What if you scattered your love as freely as Johnny Appleseed?!

Love Is Not Enough
Author: siggyLove Is very complicated. Sure you need to have a healthy respect of yourself but that is not enough. You have to expose yourself to the maximum mot holding anything back, expecting nothing in return. Otherwise, if you can’t do that, it is manipulation. Of course, you’ve got to proceed at a pace both of you are comfortable with. Nevertheless, if you expect something in return it’s manipulation. Sure, sometimes you have to proceed slowly. Each man or woman is different. During this process you have to forget about yourself and give without expecting anything in return. And Each woman or man must do this slowly. There’s no magic about it. Each person is different. You have to be genuine. You have to give it away with no expectations. There is no other way. It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved. That’s the only way it goes.

Three Days From Official Season Spring
Author: siggyIt is only three days from spring. This week we got a late winter storm. I am curious how long it would take for all the snow to melt. There is still quite a bit still on the ground and the next week it will be warmer but not too much warmer. Will all the snow be gone in another week. We will see.

I Actually Took Two Layors Of Clothing Off
Author: siggyI actually took two layers of clothing off when I was outside. Spring is two days plus four weeks away. I checked the eight day forecast–every day was the fifties and sixties. I could not believe it. We only had one extended freeze this winter. Is there any more cold weather in the future. And snow?! What a warm winter so far!

Reunion

9/9/16
I am going to a 50th high school reunion. Approximately eighty people will be there from my class. Of that class, there are two who I have kept in contact through the years although for thirty years I lost contact with one. That is a real gift to have at least two people (other than family) in your life who you have a history with, who know you since you were a child. I treasure these two relationships. When you make friends with me, it is for life. Yours. Or mine.
Scotty Brown I, too, hope to attend a 50th next summer. I have maintained friendship over the years with a handful of originals. I have lost touch with a couple, but think fondly of them. Have learned to know some others over the years, who I did not hardly know in school! Have a great time, Siggy
Siggy J. David The reason I never made more friends later from my high school I moved twice–the last time out of state

Susan Cranwell Osgood You’ve got a lot of friends here in Perry County. We’ve been friends for over fifteen years. Thanks for the birthday card. Can’t believe another year has gone by. Love Sue 1.44 p.m.
Mark A. Davis Hey Siggy! Facebook makes our world small, rarely go on Facebook, might post via another site, yet this came into in-box so I’m here, queer, and crazy, too! High school friends are lasting. Many feel like when we talk after ten or two years, it feels like yesterday. Enjoy the moments from a special bond from our youth. Yet, 50th already? Wow! Doing math in head, not good at it then and certainly not now. It’s in 8 years, 2024. For the 20th anniversary walking in noticing shocked looks on classmates. Long story short rumors went from living with HIV to DEAD. Literally, there in front of them alive in living color. Gave myself award for coming back the longest distance beating Leta from Alaska. LOL Again, enjoy, reflect, enjoy more, etc. AND YES, WHEN MEETING YOU IT IS A FRIENDSHIP FOR LIFE!

Coco

Coco, Tilla’s (two of my dogs) sister is quite different than him. She is this black midsized long haired dog with the most adorable fluffy ears. I swear she knows she is cute. She likes to observe things first. She sometimes is the first one to bed down an hour before I do. She can be quite insistent. When all three dogs are out,. she will be the first one to bark and bark to come in. She sometimes will lie down paws crossed like a prim and proper lady. She likes her privacy: She will occasionally go to another room to be by herself. When she is happy, she will slowly swish her tail back and forth. I love her dearly.
Scotty Brown A proper lady does value her privacy.

Siggy J. David She is all lady and quite insistent and stubborn but at the same time very lovable. I know I have her for a season.

The Birds In My Backyard And The Dawn
Author: siggy
The dawn is only an hour away. I can not wait to see the first chickadees come to my feeders. They never fail to delight me. I am always thrilled by the magnificent red-bellied woodpeckers who come to feed on the suet I have put out near the trunk of the large pine tree outside my large living room window.
The downy woodpeckers come during the day. They seem to stand at attention as they feed and go around the trunk of the tree. The occasional cardinals who feed on the ground are very wary. The beautiful bright red male cardinal never fails to delight me, too.
Every once in awhile I see a brown creeper. And the many goldfinch who love the thistle I put out for them. They will sit at the feeder for five minutes eating the thistle. Often there will be a dozen feeding on the ground. I can not wait for the males to turn yellow again. Before, I rarely saw them. Now they have become commonplace. Maybe, now I take them for granted. The slate covered junco come in flocks and might have gone away.
These are the more common birds I see out of my window every day but I never know when I will be surprised. I am waiting to see if I see any flocks of indigo buntings. They are such beautiful birds who I only see a few times a year.
There are also the piliated woodpeckers. I usually hear them not see them. Their wild cackle is unmistakable and when I am lucky I actually spot one with its large long red crown. It is such an exotic looking bird over a foot long. I never forgot the first one I spotted outside my house. I had to run into the house to grab my binoculars to get a good look at it. It was over a hundred feet away perched on a stump. I absolutely love birds. I have all my life. I guess you got that idea.
Matt Miskie I love birds too Siggy J. David – I had a number of great events at the bird feeders this year – first – late in the winter a pair of bluebirds were regulars – this is unusual because my location is really not typical bluebird territory – we had more variety of woodpeckers than usual, but the biggest surprise was when a rose breasted gross beak came and spent about 20 minutes at the feeder in early spring. Between the bird feeders and the butterfly bushes i have all of the entertainment i will ever need 🙂 Thanks for your posts.

Summer is fading quickly
Author: siggySeptember 7, 2016, 12:32 p.m. (Facebook):
Summer is fading quickly: black eyed susans now are frayed and tattered. I enjoyed looking at them for a long time. Today I counted twelve morning glories–a new record. There were four different kinds–one light purple and a deeper purple and two white ones–one completely white and another white with narrow pale pink bars radiating from the center. A few hours after I viewed them they were closed. Their flowers, as far as I can tell, bloom only once. I put out new nectar today for the hummingbirds fully aware sometime soon they will stop coming and take their long journey to warmer climes. I always wonder if the one I see today will be the last one of the season. I am waiting for the flocks of small blackbirds that come through our area twice a year–in spring and fall. Our weather is always characterized by change. Nothing stays the same way forever,
