A blog with meaning


When words can mean something different..Some people can make their words seem different then what they are perceived to be, leading people or wanting people to think differently.This could be a double meaning post.






The day turned out to be one of great meaning for this country girl that lives in the boondocks....as I've had some describe my living in the country.......I jumped on the four wheeler with camera in tow and noticed that spring is just around the bend.

I had a remarkable girlfriend that I not only worked with but lived beside of and after 20 years she was moving to Georgia..After tears of good-bye she had me dig this little tree which was merely a foot high out to her back yard as a rememebrance of her....Here it sits 15 foot or so away from my house to be seen each day....................................................This scraggley looking little tree to the left is one of remebrance of the land owner that once lived here...After he passed away 10 years ago this maple tree sprouted up ...Ironically it was the exact same spot where this previous land owner used to sit and oversee his property...Days upon end he would sit on this spot where this tree mysteriously appeared when he passed on..so we call this dad's tree.





This tall twisted willow tree is one the landowners wife planted in her yard after she wanted a start from ours......The crooked willow...to which we call...............

mom's tree...Mom just passed not quite two years ago but her and dad's memory live on in the growing of their trees..

The next one is a bush from my native state ...the great state of West Virginia..Yes,,I'm a buckeye with hillbilly roots............This is my Rhondendron bush,the state flower of West Virginia..








The bloom off my little bush....Not knowing too much about flowers I planted my poor little bush in the open sun...wondering why after 10-15 years my bush never bloomed ..Now I know..the secret to the planting was that the little bush was suppose to be on the East side of the house away from the full glare of the sun which I planted it in....I will attempt to move it out of the full exposure of the sun when suitable time for moving,,,,alas a bush none other then my little West Virginia bush..


Yes ...the heading of my post and the content of the post is entirely opposite in meaning but I've been reading posts lately that twist and turn their posts into what they want them to be and out of text with what they are....to be continued.

maybe just maybe

Well maybe ,,just maybe I will get back into my blogging...maybe not...For the last day of March...I do beleive it went out like a lion....So ,,does that mean officially no more cold days of winter..Either way...I am happy to just know that April is here...Oh .so this must be my day....Not full of pranks..just full of fun and laughter.Me ..the one accused by some of having too much of a sense of humor...I always thought that was better then having NO sense of humor.....either way...It's much easier going thru life with a smile on your face....Always makes people wonder what you are up too....plus it looks a lot better. Ten minutes into the first day of the month I chalked down my first joke...for the day,via chat line....probably be my last...maybe not .the grandbabies are coming down tonite because of other plans for Sunday..I do beleive that some Napolis or Pizza Hut pizza will be on the menu for Friday night..Spent most of my day accumulating items to be distributed for baby shower...birthday and Easter ..Debating on whether to make my son a cheesecake((his favorite dessert )) tomorrow night ...(meaning tonight since this is Friday) or wait until next week as his birthday is on Thursday....It's a mere question of whether I want to be early or late...May opt for the late as I have always ran more on the late then the early side in getting things done.. I'm waiting for the weather to break where as I can visit an old friend (not that shes old) in Jackson county ..my old stomping grounds and meet her newly acquired gr-daughter and family...We hashed it out and decided it would be sometime during the month of April...not too hot and not too cold....Geez ..on that note ..I sound like Goldilocks....Another bigger get together is planned for mid summer for an old friend or friends get together depending on how many plan to attend.....That date has'nt been set yet... I'm sitting here looking at a clock ticking in a quiet room that seems to take over and consume the room..I had a brother to stay over night this past month and the grandfather clock kept him awake..It was not the Westminister chiming and music that kept him awake..it was the continious ticking of the grandfather clock along with 15 or 16 other clocks....most sit upon the shelves ticking away almost in perfect sequence with the most prestige of the collection.Gram-pa..My living room has become a haven for clocks.....All different with its own designs and most are action or movement clocks that are always chiming at differnt times so as not to conflict with all the other ones sitting within their surroundings... April 1st....a much better looking day then the one that rendered snow flurries and rain and went out as the say "like a lion".. Hello April ..I do like you much better ...Starting out on a rather cool note but weather is on the rise.....Weather man says in 70's next week,,not soon enough....I'm ready for the arrival of a new season,,One that is my favorite time of year....Everything is returning to life.A new beginning...Now I know why I was chosen to be born this month,,to start out in a month with newly green buds on the trees,,,grass beginning to sprout ,,,and the arrival of the brightly colored Easter lilies...and tulips after surviving the harsh bitter winter....I love the new life with all its vivid colors.....yes April is my month..... It's a short post but a lot of things left to do on my list of to do's that don't get done...btw......April fool to you...Hope not too many people get this over on you. enough said. This post was started after midnight so the past and present tenses are used ..hope it doesnt confuse too many of you...p.s..you'll have to bear with me on the running together of paragraphs....Its been some time since I blogged and have to reconfigure how to do everything....

family

The Ides of March..so saying....ok..as far as family I will honestly ..if I post anything about one or more of them will try not to hit the negative key as I have been unjustly accused of doing....Some live up to the word....Some don't.....Plain and simple fact..Some are the disher outters..Some are the takers........I was taken all along ,,just didnt know it........enough said

its been a long time

It's been some time since I've wanted to sit down and blog...I do occasionally but at times I feel like these blogs can comsume your entire life if you let them.. Its the last day of March....Winter has come and gone with a few straggling days of cold mornings and having to crank up a wood stove again....Spring cleaning comes late because of wood stove dust and its signs of grey little thingys lying everywhere...wiping them off soon becomes days of repetition as long as that little black monster is getting wood to fuel it....looking for the warmer nights and days where it will be less dusty and be more like cleaning. Looking back..a lot of things have happened within the last year...deaths...births, marriages and alienations to some degree....most of these are family related and create a dark cloud that lingers with time.... Death..no matter how it happens..it is a sign of ones life ending and having the memories of those gone in your heart forever hoping if faith is there ..one day to be reunited again, Births....ahh...those tiny little bundles of joy ..knowing each day is the joy of watching them grow .then one day they are gone and youve watched them grow into their own being. marriages....the perfect union of two people that are so in love with each other that they want to share their new life for others to witness.....a new start..a new beginning... alienations....it happens in most families at some time or another...these people are the ones that conceal..cover up their own true identifies..are control freaks and have to be the attention getters..... I have witnessed...deaths ..births,,marriages,,and the worst alienations.,,, Watching and listening as others prepare to tear down your mental image of someone you thought was a true friend and wondering how they can turn into such a(( looks and actions are deceiving kind of person)),,,,only wanting to try to manipulate..control and gain access to any thing personal happening in your life so they can sabotage it any which way they can. I know an aunt that has nieces and nephews to which more then half do not want anything to do with her because she has repeatedly insulted them for being less fortunate in their lives then what she is....and the ones she tried to manipulate and control soon realized this was not the aunt that they thought she was....and wanted nothing more to do with her. Control freaks...now these people have become totally agressive in trying to manipulate and sway the younger people into someone they want them to be...((((sounding more like a jim jones charade)) trying not to give advice but more then less demanding how it should be...in which the younger generation has retaliated back and politely removed her from being anything less then the aunt that they mistakenly thought she was in their younger years.... I ,myself once..no three times was lured into the den and fell victim...Others say..was'nt once ..maybe twice bad enough without going in the third time....I wholeheartenedly thought it would be different til one day after a heavy day of fun posting back and forth I was the brunt of cruel ..degrading remarks which was aimed at a post with various comments that the group was all makin....My one comment fueled the button for her to say my sense of humor was despicable and the addition of more uncalled for words were throwed out only to be shown then removed later so she could portray being a prey and not the hunter she was.....It was only meant as humor which was always thrown back and forth between these chat rooms until I noticed it was fine if I was on the receiving end getting them as long as I was'nt giving them...Needless to say...A leopard doesnt change its spots and I'm to the point where I'd rather be ""better safe then sorry'' as far as having someone ready to (pounce) and lurkng waiting to take control again.......so hit the remove button.....I had to have some friends removed too..since some fell victim to the same abuser and for the time being wont know it until they disagree or make an accidental remark that is taken the wrong way. She has with her twisted words managed to elude the fact that she is the one with the Charley Sheen attitude......enough said,,, .I"m done.

Meigs County Ohio Tornado EF-3 Damage September 17, 2010

on thursday september 16-2010 this was the tornado that ripped thru our little country town between 3-5 mile away from us..this is mild compared to driving a half mile swath and seeing trees downed ..more houses blown away and trash strewn everywhere..we drove down this road today but it is blocked off to on lookiers...the american red cross was there and were sitting up the small fema trailors for these people..how sad for these people and how lucky we were that this tornado didnt veer anymore to the left to ascend upon our house..we were spared..thank God.
