Quiet Day

There hasn't been to much going on today. We have had very very nice warm weather with the humidity way down. :c) Yep I know ours is way on the opposite of most of the rest of the US and Canada. And to be honest the warm "seasonless" weather is one of the things LW and I enjoy. First off it's not like the seasons or the weather never changes. Heck the raining season from July through Oct can really be mean. Hot in the high 90s (F) and humidity in the high 80 %. Dry season the temps are in the low 80s to high 70s (F) and the nights cool down into the low 60s-high 50s. And that is plenty cold thank you very much!! :c) The winter the southern states are having this winter sounds like the horrendous one all of Mexico had last winter. Like north this year there was snow in parts of Mexico that has never (can't remember at least) had snow :c( It was truly terrible for the very poor because things like Missions, soup kitchens, and homeless shelters are very rare here. In fact coats were collected a number of times last year to send to the needy in the central and coastal mountains. I hope that this year stays warmer for everyone here. Last year stayed so cold for so long it had a great effect on the local businesses that survive on the seasonal trade, there are many here that can't withstand another bad tourist year. :c(

If you are anything like I am, you are always on the lookout for cool clip art and you are all over it especially when it's free!! Yes??

The Velveteen Rabbit

What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?"
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"
"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
