A brief-yet-ongoing journal of all things Carmi. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll reach for your mouse to click back to Google. But you'll be intrigued. And you'll feel compelled to return following your next bowl of oatmeal. With brown sugar. And milk.
"Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint you can on it."This being a long weekend and all, I thought the late Mr. Kaye's words would be particularly worth sharing. I hope you're making the most of the time you've been given, this weekend and always.
Danny Kaye

great QOTD by Danny Kaye.
it's noon and I've already splashed a few colours onto the canvas. I've stopped to listen to cicadas singing from dozens of hidden corners in Old South. I've enjoyed coffee and a refill in The Village. I've turned a 100-year old slab of spruce over in my hands and dreamt about its future as a writing table. Time now for a sandwich!
Keep well,
GH
I bought some suet-seed blocks that were on sale at Ace Hardware. Now I'm hoping some birds show up to take advantage, and perhaps provide some nice photo opportunities in turn.

I love that quote and keep it handy to remember to enjoy life and let go and have fun.

I love Danny Kaye and catch his movies whenever they are on the classic movies stations. This is a great quote and describes my life to a "T". There is always plenty of paint on my canvas, but it is by no means a masterpiece at times. But then, what would be the fun of living on an empty, stark white medium everyday?
