THINK NEGATIVE

When you look into a forest

Can you only see the trees?

Do you see the size of sunlight

Through the elbows and the knees?

By the houses and the fences

Can you see the shape of skies?

Do the pieces of the atmosphere

Appear before your eyes?

Silence is a part of music.

There is hot and cold to feel.

Think negative, you'll find in art

That nothing's very real.

AWESOME MILK TRICK

The video also explains why the trick works.

I'M THAT IRRITATING PERSON WHO GOES BY YOUR HOUSE AND MAKES YOUR DOG BARK AT SIX A.M.

I admit it; I’m one of those morning people.  

You know, the annoying ones who are up running around 

before daylight hits the sky.

  (Side note:  this is really easy to do when the winter sun

 stays in bed well after eight a.m.) 

I like to visit the world before it gets all messed up with traffic and heat

 –and the curse of our part of the world—wind. 

I like how the low angle of the sunrise makes leaves glow.

I like how the water sparkles as it shoots from the big end guns

of the huge center pivot irrigation sprinklers in the fields.

I like how soft overcast mornings leave no shadows 

except those already painted there on spotted hides.

I like the fresh dewy smell of the pastures 

and the contented sound of cattle grazing.

I love the look of fields dotted with hay bales 

ready to be gathered in for winter storage.

I like how the huge block hay bales--size eight by four by four feet--

--look like something out of Stonehenge in the long shadows of morning.

New jokes from the kids:

What do you call a cow that's just had a calf??

DE CALF INATED!

If a blue house is made of blue bricks and

a pink house is made of pink bricks and

 a red house is made of red bricks what

is a green house made of??

GLASS
