Every parting is a form of death, as every reunion is a type of heaven.
~ Tryon Edwards (American – Theologian / August 7, 1809 – January 4, 1894)
Today was my sister’s birthday. Being at the trailer I was unable to upload pictures. Here’s a slideshow of us celebrating other occasions together. I hope she had a wonderful day.
The things we know best are the things we haven’t been taught.
~ Luc de Clapiers (French – Writer / August 6, 1715 – May 28, 1747)
Passions arise from the heart. We endevour to grow our passions. We learn every thing we can about our passions. Lessons may give us the nuts and bolts of how to do something, but passion and intuition perfect the art forms.
Study as if you were going to live forever;
live as if you were going to die tomorrow.
~ Maria Mitchell (American – Scientist August 1, 1818 – June 28, 1889)

Many flowers put all their energy into a 1 day bloom. Okra is one of these. It has beautiful yellow flowers for just 1 day. Then 5 days later the fruit is ready to pick and eat.
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again,
this time more intelligently.
~ Henry Ford (American – Businessman / July 30, 1863 – April 7, 1947)
(Jewish Holiday)
Judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgement.
~ Simon Bolivar (Venezuelan – Revolutionary / July 24, 1783 – December 17, 1830)
Zeal is very blind, or badly regulated,
when it encroaches upon the rights of others.
~ Pasquier Quesnel (French – Theologian / July 14, 1634 – December 2, 1719)

Freedom in the USA has become the mantra of Americans that refuse to wear a mask in public to help reduce the chance of spreading COVID-19. Hoax is the other call of the Americans that refuse to believe the COVID-19 numbers as those testing positive are reaching daily records of over 15,000 in Florida alone and the Intensive Care units in hospitals reach capacity. USA is still #1 for confirmed cases of COVID-19.
Ontario numbers are dropping and restrictions are being relaxed we are entering Stage 3 (groups of 100 are permitted outdoors and groups of 50 indoors). Canadians are imploring the government to keep the Canada-USA border closed and to not permit the COVID-19 exposed/infected Americans into Canada. One newspaper actually predicted that the boarder won’t be open for at least a year for tourists.

Black and white is abstract; color is not.
Looking at a black and white photograph,
you are already looking at a strange world.
~ Joel Sternfeld (American – Photographer / Born: June 30, 1944)
Truth is always exciting.
Speak it, then; life is dull without it.
~ Pearl S. Buck (American – Novelist / June 26, 1892 – March 6, 1973)
