This is a beautiful Ivory carving that you may wish to enlarge to see the details better. I am not sure, but I think it is Italian.

I bought a 5 lb. bag of loose Oolong Tea from the Chines Restaurant for $8.00. This is the best tea. I need to find some canisters or containers so I can make smaller storage units of tea to freeze.

Here is a nice photo that I borrowed from another site. Pretty as a picture.

I have stayed in all day. It was raining when I got up and it rained all day. The temperatures went up, now they are going down. Mother Nature must have gotten her yo yo out to play with. Tomorrow, Sunday, we are supposed to have snow off and on all day. Yet, it is only supposed to be an inch or so. Thus, I have written:

DON'T TRUST MOTHER NATURE

SHE'S AS FICKLE AS CAN BE

SHE SNOWS AND BLOWS

AND NO ONE KNOWS

WHERE FROM HER WRATH

TO FLEE

-

HER LOVER'S OLD MAN WINTER

AN AIRY KIND OF GUY

FROM IN HIS LAIR

WITH HOARY HAIR

HE SENDS HIS CHILLY CRY

-

NO, DON'T TRUST MOTHER NATURE

SHE 'S FAITHLESS AND UNTRUE

A FICKLE FRIEND, BUT IN THE END

SHE 'LL TURN HER FACE

FROM YOU

uh hu...by me...LOL's

You can tell it's been a lazy day. The only thing I have accomplished is to shred a bag full of junk mail.

FOR ALL CREATION,NEW,

IN ITS SEVERAL KINDS,

WAS BEING MADE OVER ANEW

SERVING ITS NATURAL LAWS,

THAT YOUR CHILDREN

MIGHT BE PRESERVED,

UNHARMED.

Wisdom 19, 6

This verse is in the conclusion chapter of Wisdom. I have thought about it and don't know what to make of it. The Bible is a mystery.

*

BE JOYFUL IN HOPE,

PATIENT IN AFFLICTION,

FAITHFUL IN PRAYER

Romans 12:12

Tomorrow, Sunday, will be a bacon 'n eggs kind of morning. If it snow I may take a picture. I forgot to get the snow shovel out!
