The people of Queensland ... today is the day that cyclones should be hitting them.
Wow, just recuperating from the floods and now this.... God Bless them all ...
This pic was taken in Queensland a few weeks ago in the mountains, as we were driving to the village of Nimbin ...
We were so blessed that day .... we crossed a few creeks on the road, but later found out that they had closed them right after .... yep ... blessed...
Have a hell of a day my friends ....
Just a note my friends.... an oopsy on my part... Nimbin is is NSW not Queensland...but it was on our voyage and close to the border .... but a note .... For all you 50 + group ...please google Nimbin if you have a chance and want a laugh ..... My God !!! it's a flash back to the 70's ... where " Pot " still rules and all the shops are painted in hippiesque designs ... and invites to the annual Mardi-grass festival are given out ..... lol.... have fun...xox
~ thank you ~ for your lovelight sent to us these last few weeks *
last sunday i was determined ~ if they wanted to go and seemed well enough to go ~ to take lulu and mom to the Saint Francis of Assisi Blessing of the Animals at the big park next to my mom's new abode.
(lulu did want to go.. but did not want to get into the car!.. so i lifted all 79 pounds of her :)
lulu had a very rough time on the way there.. though its only 2 miles drive from our house .. but both mom and lulu were infused with all the good vibes there ~ and both seemed to really blossom from being there **
(mom is amazing .. she's nearly 86 and this was only five days after her mastectomy surgery.)
~ a little bit about our time there ~
brother christopher, a franciscan monk with the kindest eyes i have ever seen, gave lulu her blessing *
(he had come up to us when we got there and said he remembered lulu from last year :)
he and we, plus the minister from unity church, sat in a circle on the grass .. brother christopher's words for lulu were like lightning.. so beautiful, i wept.
~ later, he told me that he felt lulu's energy as being *pure love* radiating outward to everyone .. and he said, "lulu has a very, very powerful spirit".
when i introduced the unity minister (whose name is sky :) to my mother, he said, "frances!.. and today is the celebration of st. francis! .. may i give you a blessing too?" .. and he did, with oils .. he then took a colorful bracelet off his arm, on which was written ~be aloha~ and put it on mom's arm.. :)
mom had the most marvelous time!.. talking to all the people and meeting all the animals. .. indeed, this photo was taken at mom's request with my camera by a woman photographer named robin whom mom met there! thanks to her.
lulu, for most of the time we were there, sat in front of a young man with a guitar & a so-beautiful voice, never taking her eyes off him, listening to him sing .. after one song, he said with a beaming smile, "lulu is my biggest fan!"
our lightbulb also reveled in all the kisses she gave to & received from many animals and people.. :)
i thought of you throughout .. and said blessings for each of your animal children *
know i look really tired here .. but was feeling triumphant too as, despite all that's happened to them, lulu and mom were able to be at this blessing **
(gotta remember next time to untie my ponytail for photos :)
thank you so very much for asking about lulu and my mother in emails as well as in comments here on my stream ..
(as soon as i have some more moments, will share updates on them in a comment here.. now that the lab report is back for mom .. and now that lulu has had her ultrascan. .. they are mixed, but we are dealing..)
am sorry to still not be able to visit you on your streams or write emails, but soon i hope... xoxoxo
love and blessings to you, each one *
lulu, mom and alight
They have gorged themselves on windfall plums and have now found the greenhouse, cautious picking required, but there is a buzz about the place !
I spent another day yesterday wondering if I was going to have a stroke. Instead, our beloved Miss Chloe Smith #8 had one. She's alive and sleeping but very disoriented. I'll call the Vet when I get back from the cancer center this morning. Bless her heart. Sweetest most gentlest cat I've ever owned. Right now her middle name is the same as mine, "I'm not dead yet!" Some of the research says that some can survive and even improve, unlike humans. I'm praying for her and that God's will be done.Nancy Smith (5M+ views -- to Him be the glory!)
3:00 PM EST today Feb 1, 2024: Took Miss Chloe to the Vet to be put to sleep this morning. He talked me out of it which was a first. He wanted us to give her one more chance to recover from the strokes and gave her a new Osteoarthritis shot just for cats. Apparently some have extraordinary outcomes. This would hopefully help her crippling and weakness that she had before the strokes and she could get up and eat and use the little boxes, etc. SO as our middle names say: "We're not dead yet!"
Aquiii haciendooo la previaaaa paraaa entrar al black lyon llalalalalalalal xD

Minnesota hunters and trappers harvest around 100,000 foxes a year as the red fox pelt can bring over $50 each. Though plentiful, they are skittish and seldom sign up for a photo session. It helps when they are still young as they have not developed the wariness their adult parents have. The average life of a fox is only around 3 years so you need to get photos taken when the opportunity presents itself.
