Dreams, horses, aging: Life is good!

This is a photo tribute to life, music, dreams, horses and aging. Music by Brock Zeman, 'Life is Good' , Lanark County musician. He wrote it about the house he bought. The photos are mine. The only thing certain is death and taxes! Dream on!

Our Northern Catalpa tree has visitors

The catulpa is a beautiful tree. We have one in our forest that has some issues, but the two near the house are doing well.

Both have lovely blossoms top to bottom. The one had some visitors (see the video)!

peony are almost done!

If you look closely, you can see a catulpa
-growing up in the middle of these fallen cedar.
We shall have to get in with a chainsaw.

Music by Brock Zeman, 'Walking Along the Edge' -just thought it a fitting song!

Zeman is a Lanark musician who plays every Tuesday at our local favourite pub!

This is a boot made for a woman!

We went out on the town yesterday. See my previous post. What was I thinking adopting an abandoned bird? Being adopted, with abandonment issues myself, it seemed to make sense. Deal with your issues...

For a bit of blessed relief, we went out to O'Reilly's pub. Those 5 a.m. feedings, with beautiful chirping songs from Batman.

It was a nice break. Caesar Salad with shrimp, and Oriental Stir-fry. Yum.

We practically lived at O'Reilly's when we moved here last September. No internet; no dishes or cutlery (couldn't find the box - too bad so sad!) They have wireless internet, and a great staff.

I've featured the boss's boots. They are SOOOOO kewl! 

Every Tuesday, Brock Zeman plays.
I heard his band featured on CBC radio one Sunday morning. The song that captured me is 'Life is Good'. A song about getting old, leaving your home, perfect for the people I volunteer with.

The ravages of old age are incredible. You lose your physical agility, mobility, and the sense start to go.
This song embodies the sadness of this state of old age. And we know that we have to name it to own it. We know how healing it is to speak of your issues, whether they be grief, anger or any of the emotions we feel as humans.

One of our clients, home ill, has a hubby in the hospital. She is lonely, and fearful.

Many talk about living to be 100, but you lose your friends, you cannot maintain your home, you may be unable to drive safely. Independence changes your life as your world narrows.

A haunting song. A great band. A good night out on a Tuesday. What the heck. Hubby let me sleep in until 7 p.m., when a kitten curled up on top of me to sleep after his first feeding.
