REFLECTIONS

  The spider's webs I see are flat but this day I saw a three dimensional web. Here are a few images I played with. He was not very neat!

  We have the unbelievably lethal covid-19, then violence in the streets.  What will happen next? These frightening times remind me of the move The Purge.

It was Yesterday but here's an article and video you may enjoy: NATIONAL DOG DAY National Dog Day on August 26th encourages dog ownership of all breeds. While seeking a new companion, be sure to consider the mutts, mixes, purebreds, and everything in between.  Whether mixed or purebred, embrace the opportunity for all dogs to live a happy, safe, and abuse-free life. They all give us companionship. Additionally, they keep us safe, and they aid those in need. Dogs play. Well, they play many roles in our lives, too! They keep us healthy, both physically and mentally. While many days aim to find loving homes for dogs, this day expands that consideration to look beyond the breed. Look into the heart of the animal. The purpose of the National Dog Day Foundation is to rescue 10,000 dogs each year.

Lost phone, internet and TV. It was a short in one of my cable ports. Just got back on line. I'll be posting more often soon.  

 

Saint Agatha's Breasts The story behind this is that a young woman rejected a Roman governor's advances and was punished by having her breasts cut off!  There are paintings of the saint holding her breasts on a platter!  Cream filled breasts. I guess if I don't think about the story behind these breast treats,  I'd love to try one. They look delicious. Here's the article: What’s the first thing you think of when looking at these delectable pastries? Your mind isn’t in the gutter—it’s spot on. Nuns around the ancient port city of Catania, located on Sicily’s east coast, paid tribute to their patron saint by baking pastries shaped like her breasts. Today, bakers around the city carry on the tradition. According to the story, not only did 15-year-old Saint Agatha of Sicily refuse to abandon her faith, she also rejected a Roman governor’s advances. As such, she was punished by having her breasts amputated, then died of her wounds in prison on February 5, 251 A.D. Fresco
