((what's All Mixed Up?

this post.

massage.  bones. spider web. bugs.))

~have fun~

today sam and i are taking the camper over to Neptune Beach...

east of Jacksonville....and north of
Jacksonville Beach.  it's only about a 2 hour drive,

but we decided to spend the night!

i'm taking a continuing ed. class in REIKI for my massage license. 

(Reiki - energy healing. you can learn more from Caring Palms.)

(by the way...if you're ever in that area...check out Caring Palms...

either for a massage...or for Reiki class.)

anyway, while i'm in class...

sam will hunt for a campsite!!

Massage is the study of anatomy in Braille.

................................................................................................

and here's another BoNE dOOdle i did last week.

sam came up with that name, which i thought was pretty cool! 

doodling...but not with a pen or pencil...

but with BoNES!

made of raccoon, armadillo and deer bones. this was BoNE dOOdle #4.

Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust - 

we all dance to a mysterious tune, 

intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.  

~Albert Einstein, in The Saturday Evening Post, 26 October 1929 

NOW take a look at this SPIDERWEB...front yard...facing west...

as the sun was slowly going down...it lit up...sparkling...glimmering...

you couldn't miss it!  and it's HUGE!!  (banana spider's web)

that may LOOK fake...it's october...we're getting ready for Halloween...

nope! it's for real!!

The nastiest things they saw were the cobwebs: 

dark dense cobwebs with threads extraordinarily thick, 

often stretched from tree to tree, 

or tangled in the lower branches on either side of them . 

~from The Hobbit, JRR Tolkien

and lastly...2 more pictures!!  

a picture of this strange looking bug i took across the street...in the field...

looks like a cross between...a spider...and...a grasshopper????
