Dangers of leaving messages dangling.

Ah, decoding the mysteries that hang silently like sharks lurking just below the lovely sea viewed by the unsuspecting…

No doubt there will be a demand for an impartial investigation

Obviously passive aggressive:

“The nerve! Cats dressed like Staff?” Absurd. An insult!” RC Cat is demanding answers. (Image: © )

Someone shall pay for that one.

Obsessed with detailing here? (Ignore the horsing around)

Then there’s one encouraging endless optimism: inspiring a positive stance

Bring on the wide open spaces. Memories can moo away cloudy thoughts avoiding a dust-up. (Image: ©)

That always looking up no matter what – demonstrating, without shouting, to be happy where you hang out and to simply carry your heart and memories along wherever you end up.

Perky attitude adjustments hang best in smaller doses than endless barrage of updated holiday songs, right?

Holidays often brings out distant relatives like flies, but it’s tradition to have to put up with family.

That includes a message of tolerating the odd, eccentric ones who really aren’t angels. 

Have to kiss a bunch of those, they say. Flu season, harassment, or not. It’s the holidays: kiss-kiss, hug-hug . (Image: ©)

You know how it goes.

Once people notice it’s not just decoration, the lights will come on.

There will be rants about the need for tree neutrality and openness to all ensuring free speech (as long as it meets guidelines and doesn’t annoy or irritate anyone.)

Still in the night bright, the trees outdoors may be getting organized to shine above all…

MIT has created living plants that glow like a lamp. Glowing trees could replace streetlights and reduce our dependence on electricity? (Story here.) 

Hmmm, modified plants. If you won’t eat GMO foods, would you let you children climb into them or sit among them? (Cue “X Files”/”Twilight Zone” music)

Some marketing firm must have approached Mother Nature with this idea for tree improvement and updating. Don’t worry she’s been around long enough to know you can’t trust some people and some things aren’t as exactly as advertised. She has designs of her own.

Keeping up with the buzz.

Despite recent snow, this young Queen palm in a sheltered spot offers a gift in the holiday spirit: flowering blooms which is just what the honey bees desperately need in preparation for the freeing weather expected this weekend. Over a dozen bees were grateful when this picture was taken. Of course, in the true spirit of giving, the tree was happy without news media shouting of her generosity. (Image: ©)
