Wonderful God,

it has been a good day.

The gateways of morning and now evening

have shone with golden sunlight

and sung with windy joy.

You have watered the earth twice -

once with gentleness, once with hail!

The pastures of the wilderness overflow;

the hills gird themselves with joy;

the meadows clothe themselves with flocks;

the valleys deck themselves with grain;

they shout and sing together for joy.

There has been good food to eat

and someone to share it with.

It has been a good day.

I know that in all of this I am blessed by you.

Thank you.

         

 Puppy catching ball,
elf in the wind, ski-jumper -
     cloud shapes passing by.

SPAM-ku....
One last piece of SPAM.
Eggs? Salad? Pasta? Sandwich?
        What to do? What to.....

So that wraps up SPAM week for another year, boys and girls. Hope you enjoyed it - the week and the SPAM!  And did you know there is Maple SPAM?

 After two weeks it's

deer one, potatoes zero -

        the garden at camp. 

We need a fence - or more chicken wire!  I don't under3stand why there is this whole field of leaves and the deer eat the potato plants!

 

SPAM-ku - 

For Friday fish fry -

Cajun Panko grilled salmon.

       But tomorrow - SPAM! 

(Cajun Panko grilled SPAM?  Maybe.) 

 

 

 

A walk by the lake,

an evening reading a book -

      both are calling me.

 

And a SPAM-ku for today-

Pizza crust with sauce, 

onions, peppers, olives, cheese -

       SPAM sizzling on top! 

 Brilliant red sunset

fades to pink, to grey, to black

      as time goes by - night!

 

And SPAM-ku for the day -

   SPAM and Colby cubes,

   bar-b-que sauce, and toothpicks -

        laid out on Limoges. 

 

White clouds in blue sky,

Green trees around blue water -

      driving by Teal Lake. 

 

and

Baked beans, salsa, chips,

potato salad - no SPAM?!?!

     quick trip to the store! 

Below trees and shrubs,
a wide expanse of green grass -
       one rabbit munching.

 

Then -

Wrapped in golden crust -
Potatoes, onions, cheese, SPAM.
      - July 5 Pasty!

Ok - a day late, what with yesterday being Sunday and somehow it had slipped off my calendar that SPAM was introduced on July 5.  But SPAM Week is off and running!
