...And Sometimes Things Are NOT What They Appear To Be!

 (8 ounces of Whole Bean or Ground free Chocolate Orange Flavored Coffee by teaman)

      I'm not talking about the coffee beans in the header photo. They ARE what they appear to be...coffee beans. :-) In fact, they look like they would be some really 'good-tasting' coffee beans!...Wish I had a cup right now! I really need to wake up!!!

      I think the cooler weather, and the serene backyard scenery, is lulling me into an attempted hibernation! ^_^ All I wanna do is sleep!...And I'm doing quite a bit of it too! I 'took a nap' yesterday, around 4 p.m., that was suppose to be NO MORE THAN a couple of hours...tops! When I woke up it was almost 8 p.m.!! O_O And believe it or not, by 10 p.m. I was back down for another 'nap'!!

      I only woke up a couple of times during the night....you know, because I HAD to! ^_^...and then it was right back to sleep!...And I didn't get up again until almost 7 a.m. this morning!!!! O_O I think I may be a bear!!...a real bear! LOL And considering my hormonal mood lately, my hubby would probably agree!!! LOL

      No. I don't look like a bear!....but sometimes things are not as they appear! ^_^ ...

     Eat...or...decorate your 'eats' with! (see above photo) Y-U-M!!! :-)

        Hmmmm...do bears like decorated leaves?!....Answer?!....YES! ^_^ Especially if they're made out of chocolate!!!...

      I love gradating tiers in a necklace! Love it!!...

      I used to have a silver necklace like this. Mine was a silver choker, with silver metal rods hanging down, on a gradating level like the amber stones above. It was so fun to wear!...Hmmm...I wonder where my necklace is now! O_O
         I also saw these flowers!...

      At first I thought they were just flowers. But things are not always as they appear. :-) A little closer look and I saw the earrings holding them up!...

      Sooooo pretty!

     Looking out my window this morning, and seeing dark cloudy skies, made me wish that it wasn't what it appeared to be...but it is. :-( Rain is coming. YUCK!! All you have to do is look at the smiley face --> :-) ... and know that it is NOT as it appears to be...happiness. I AM NOT HAPPY about the rain!!!...Bears don't do well when they're wet...or arthritic...or moody...or hungry! ^_^ At least...not THIS bear! ^_^ Have a good day, Everybody!

Light

I wait most every morning
to see soft light coming through the trees;
To see the darkness pierced by shadows,
making clarity a tease.

I wait most every morning,
knowing darkness will give way;
Hoping sunrise won't forget me,
and my night will soon be day.

I wait most every morning,
for the thick black blanket's night
to flip back and uncover
all the brilliant rested light!

I've never been disappointed.
Light always manages to appear.
And I always smile and wave and holler:
"Hello Light! I'm over here!"
