Trying to figure out how to embed a youtube video.....

Happy Monday, everyone. (Is there anyone out there, I wonder?) I am trying to figure out how to embed a lovely youtube video here. It is of the song playing on my playlist, with pretty lovely pictures accompanying. Now if only I could figure out how to show it here.....

Try the hyperlink.

Meanwhile, please enjoy the pretty picture above, from my lovely memories of gorgeous California.....

A spot in the sun.....

Topaz, enjoying a spot in the sun, interrupted by the camera, in the middle of his ablutions, on a lazy weekend day at home with Mom.

Speaking of lazy, I've been playing around all morning, and have some reading for school to do. Have a lovely week. :-)

Oh, and I'm starting a playlist. The song I'm starting with is hijacked from a blog called, "Labyrinth studio." I'd never heard the song before, and really like it. Enjoy!

Did You Know Cows Like to Eat Pumpkins?

I didn't know cows like to eat pumpkins until I saw these two cuties enjoying them, on a gorgeous October evening in New England. This is at a newly opened farm store in Hadley, MA. It is a dairy farm, and they sell only local products. It is a scenic location, and a nice place to visit. I buy their home-made cookies just about every week these days. I love the cows, and I loved seeing them enjoy their pumkins. :-)

Train Travel

One of the best parts of train travel was my attendant from Chicago to L.A., the longest leg of the journey. His name is Vincent. He was sweet and attentive throughout the trip. Sadly, he was not my attendant on the way back, though he was on the train, and I did get to see him now and then, including right before boarding, when I got overcome for a few minutes with sadness about leaving beautiful California and my brother and niece, with whom I had been having such a wonderful time. He was a sweetheart. I would love to do it all again next year, and if I do, I would love to have Vincent as my attendant.

Also above are my brother, Ed, and niece, Erica, she in her "Hooters" shirt. :-)
