Here's a wonderful poem from Teres a Evangeline's site.  Link:   Teresa Evangeline "Childish Things" When they light the candles a little propeller turns the angels around and around. They are of gold, of thin metal, with a trumpet held in front of each mouth, And a sound that comes when a tiny chain drags across a silvery chime. Flecks of light dance on the ceiling from figures that gleam as they pass the flame. That sight, that sound, that warm candle shine through the years. You look out the window: What are you doing with the years that shine around and around when the angels come? ~ William Stafford Yesterday after reading this poem I went out and bought a new candle angel set.  I found the last set!  I was hoping to get a larger version but this one will be fine. I cold not get a clear 

Here's a nature video I think you'll enjoy.  It begins soaring through the clouds then down towards an island.  That's when the action begins! (I thought I posted this before but I could not find it on my list of past posts.  I lost the source of the video.) If you like you can enlarge it and turn up the volume.

While I worked on changing the design of my blog I came across this post from 9/10/12. I just had to post it again. It starts a bit slowly. I'm still moved by the beauty of these creatures. If you can get the clarity I'd enlarge it to full screen and turn the music up if you like. Here's the post: The video is so good that it looks 3D to me. Enjoy! From the blog: WEB SUL BLOG

Do you remember this song by Van Morrison from the 70's? I heard it again today and  It still excites me! Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance With the stars up above in your eyes A fantabulous night to make romance Neath the cover of October skies And all the leaves on the trees are falling To the sound of the breezes that blow And I'm trying to please to the calling Of your heart-strings that play soft and low And all the nights magic seems to whisper and hush And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush Chorus: Can I just have one a more moondance with you, my love Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love Well, I wanna make love to you tonight I can't wait 'til the morning has come And I know that the time is just right And straight into my arms you will run And when you come my heart will be waiting To make sure that you're never alone There and then all my dreams w

Last night Lynette and I went to the Sons of Italy Christmas Party.  It was a great time with delicious food and friendly people. There was what they called a "Thieves Christmas". Wrapped gifts were exchanged at random with the chance to take someone else's gift.  We brought a bottle of Frangelico hazelnut flavoured liqueur and received an hourglass. I learned about the Italian holiday called La Befana. "In Italian folklore, Befana is an old woman who delivers gifts to children throughout Italy on Epiphany Eve (the night of January 5) in a similar way to Saint Nicholas or Santa Claus. ..." This video explains the tradition:

I tried this and it works for me. I found the plan on the TED website. The link is on the list at the bottom of my blog along with other links I find interesting. The video link:   Matt Cutts- Try something new for 30 days The blog link:  TED- Ideas worth spreading

Last night my daughter and son-in-law's dog York passed away.  It was the same as the death of a close friend. Thankfully during the last few months he was doing well and did not suffer.  He died on the way to the veterinarian in my son-in-law's car.  At least he did not die alone. We'll miss him.
