Jake goes on his first boat ride, and cuddles up.
Added to 52 weeks for dogs set, as a pre-Jan 2009 shot, just so that I can add a few shots from before I started the group, and to document most of Jake's first year of life with us. Jake was born 9/1/09, and came into our lives, 11/22/09.

The barn's goat, Katie, has decided to share Penny's paddock with her. They seem quite friendly, too, and the barn owner says Penny is treating Katie as if Katie is her foal. I always knew Penny was the motherly sort.
When I went to get Penny, I said to her that I noticed she had a new friend, and when I said "Katie," Penny lowered her nose and nuzzled Katie's back, like she understood I was admiring her "baby," and she was showing her to me. So cute!
I think this new friendship will be good for both Penny and Katie.
I asked the sun “why do you shine every morning ?”
She answered “to give the light for every new born... to grow under my shine promising for a new life... to make lives”
I asked the sky “why are you so high ?”
She answered “to hold the clouds and cover the mountains... to give a flight for a free bird searching for what to feed his babies... to make lives”
I asked the tree “why are you so firm ?”
She answered “to give air... to give shadows... to give homes for birds and animals... to make lives”
I asked the flower “why do you have so bright color ?”
She answered “for the eyes delight... for bees and butterflies to come and have what I hug between my petals... to make lives”
I asked the bee “why do you fly every day ?”
She answered “to bring essences... to care of the little ones... for power and hope... to make lives”
I asked the night “why are you so silent ?”
He whispered “to make peace for what I hold underneath... for angelic dreams in a child’s eyes... waiting for the next sunshine... and make lives”
I asked the stars “why are so bright ?”
They whispered “for guidance... for the charmed eyes... for imaginations to come true... to make lives”
I asked the moon “why do you shine every night ?”
He answered “when the sun goes to sleep... I take her job... and shine... to make lives”
Then I asked the human “why can’t we live in love and peace like them... and make lives ?”
I waited and waited... they didn’t answer... they were too busy to watch and listen...
So I went to the sun and had some of her power...
to the sky and had some of her arise...
to the tree and had some of her wisdom...
to the flower and had some of her love...
to the bee and had some of her hope...
to the night and had some of his silence...
to the stars and had some of their imagination...
to the moon and had some of his shine...
A lot of questions in my mind...
a lot of dreams in my eyes...
a lot of hopes in my heart...
and I waited... for the future...
for that I know it is in my hand and I can... make lives...

Life is Beautiful ♥ ... Lets make it ! :)
How could I live without you my love, even for an afternoon?
When the sun comes up I open ten-thousand eyes to you,
when it sets I open ten thousand more.

Friday was my last lesson with my senior class before their Trial Exams. It was a frantic rollercoaster ride where I was desperately trying to cram in some last little tidbits about the film, 'Life is Beautiful'. I even shed a little tear & drew them all over the whiteboard. Can you see the little orange teardrops? My classroom photographer, 'The Wise Twin' got in on the act & wrote her screen name on the board as well.
I'm wearing another thrifted LA jacket. This one's got a 'Made in Japan' label on it & my guess is that it's from the seventies.
The multi-coloured scarf from 'Anthro' goes well with my 'Hundreds & thousands' thrifted dress. Thrifted Blue perspex flower pin, red plastic flower ring from 'Forever 21'; thrifted 'Bally' bootlets, black bubble skirt, years old.

হায়রে বাংলাদেশি!!
"জোটে যদি মোটে একটি পয়সা,
খাদ্য কিনিও ক্ষুধার লাগি,
দুটি যদি জোটে অর্ধেক দিয়ে
পতাকা কিনে নিও হে অনুরাগী!! "
বাঙ্গালি চেতনা যে আমাদের নবীন প্রজন্মের নিকট প্রকট, তা নিঃসন্দেহে সন্দেহাতীতভাবে সত্য। উপরের ছবিটাই তার আরেকটি প্রমাণ।
এ চেতনার জন্ম কিন্তু বাংলা ভাষা আন্দোলন এর মাধ্যমেই। আমি নিশ্চিত যে, ভাষা আন্দোলনের মাধ্যমে বাঙ্গালি জাতিস্বত্বার জন্ম যদি না হত, ৭১ এ স্বাধীনতা লাভ সম্ভব হত না। তবুও কিছু কিছু ঘাটতি তো থেকেই যায়। ভারত-পাকিস্তান হতে পৃথক হয়েও আমরা এখনো আলাদা হতে পারিনি। তবে এ যুগের পরিবর্তন হচ্ছে। ভাষার মাসে এখন আমরা তথ্য-প্রযুক্তিতে উন্নত একটা জাতিকে এই ক্ষেত্রেই নাকানি-চুবানি খাইয়েছি। আর একটি দেশের খেলোয়াড়রা তাদের অন্নসংস্থানের তাগিদে আমাদের দেশে খেলতে আসছে। তবুও এখনো গুটিকয়েক ছাগলের তিন নম্বর বাচ্চা পাকিস্তানি পতাকা ওড়ায়, ‘পাকিস্তান,পাকিস্তান’ বলে চেঁচায় । টিভি খুলে ভারতীয় চ্যানেলে রাণ্ডি চামেলী-মুন্নিগুলোর দিকে ড্যাব ড্যাব করে চেয়ে থাকে আর মিনিটে মিনিটে হিন্দি গান আওড়ায়। ১টা বাংলা বাক্য বলতে গেলে ৫টা হিন্দি শব্দের আবির্ভাব ঘটায়। বড়ই পরিতাপের বিষয়!!!
আজ শহীদ দিবস ও আন্তর্জাতিক মাতৃভাষা দিবস। জন্মের পর এক বাঙ্গালি শিশুর জীবনে সর্বপ্রথম এই ভাষার মাধ্যমেই জাতীয় চেতনার উৎপত্তি ঘটে। তাই, যাঁদের শাহাদাতের ফলস্বরূপ এই ভাষা ও বর্ণমালার স্বীকৃতি, তাঁদের মাগফিরাত কামনা করছি। আল্লাহ যেন তাঁদের কবরের আযাব মাফ করেন ও বেহেস্তবাসী করেন। আমিন...
[সর্বোপরি, যাঁদের কল্যাণে এখানে বাংলা ব্যবহার ব্যাপকহারে বাড়ছে সেই আধুনিক ভাষাসৈনিক ‘অভ্র’ এর জন্মদাতাদের জানাচ্ছি কৃতজ্ঞতা...]

The orchid in our living room that bloomed at New Years is still in full bloom. There is nothing better in winter than beautiful living flowers. Have a wonderful Tuesday dear friends.
