In the summer I coveted and covered thee, mon arbor, mon amour And now I am gone And miss you so much in this deathly winter As I lie and grieve for you in my grave Now, I can only cover and covet your shadow To try and renew and relive our love With a hope to keep our memories warm Mon mieu, Mon arbor, Mon amour.

A sad scene of two forgotten bikes.
When new and shiny they provided so much joy, and with so much potential to provide more joy, but forgotten and left out in the cold
The more pressing human equivalent -expressed by Mother Teresa
“Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.”

Feeling a little let down
Kinda blue
Fenced in
Downright cold and bleak
With nobody to play with
Thankfully support systems are strong
“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”

“I will have my way with you in the spring when you will wither away, and rather than embracing me with your hard and cold heart, you will enrich me from the bottom of my roots to the inner sanctum of my soul!”
Each has a glorious moment in time, as the cycles of nature go around and around with ups and downs.

Observations of a dOG wALKER
Green vs Brown vs White.
Green has had her time and is a mere beautiful memory – and she knows it as she fades into the background
Brown has not yet given up, and rises above White.
White rests in quiet confidence She knows that time and space for the near future is on her side

When I became slow rusty and crusty,
They drove a stick drive through my hard drive-
Like a stab in the back
And tossed me to the cold water of the winter
And now I lie with an empty brain on the dog walk path
With the excrement of some wild animal on my face –
So I said to myself
as I lay in the gutter of life
If I am not for myself who will be for me?
And if I am only for myself –
What am I?
And if not now when then?
So I did the trick of Watson and Crick
and did CTRL copy paste
and duplicated myself
and did C colon enter
and got rid of the excrement on my face
and did CTRL ALT delete
and deleted the ALT RIGHT CLICK (whew!)
and then did CTRL SAVE –
which saved my soul
And suddenly there was a turn around and I sat upright in the water
Thank G for Hillel
who inspired my comeback!

Clue – raining in Boston and the dog needs a walk
Re the quiz – Thanks for your taking up the challenge!
Stanford wins this round! Go Jeff Koseff – There was a puddle on the tarmac (asphalt) path – The puddle had mirror like properties and was able to reflect the tree in the park alongside the path. I think one clue is a small bunch of pine needles (middle and left ) and few other very small pieces of grass. A second puddle is seen in the bottom left corner

“I think we have created a double monster”
From the series “The Art of Slime Water”
Shakespeare’s Song of the Witches:
“Double, double toil and trouble” – Macbeth
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg and howlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

For those who do not experience a snowy and icy winter, “Salt Stains” will need an explanation. In order to melt ice on the road and sidewalks after the city snowploughs have removed the bulky snow from the roads, they put salt down in order to lower the freezing point of the ice and hence facilitate melting. In this way the slippery dangers of “black ice” on th road and sidewalks are prevented. However the salt stains the shoes and so when people walk inside, the salt residue creates all sorts of art on the floors
