Anniversary in Aquamarine & Peridot

For Mine.
Didn't the Bard put it this way, with love bleeding from his quill, "Love is merely a madness"... I agree; but in a dark house, he is my life's blood, my life's joy, my life's enrichment. And on a canvas lit with the moon on water, he is the reflection on my face. And thru love's eternal capture, I can only letter these scarce words on the edge of my voice... "To A -- Happy Sixteenth Work in Progress!"
Yours.

As yesterday was ours, today is ours -- a gathering spot on the horizon, ever always a new opening to each other.

Impromptu:
My life's draw
My life's answer
My life's indulgence
My life's duet
My life's refrain
My life's affection
My life's renewal
My life's atonement
My life's resonance
My life's alms
My life between the lines

Labrador Deceiver

Ladies and gentlemen: the story you are about to read is true. Only the names have been omitted to protect the innocent.

Sunday September 20th 4.00 AM. Large eighty-five pound dog wakes Master. Dog wants food. Dog is ignored. Dog tries his luck w/ Master number two. 7.00 AM. Master number one lets dog outside. Once back inside, dog indicates hunger. Master number one goes to feed dog. Master number two says, "No, I've fed the dog." Master number one dumps the food back in bucket. Calls the dog a Labrador Deceiver. Dog perplexed. Motions toward his bowl, with his big block head. Evidently, dog feels that Master number one has committed a terrible faux-paw.

On this date, the trial was held in the kitchen. The results of that hearing in a moment. A moment passed. Under the intense light of the bay windows, dog was unremorseful. Dog was convicted of perjury (pawjury?), but was given a suspended sentence.

Blogging the Drain

Meet Jude! He's much older than before, now equipped w/ flappy jowls and sassy attitude. Probably because he ate half a banana (peel & all) today; he devoured it w/ such alacrity that tails and paws were a flying blur. And we can only hope that he isn't blogged up.
