Autumn Poems

Besides the autumn poets sing,
A few prosaic days
A little this side of the snow
And that side of the haze.
~Emily Dickinson
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came -
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.
~George Cooper, “October’s Party”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

May your week be filled with Joy in every way.

Stop by and visit Ms Susan at Out door Wednesday.

Fields of Gold

Filed Under Autumn | 25 comments

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You’ll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold

Sting (Lyrics from Fields of Gold)

Stop by and visit Mary at Little Red House for Monday Mosaic. There are some wonderful vision there.

Thanks so much for stopping — I really do appreciate your time.

Favorite Things- New York City window displays

Filed Under Favorite Things | 7 comments

Do you have a Favorite Place? … or things?

If I am asked, “What is your favorite movie?” I have to admit it takes me a while to come up with that answer, depending on the day or my mood the answer might be very VERY different.

So, on that line of thinking,  I thought I would share  one of my favorite places to visit– New York City!

Ahhh yes the Big Apple.  I love the Broadway shows! I love the hustle and bustle of all the various people on the street. I even enjoy the non-stop honking of the miles and miles of yellow cabs.

Window displays are definitely one of my FAVORITES!

 

Please forgive the quality of these shots– taken with a “box” camera I think… But just some great examples of how much work goes into the displays. If I am remembering this trip correctly I think it was December at Sax 5th Ave.  The theme as you can see was Harmony and Friendship.

Her crown is stunning…

This display depicted children laying in snow- feet to feet- then reflecting off a hanging star… Friends bringing kinship to diverse worlds. (Kind of like the friendships that many of us feel through our blogging community.)

Be careful or you will break into singing “It’s a small world after all…” They definately had a Disney detail to them.

I don’t know that I would’ve ever thought of someone sitting on top of a group of Disco balls pondering over a book.

Sooo… here’s my question to you. What is one of your favorite things??  Perhaps no one even knows about or heard before– and put it in the comment section– This could get crazy…

I’m wondering if any of my friends knew I loved window displays this much? (well, I guess the cat is out of the bag

Stop by and visit Beverly on Pink Saturday there are such wonderful creative people over there.

Have a great weekend!  TTFN~~Claudia ♥ ♥

Michael Jackson – Monday Mosaic

Filed Under Music | 6 comments

This evening I saw “This is It”the  documentary of the last rehearsals with Michael Jackson. From what I am reading the movie has mixed reviews.

For me it was an emotional 2 hours. Not because I was one of his biggest fans but because  my young family grew with the help of Michael’s fun and without question talented “album” Thriller.  My boys (then 8 and 5) sang and danced right along with him.  I recall my mini-van rocking down the road singing at the top of our lungs to BAD.

Years ago I  spent hours upon hours rehearsing doing community theatre, (lol yes I was Mrs. Darling in Peter Pan – *curtsy*) and that being said, I know the hard work and fun that comes with putting together a show. So, for me the “journey” of this event was very entertaining.  The emotion the cast felt after being hand selected was heart warming.  Not only were they working with someone they felt they had grown up with, but they obviously adored him.

Dancing step by step, some times out performing dancers half his age, Michael may have appeared very thin, he certainly didn’t lack energy and his voice, while subdued at times was spot on pitch.

This young guitarist was awesome! She was brilliantly talented and Michael worked with her saying “this is your moment to shine!”

Some my favorites were of course the newer digitally enhanced Thriller performance and Smooth Criminal. I still love Billy Jean, Bad, Man behind the Mirror and Heal the World. His moon walk didn’t skip a beat.

This movie doesn’t try to explain anything other than give a glimps of behind the scenes and performance of a very talented man.

It’s something I would strongly recommend- I really enjoyed his music; and my revisiting in my mind with my precious young children was a nice visit.

Today’s Monday – run on over to visit with Mary at Little Red House and the other Mosaic-makers.
