Happy Thanksgiving!
Posted: November 23rd, 2017 | Author: timp67 | Filed under: T Writes | Tags: Animals, Holidays, Parades | No Comments »Animals in balloon form have long helped humans celebrate all good things on this day, proudly taking part in Macy’s famous parade. Take a look at these swelled-up celebrants of yore.
The elevated elephant.
The blimpy bobcat.
The inflated insect.
The dirigible dachshund.
The helium hippo.
And the star of the show, year after year. The towering turkey!
Likewise, let our spirits soar today, and let us be grateful for the good things we have, for family and friends, for warm hospitality, and for good company. Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Fourth of July!
Posted: July 4th, 2017 | Author: timp67 | Filed under: T Writes | Tags: Flowers, Holidays | No Comments »Fireworks are essential for celebrating Independence Day. But the bangs rattle some people’s heads. And the stinging smoke makes some noses get runny. And all the dogs in town yearn for a cave to hide in. Luckily, there are fireworks in nature. Quiet and good-smelling.
Agapanthus. A purple pow!
A blaze of asters.
A dazzling dahlia.
Whistling thistles.
Memorable Michelmas Daisies.
Spectacular spider lilies.
And aerial allium.
Stay safe and sane, and have a fabulous floral Fourth, everyone!

Some surfers weren’t content with riding the waves. They wanted to surf city streets, too. And there was only one way to do it. June 21 is Go Skateboarding Day, an official annual holiday conceived by the International Association of Skateboard Companies to promote the joys of cruising along the pavement on a short narrow board with two small wheels fixed to the bottom of either end. How fun is that? Just look at the joy on longtime pro Peggy Oki’s face as she zooms along the asphalt.
