Doo, doo, doo, looking out my back door, July 11, 2006. 111W 32N

[Ptah]

There's a giant doing cartwheels, a statue wearin' high heels
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn
A dinosaur Victrola list'ning to Buck Owens
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door





Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon
Bother me tomorrow, today I'll buy no sorrow
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door

1. and you're a fine photographer.

nice choice of lyrics.:toast:

[Ptah]

2. Thanks, joneschick.

The immediacy of the internets charge me up!

:hi:

[bertha katzenengel]

3. Is it weird to tell someone on line that you love them?

L., I just love the person who comes across in your posts. And I love that song.

Here's looking out my back door (38N, 77W)




and my front door . . .



:loveya:

[joneschick]

4. that kitten is just gorgeous

the other pics are wonderful too, but that last pic just made Daughter #2 "squeeeee!"

[bertha katzenengel]

12. How old is Daughter #2?

She may capture the photo, if she likes. :)

[joneschick]

15. she's 16

adorable, wonderful and wants to be tough as nails.

[bertha katzenengel]

16. I wish her luck.

I'm 43 and I ain't made it to "tough as nails" status yet.

If she's squeeing over kittens, I dunno about her chances . . . ;)

[Ptah]

5. You know why I love you.

The way you reached out to me that memorial day
clinched it.

I owe you bunches.

:loveya: :hug: :pals: :yourock: :blush:

[bertha katzenengel]

11. You owe me nothing, sweetheart.

You have a special place in my heart. I hope we never lose touch. :loveya:

(:blush: ? ;))

[Ptah]

14. I was just now thinking how that was not what I meant to say.

You have my attention.

I am grateful for what you did for me.
I hope sometime I will be able to return the favor.

I've been told I look like Donald Rumsfeld.



What do you think?

[bertha katzenengel]

17. Somehow I knew that's what you meant, but didn't know how else

to articulate a response.

Donald Rumsfeld? No, it's clear that you have a heart. Heartless people are ugly, cold, and evil. You can tell them by their looks. You can tell it from infancy. Prick was born that way.

A man who takes a wild shot at a total stranger doing him a favor in DC -- that man has a heart. It shows a lot of courage and hope.

:pals:

Hi Bertha,

Nope it's not weird at all.

I see that super cute kitten,again!

He has the greatest expressions.:7

[bertha katzenengel]

13. Isn't she sweet? I named her Peaches.

Her grandmama was also a dilute tortoiseshell, and we named her Patches. I wanted to remember Patches, but I can't reuse her name. She was too special.

So this little one is Peaches.

Hey, L. - sorry for jacking the thread. :hi:

[u4ic]

22. bertha, those photos

are wonderful!

That second pic is a riot! "Bird moons squirrel" :rofl:

[wildhorses]

6. thanks for the glimpse "looking out your back door"

Bertha and Ptah...makes me feel kinda neighborly...
:hug::hug:

[Ptah]

9. Welcome to the hug.

Your locking morning was fascinating.

I was reminded of my youth, holding on to a horse
as she galloped, barely holding on, hoping I didn't fall,
thrilling at the drive in that mare.

Thanks for the rush.

And I hope Bertha will join me in a group hug:

:grouphug: :applause:

[wildhorses]

26. ..........

:blush:


the wildhorses stampeded through the Lounge didn't they?

[Kajsa]

7. Great photos, Ptah,

And I just love those lyrics.

I'm taking a wild guess;

Seattle?

[Ptah]

8. Tucson, Arizona

I could never get used to the humidity in the Northwest.

:hi:

[Kajsa]

10. Wow, I was off by many,many miles.

I use to live in Seattle.
One thing I remember is the triple digit street addresses.

You're right, if humidity( and rain) gets to you, Seattle is not the place to be

.:D :hi:

[Ptah]

18. What a Wimpy thread.

Peggy didn't even say hi.

:cry: :cry: :cry:

[CaliforniaPeggy]
