Do you remember the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man who was in the movie, Ghostbusters ? I saw him in the park the other day.  No, really I did!  What's the matter?  Don't you believe me?  I even got a picture of him.  See!  Here he is. Can you see him there running across the treetops?  No?  Well, here.  Maybe this will help.  If I only had a giant graham cracker and a giant Hershey's chocolate bar, he'd make a heck of a S'more, don't you think? How about you?  Have you seen anything unusual recently?  

I saw a cat running through the sky the other day.  I figured it was probably trying to catch a bird.  Can you see it there? Wait.  Look now.  Now can you see it? Well, here, try this picture.  Now can you see it? Happy Sunday, everyone! 

It's been a fairly quiet and typical Sunday here. I went to church this morning. Then visited my Mom for a while. I baked a cinnamon applesauce cake with coconut pecan icing this afternoon. SOMEONE had a piece before I could take a picture. Hmm...I'll have to investigate and see who THAT was. The weather was absolutely gorgeous again--sunny and in the mid 70's. Our summer this year has been mild and wonderful so far. I have enjoyed it immensely. It has been grand for taking walks, so I go whenever I can. While walking, I saw this pretty bed of flowers planted around a large rock in the park. I love these giant red flowers. Because of their large size and their loud "you can't miss it" color, they seem like something that ought to be from a Dr. Seuss story or some similar whimsical, imaginative land. That's about it for here today. Nothing much else exciting to report. Oh yeah, except just one thing. I almost forgot to tell you. I saw Superman fly...

The males of my household traveled to Detroit for the day today to watch the Cleveland Indians lose yet again (gluttons for punishment), so I had the day to myself here at home. This afternoon, I visited my Mom, did some reading, paid the bills, went shopping for a little while, and watched a little bit of TV ( I had the remote all to myself!! ). I also went for a walk, as usual. It was a quiet day, but it passed by quickly. I have just a few photos to share with you from over the weekend. Friday night the sky was filled with cotton candy clouds. Every direction I looked I saw pink spun sugar up above me. It looks like there must have been a carnival going on in Heaven and the cotton candy machine was running amok. ;) Saturday morning we had some much needed rain that helped green up the grass and washed the dust off of everything. The flowers looked bright and clean afterward. These honeysuckle are growing in some one's yard about a block away from me. Attracted to the scen...

The photos in the media player below are ones I took of the clouds in the park where I walk. I wanted to share with you in a different way the peace that I felt while walking. I am trying something new with a bit of help from a site I found called One True Media . I hope your Sunday and the days of the week ahead are filled with peace.
