Had a great thing happen to me fri morning had a little red squirrel
run on my fence never saw one in my yard ,

Just a blessing to see aniamals in my yard like that.
The Squirrel
Anonymous
Whisky, frisky,
Hippity hop;
Up he goes
To the tree top!
Whirly, twirly,
Round and round,
Down he scampers
To the ground.
Furly, curly
What a tail!
Tall as a feather
Broad as a sail!
Where's his supper?
In the shell,
Snappity, crackity,
Out it fell.

1 14-ounce bag shredded coconut
2 egg whites
1 tsp. vanilla
Pinch of salt
Melted chocolate for drizzle optional

The trick is to make mistakes when nobody is looking.

Question
Q: Is it true that when you shave, your hair grows back thicker?
A: No, the hair doesn’t really grow back thicker – it just looks like that way, explains Dr. Ronald B. Vender, director of the Dermatology Centre, a clinical research facility in Hamilton, Ont. When hair is cut or shaved, the cross-section at the cut is thicker than the tip, which has thinned due to such factors as washing your hair, exposure to the elements, wearing a hat, etc. "So while it seems at first that the hair is thicker," says Vender, "as the hair grows in length, it becomes tapered due to natural weathering."

Drama is like a dream, it is not real, but it is really felt.
By- Abhinavagupta

by~ Charles Dickens
Have a heart that never hardens,
and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.

Its a Fact:
Odd Facts about Charles Dickens :
1.OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE. Dickens was preoccupied with looking in the mirror and combing his hair - he did it hundreds of times a day. He rearranged furniture in his home - if it wasn't in the exact "correct" position, he couldn't concentrate. Obsessed with magnetic fields, Dickens made sure that every bed he slept in was aligned north-south. He had to touch certain objects three times for luck. He was obsessed with the need for tidiness, often cleaning other homes as well as his own.
2.Dickens gave every one of his ten children nicknames like "Skittles" and "Plorn."
3. Dickens suffered from epilepsy
4. Dicken's study had a secret door designed to look like a bookcase. The shelves were full of fake books with witty titles, such as Noah's Arkitecture and a nine-volume set titled Cat's Lives. One of his favorites was a multi-volume series called The Wisdom of Our Ancestors, dealing with subjects like ignorance, superstition, disease, and instruments of torture, and a companion book titled The Virtues of Our Ancestors, which was so narrow that the title had to be printed vertically.
