I'm sitting here, on the hill in the back of the house.
Sitting in the sun with 4 of the dogs that share this land with me.
All of us enjoying the warmth.
It has been sooo cold here in sunny California, so for several weeks I haven't wanted to go out and nether have they. It's been cold and very dry here...
no rain at all in December, a very rare thing..

There are a zillion acorns on the ground but they are just opening up and drying out...
no opportunity to sprout....

The pass over the eastern slopes of the Sierras through Yosemite is still open....
no snow...
I can't remember it ever being open in January.
I heard, or read. that this nation should be spending our tax $$ figuring out how we will grow food on a warmer and climate shifting planet...
Seems it might be an issue.
Also seems that those who decide such things as how tax money is spent aren't giving it much thought.
Or maybe Monsanto has it covered.

365 Days doesn't sound like a lot and they go by in a blink.
I read somewhere that time seems to go by more quickly the older we get...
Children are all about the moment..about right now....
We adults are usually looking ahead or behind. Losing this time right now and saying things like, ''I wonder where the time went?''
....and here I sit wondering about the future and what I want to do with the coming 361.
I'm thinking with the way things are in the world I really want to get involved with Occupy or something political.
Occupy would mean trips to Fresno...
or I could try to start a movement here in the foothills....
I could sit at the corner of hwys 41 and 49 with my, "I'm the 99%" sign in front of
Chase Bank...
Chase Bank...
I wonder if anyone would join me?
Or I could do the Occupy Homes thing....sitting in front of homes being foreclosed on.....
Lord knows everyone up here knows someone who has gone to their mortgage holder to have their payments made more affordable only to have them raised and their home taken..
It's crazy and so very, very, wrong.
...but today it seems I am going to do little in any direction at all...
just be glad for this sunny day with my furry friends.

If you were able to look back at your most brilliant successes, stunning comebacks, amazing catches, and smokin' ideas, julie, and were to find that virtually all of them seemed to materialize out of thin air, when you least expected them, and that they had exceeded even your greatest expectations at the time, how excited would you be about the new year and whatever else I've go up my sleeve?
Hubba, hubba
The Universe
ps.....If I've ever helped you before, julie, don't you think I can do it again...
and again...and again...ad infinitum?
Actually, it ought to be even easier next time, with your new saunter.

I greatly fear Monsanto may have it covered.
Now that that negativity is out of the way, ... it hasn't been cold at all either, here in Oklahoma. This week has been in the 60's, next week looks like the 50's and I'm thinking it reminds me of California where I was the year before.
We're of like minds with Occupy Now. For me, it would mean a 3-hour drive at least or sitting on the highway with a sign where I more than likely would only hear bad words from those who pass by. I think what it all comes down to is finding hope and happiness in our own little niches of our own little worlds.
I totally understand your desire to "do something" in regards to the economy and the environment. We don't have the dire problems here in Canada with our economy, but we do have similar environment concerns AND we have a Prime Minister who seems to think global warming, etc., is all a fairy tale. How this man got into office again, I will never know. One really does develop a hunger to fight in some way, but then (for me anyway) it seems very daunting, not to mention frustrating.
So, like you, I will also count the next 361 days of this year, and will try and make each day the best I can - while staying warm for the next few months LOL
We were a frigid 2F last night here near Toronto, ON.
Rubye...
Thank you for commenting...I do have hope and happiness in my small world here..but all of us must feel the comfort of our worlds threatened on one level or another.
Sue..as another Canadian friend of mine says...the US and Canada are becoming more and more tied financially...just look at the pipeline in the works...We are coming for your oil too. I had to laugh the other night when I heard Rick Perry the Gov. of Texas say we here in the US should stop getting our oil from foreign lands and just get it from Canada...geez..what and idiot.
Stay warm dear Sue...brrrrrr.
