And now to segue into hedge-apples, the brainy looking product of the Osage Orange Tree...

for more about hedge-apples: http://hedgeapple.com/

This time of year you can find them along roadsides....get at least ten for your house!

This one is on the back of my commode, but I usually place them in bowls hidden in the corners of all my rooms...

See them hanging from the tree? 

They will repel spiders for about 4 months.  Mice aren't too keen on them either, so I  place one on each side of my garage door...The fresh green will turn brown and will become hard in the bowls.  

Toss them or compost them.

Wrestlin' With A Heart Attack

Blond and blue eyed in her jeans, gripping the wheel of her jeep,

Casting her eyes down my way, making my heart leap.

She passes by smiling, and tapping the horn, it beeps.

I’m on the side lines

with high hopes she’ll notice me.

Wrestlin’ with my heart, she hamstrings  me.

       I                                            that.

wrangle             wrangle

this, and

I’m                                  that.

all                        gine

a-twist. Ima-

~

 Hallways are crowded, yet I feel alone of all things.

Books by her desk, she grabs her bag by its purse strings.

She stops to talk, and I am saved by the bell, it rings.

I’m on the side lines

with high hopes she’ll notice me.

Wrestlin’ with my heart, she hamstrings  me.

  I                                            that.

wrangle             wrangle

this, and

I’m                                  that.

all                        gine

a-twist. Ima-

~

I’m wrestling with a love attack.

She has me up against my back

She’s tied my heart.  There is no slack.

My hope is, she’ll notice me.

Wrestlin’ with my heart, she hamstrings  me.

 I                                            that.

wrangle             wrangle

this, and

I’m                                  that.

all                        gine

a-twist. Ima-

I’m wrestling with a love attack.

She has me up against my back

She’s tied my heart.  There is no slack.

My hope is, she’ll notice me.

Wrestlin’ with my heart, she hamstrings  me.

(mixed)

So wrangle this, and wrangle that.

I think I’m whipped,

She’s tied my heart.

There’s no going back.

Obsession

Participating in ABC Wednesday - letter O. Be sure to check ou the other participants!

Never been sure what qualifies as "New Age" music, but this seems to defy any other genre so I'm calling it a New Age instrumental ♫♪

1. You are my future.

My past has been banned.

I see us together,

it’s all in my plan.

2. You hold my future.

At last you are mine.

We’ll grow old together.

We’ll have all the time.

Refrain:

Obsession is how I exist.

I live for your touch and your kiss.

3. Preoccupation is

fogging my mind.

My fragmented dreaming is

my treasure find.

Refrain

Stirring echoes of my dreams,

You are my theme

in the extreme.

4. You have your  own future.

I’m not involved.

Unfortunate timing,

my heart’s being dissolved.

Obsession is all that I have.

And that’s all I’ll take

to my grave.

Do folks commit this verse to memory anymore?  It used to be standard♫
Here's my meditation instrumental that follows the words of the 23rd Psalm.  Hope you enjoy.

The Lord is my shepherd

I shall not want

He makes me lie down in green pastures;

He leads me beside still waters.

He restores my soul.

He guides me in the paths of righteousness

for His name’s sake.

Even though I walk through

the valley of the shadow of death

I fear no evil.

Thou art with me.

Thy rod and staff, they comfort me.

Thou dost prepare a table

in the presence of mine enemies.

Thou hast anointed my head with oil;

my cup o’er flows.

Surely goodness and mercy (loving kindness)

will follow me all the days of my life,

and I’ll dwell in the house the Lord,

dwell in the house of the Lord

forever

Nothin' Serious

A shy little love song for your consideration♫

Sung by daughter Angela

Participating in ABC WEDNESDAY letter N...check out other N posts!

Let me know if you can't get the music to play....May have to pull the cursor to the right to get it to load, it is kinda twitchy!

 I’m just a little bit in love with you

And I’m telling you it’s tweakin’ my heart,

Telling me to pay attention.

I won’t allow anything at all to happen.

 Just because you are a little on my mind

I can tell you that it’s nudgin’ my heart,

Causing just a small distraction.

I won’t allow anything at all to happen.

Foreign feelings are so appealing but

I’m tellin’ you I have everything under

my control, it’s nothin’ serious,

Nothin’ serious.

Just because I try to get close to

Steal a whiff of your skin, it’s nothin’ serious,

Nothin’ serious.

I am just a little bit in love with all you are

But I can keep it to myself and

Bother you not at all.

Nothin’ serious, nothin’ serious.

 I’m just a little bit in love with you

And I’m telling you it’s tweakin’ my heart,

Telling me to pay attention.

I won’t allow anything at all to happen.

I can’t ignore all your charm you seem to share

But I’m telling you it’s winning my heart,

I have made my own decision.

I won’t allow anything at all to happen.

Foreign feelings are so appealing but

I’m tellin’ you I have everything under

my control, it’s nothin’ serious,

Nothin’ serious.

There’s little bits of you lodging in my brain

But I say again it’s nothin’ serious,

Nothin’ serious.

Untame-able: Adamastos

Already at the letter U!
Participating in Alphabe-Thursday
For more on the letter U click on the link...
The audio is sometimes twitchy....you may have to move the cursor all the way to the right to get it started.
Some time ago, Martha Stewart's Living Magazine had a snippet about the word Adamastos, just sounds so elegant♫
Wikipedia: from the Greek word for 'Untamed'  or 'Untameable' (Adamastos).
Intrigued, I made up a tune and words, however it is quite repetitive.

Adamastos

1. Never give up on love

Fragile is it made of

Hunger and thirst for love

Make it your quest to love

Try to persist for love

Reach for it from above

Lessons are learned from love

Do not resist the love

~

2. Adamastos my love

Symbolized as a dove

Endurance will evolve

As you commit to love

World without end, my love

Pursue this goal for love

Lessons are learned from love

Do not resist the love

Love will be the final answer

All that’s left when

Worlds come crashing around our towering lives.

We think that climbing the wall to success

Is all this life offers us

Never give in and don’t you ever give up on love

I’m counting on you to follow

All of your heart’s desire.

Never give up on love

Fragile it is made of

Adamastos defines the

Dogged response desired

Never give up

Depend on opening up

Your heart to love

One love. All love to love.

~

3. Never give up on love

Fragile is it made of

Hunger and thirst for love

Make it your quest to love

Try to persist for love

Reach for it from above

Lessons are learned from love

Do not resist the love.

~

Adamastos.

Motivations♫

Another instrumental...

a bit on the murky side since the beat over shadows the lyric lines, but hopefully you get the idea♫♪

(sometimes the audio needs to 'load' so move the curser all the way to the right if you have a problem)

For ABC WEDNESDAY letter M

Motivations, motivations.

You

need to examine your ideals

And motivations.

Do you

want a wife to your share your meals

and shoulder your financial deals?

Do you

See me as your obligation?

For motivation?

Am I

Some sort of duty to fulfill

Or are your feelings for me real?

Chorus:

Here’s the thing

I’m in the program.

I can see that it’s true.

I like who I am when I’m around you.

I’m convinced by your clean slate eyes,

(Motivations)

Love is the reason that I’m in your life.

Maybe

You like to have me ‘round for fun~

Your motivation.

My

Past does not seem to interfere

With your intentions that is clear.

Chorus

Motivations

Chorus (2X)
