Outside My Window, I See...

A green field of corn, as high as an elephants thighs, and behind it a hill of green grass with the cows contentedly having breakfast and enjoying the refreshing shower and break from the heat. Above it all the grey sky...just itchin' to turn blue! :)

“Round as a sun is the golden tree.
Its honey dust sifts down among the light
to cover me…

…Lock your branches around me, tree;
let the harsh wooden scales of bark enclose me.
Take me into your life and smother me with blossom
till my feet are cool in the earth
and my hair is long in the wind;
till I am a golden tree spinning the sunlight.

Strong as the sun is the golden tree
that gives and says nothing,
that takes and knows nothing;
but I am stronger than the sun; I am a child.
The tree I am laying beneath is the tree of my heart…”

Believe it or not....
A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 6 private satellites just lifted off from Cape Canaveral at 11:15 this morning then I ran outside to see the rest of its flight.
 
Outside my window I see ...

A strung-out coke dealer and a junkie or three
A collarless dog chewing on a dead bird
And a guy stealing cable
He's SUCH a big nerd!

I see a white cop car
With lights flashing red
And just down the street
A homeless guy's dead

I see little kids
Riding bikes that they've stole
And the old-aged couples
Surviving on the dole

The welfare family
That lives up the street
Just bought a new flat-screen -
I guess it's their treat

The Domino's truck
Comes around here non-stop
Guess it's no big thing
To pay $9 a pop.

The gutters have garbage
The sewers all smell
And that's what I see from my window -
Some Hell.

Hummingbirds, butterflies, impatiens, Stella d'Oro lilies, blue/purple/pink/yellow torenia, yellow celosia, vinca, geraniums, coleus, guara, purple salvia, balloon flowers, red and yellow knockout roses, gardenias, caladiums, dianthus, zinnias, bachelor buttons, yellow lantana, hydrangea, pentas, verbena and a butterfly bush. Along with those, the foliage left from iris, glads, daylilies and Asiatic lilies that are done blooming. There are some squirrels out there and every now and then a chipmunk.

Sounds like heaven to me.
 
I see my 10X14 hen house with the chickens scratching in their yard, and just past that there is a donkey that brays at all hours. The donkey chases the ducks to the far side of the pond, or they perch on the floating platform. This year we decided to let the neighbor graze two horses and a colt in the back three acres, since we aren't growing vegetables anymore. All of this makes for hours of entertainment.:wave:
