Carpe Diem #941 Heart The blue-eyed, blond haired boy stole my heart when he was just a kicking fetus. The love continued to grow as we watched him coo, then talk his special talk. Grandaddy, (Nandad) always let him play with the tool box. Screwdrivers were i-dikers. Caboose was bagoose. The Playskool Tyke Bike was and is nooden-nooden. When looking for someone, he would say their name in a sing song, quizzical fashion while shaking his head in a negative fashion. He now uses words he learned during his college and grad school years two decades ago. These words are not nearly as fun as those precious made up toddler words. thunderclap acts as a bossy stormhorn rainbrella time! © Janice 'petra domina' Adcock Thanks to Chèvrefeuille for daily prompts on CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI

(love the new banner!!!)
The banner is a photo I shot in 2005 as we were driving in traffic crossing the Susquehanna River in Harrisburg, PA. I photoshopped the shot to have it level, removed the banister and replaced with reflections. Then we had it printed on artist's canvas and it has hung in our living area since about 2006.
DeleteYes, I agree..what was misding was the smell of smoke_, byt in reality it eas there, even if if not rxokicitly stated. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment, Hamish. The smell of burning leaves is different than wood fires, etc. The leaves have now mostly fallen here and are blowing all over the parking garage. Not enough to rake and burn, though!
