the birds in no particular order. I'm sure YOUR vote would be tilted toward the humans, maybe the children in particular.

  2. But what about that old piece of wood that Emily rabbit swore was a fellow critter? :-)

    I like that you voted, snow. My favorite is my Jess with her boys: one with hat and the other with nose(s)

    Xoxo my friend

  4. Hi cat, but some for your family, would you? I guarantee the effects. I will send you a reward if you buy some noses .

    Heehee- I mean it!

    1. Amanda, that photo is my partner JB at Halloween in Provincetown. After I read your comment I told her she won a beauty contest :-)

      And now 'memories' is in my head too--one of my favorites

    1. Hello, welcome home! I hope you have brilliant sun today , Marianne . I wonder if you will have a paintbrush in your hand and if so will it be a little one or a big one ?

      :-)

  10. Let's far it, the pictures were awesome. The first one seems like a face of a clown, bringing joy to one and all. I also liked the pix of stella, the goat, and emily's look-like. The Humans were pretty good, too.

    Spring is too good not to be enjoyed. Even with the rain (this is day four for us).

    Blessings and Bear hugs.

  11. kj Tell your daughter to not put that hat on the kid...it makes him look like Walter Matthau in Grumpy Old Men. Yes lovely faces all around but nothing lovlier than a kid with a head no bigger than a baseball wearing a nose as big as Washington's on Mt. Rushmore.

    Now get up get moving, you've been slacking off long enough! [;-0}---

    1. Mark, no hat is not going to fly at the beach. But hahaha Walter Matthau indeed

      I'm moving, thankfully finally. I get to write this morning before work. Love that. Speaking of love, yesterday's poem is a gem. Have you heard of the coltan poetry conference? Have you heard of rocket hub? Because i think it's your time if you can handle it xoxo

  12. I am glad you are feeling better! This post was most enjoyable, as I think each image is wonderful for its own sake. But that top photo is really stunning. Submit it to the photography section of your state fair, if you have a state fair and if the state fair has a photography section. Of course, only if you are so inclined to do such things. :)

  16. A difficult choice to vote...... but...I have to go with Stella...although I have always adored the one of JB - the *Lioness*.. really ALL of them are wonderful.

    Most wonderful is that you are feeling better...stronger....and moving around in the Springtime air! I hope every day is warmer and brighter... (the park must be glorious now)!!!

    I hope Emilwee is *behaving* herself....

    Love and Continued Strength,

    1. Thank you wrobin. Now I'm wondering who JB saw herself as!

      It really is a beautiful time of year here. Many flowering trees and the start of an active garden here at # 9. I'm glad to be upright and moving again. Hope all is super duper with you xo

Right now it is perched inside a window, looking out, until the shade screen man comes tomorrow for installation...The Mister is hoping to bribe him to install the owl too! **happy smiles** Deb
