And now for something completely different!*
Roadside Reminder
Love Bugs in rainbow colors
in a bizarre roadside tower
(like kindergarten blocks
piled in a precarious stack)
make me wonder
if some folks--
where they should have brains--
instead have rocks!
(and good sense they quite obviously lack).
Then I smile at the whimsy
of these creative folks
(who stack cars by the road like blocks),
and I'm grateful they're around
to make me laugh
and remind me
that sometimes it does us good
to approach life from a different angle
and go off on the unbeaten track.
*with a small nod to Monty Python's Flying Circus fans everywhere
Great picture! I hope you find the perfect house.
ReplyDeleteI love these kinds of cars... my favorite one would be a lime green one... I think it is great when we can see life from a different angle... it can help us to grow.
ReplyDeleteI hope you find another house soon and I hope it is even better then you dreamed :)
Oh no! That's so disappointing. Good luck with your continuing search.
ReplyDeleteAnother fun poem and photo, though :)
Another great poem and It makes me happy to see you have that kind of attitude about it all. Wishing You All the best of luck. Thanks for making my day. Hugs, Susie
ReplyDeleteHouse hunting is such an emotionally draining activity. We've only gone through the process once but there were multiple houses that we wanted, offered on, and lost, and I can vaguely remember that feeling after I'd already mentally moved us in! Starting over is very hard but I'm glad, in the end, because we ended up where we were meant to be... here at Crow Cottage.
ReplyDeletePraying for the Lord to lead you to a perfect home.
ReplyDeleteLove the poem and the colorful bugs!
WOW!! These would make a person take a second look for sure!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the house, but maybe it's for the best...
Love the cars! Hope you are able to get the home you will love!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Betty! I appreciate your comment and visit to my blog. :)
DeleteI know quite a few people who'd appreciate this whimsical tower, so you're right about the variations in"creativity" , or even the differences in appreciation of such "art'. I like it, it made me smile.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to read you didn't get your house, but there is a perfect HOME for you after more searching.I hope you don't get discouraged. It can even be fun being a "looky-lou" !
So sorry for your latest setback ---but I'm sure that that means that something even much better will come along. Prayers for your search.
ReplyDeleteFunny about the VW Bugs all piled on top of each other... Not sure how I feel about that --but it did make me smile....
Hugs,
Betsy
As my Grandma would say,"Now that's a sight!" Praying for the very best situation for your house hunt!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Daisy, very beautiful poem. And good luck finding the new house.
ReplyDeleteI'm wired to love stacked VWs. Before I dismantled the installation in my back yard, there were approximately 150 clocks. :)))) And doors and windows installed waaaaaay up in the treetops.
ReplyDeleteThe right house that is right for you will appear at the right time. xoxo
Daisy, for the two steps backwards.... love those bugs. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the house, Daisy, but as folks say things DO sometimes happen for a reason and that could mean the right home will come along. ENjoyed the poem and especially the photo!
ReplyDeleteThanks all! I do feel that things will work out for the best for us in our house hunt.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you all liked the stacked VWs photo. I thought it was amusing to see. :-)
Love the funny pic & Your wonderful poem! Best wishes on finding the home best for you & your family.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Myrna! :-)
DeleteSorry about the house- but I'll bet the perfect one will come along soon and you will be so happy that this deal fell through!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Terri! We have found another, and we really love it. We are still working out the details, though, so we will see. :)
