The above is my cheesy photo of a chocolate cookie entitled "Green Eyes Monster Cookie". I learned from other bloggers that when I don't have any interesting to write (actually I am not sure if anything I wrote was ever interesting ** heh heh **), I should post photos, just to keep my blog fresh which in turn drawing visitors to build up hit counter! I also read that some bloggers register comments such as, "Nice photos. I like what you wrote. You are so funny." or simply, "Hello from St. Louis." just to draw visitors from popular blogs to their blog. These bloggers were not sincere with their comments. Personally, I love getting comments but I would not sell my soul (i.e. remove the moderation feature) just to get comments. I appreciate those who cared enough to "jump thru the hoops" posting your comments. As far as "Followers", I wish I have more followers but I am happy just to have one Important Follower (i.e. Qaptain Qwerty), that is good enough for me! I noticed that one blogger has almost 800 followers (** wow **) and when he mentioned about his birthday celebration, he received about 65 comments (** wow **) wishing him Happy Birthday! I wonder what happened to the other 735 followers why they did not send him birthday wishes. Finally, since I have nothing important to write, "Orange" you glad I post these cheesy photos?
After posting two "Deep Thoughts" entries, I thought I should lighten my blog with these photos. I enjoy seeing the "face" each morning on my way to work. Whoever painted the "smiling face" on this tree, thank you for creating a little humor to start my day. The close-up photo above with the icicle hanging on the left makes the face looks like it was drooling. If you enjoy this face, check out a really cute blog, http://www.facesinplaces.blogspot.com/. "Faces in Place" is one of my daily must-see blogs.
Here is my Show and Tell weather report - freezing cold temperature, the proof is in the bottom photo showing the icicles hanging on the evergreen and the fresh snow on the ground from last night. You could tell that we have a very active backyard from the cute footprints of a rabbit, a bird and a cat or a small dog, on the fresh snow. Mind you, we don't live out in middle of nowhere farm land. Our backyard faces a rather busy street connecting the main road (MO-100) and secondary road, yet we have had the pleasure of "hosting" a fawn being born and a whole town of rabbits running around. (We provided shelter and food for both mother and child, but they never visited at Christmas nor even sent an email to say hi.) I thought the photo below of the snow on our half-dead apple tree looks like a frozen smile on a face of an old person. What do you think it looks like? This summer, we plan to cut down this tree and plant another one but we have not decided on what kind of tree. Any suggestions?I plan to go out later to a book sale at the library. I promise I will not make any new purchases without giving away the same quantity from my bookshelves. I probably should stop by the department store to get us new pillows. Perhaps I should spend a few more dollars to get the types that would provide therapeutic support. Any recommendations?I will be back later with additional reports. This is TOTA, signing off from a freezing cold Saturday morning in St. Louis!
Remember when mother said don't make faces or your face would be stuck that way? Here is proof that mother was right. Not sure if this "thing" on the tree looks like a face of an old person without teeth or a smiling lion without its mane. What does it look like to you? (Photos taken at Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis, Missouri - September 2008).
In future post I plan to write about the Taoists of ancient China regarding physiognomy, the study of a person's facial appearance as a means of determing personality and mood. It is believed that a person's inherited features are indications of characters. Furthermore, the person's future is reflected by some of the 108 features/spots on the person's face.
