Habi- thoughts

It's a quiet morning and I am catching up a bit on the computer and finding that my mouse keeps sticking... mouse troubles, haven't had to deal with those very much. Then I had a whacky thought- more like a memory of mice, actually hamsters- does anyone remember those old habi-trails the hamsters had? where they easily used to chew their way through? That must have been back in the 70's or early 80's and mom's everywhere were screaming in the kitchens when they spotted the loose hamsters scurrying about. Everyone who had one back then had to deal with at least one break out. LOL
But the hamsters are so cute. Especially when they stuff their cheeks so full they look about as wide as they are long. How do they hold it all? :)
Back to this silly computer mouse, looks like I'll be needing a trip to the electronics department soon for a new one. Can't dismantle it and clean the ball like the old ones, no this is laser or optics or some special thing that just glows at me and says- "no you can't fix me!" LOL

I recall
meadows filled with wild flowers
the hum of beehives
 the crackle of the skies
thunder under my feet
black sand on grey days
black waters so deep
blue skies
the smell of fog
the stillness of snow falling

Parsley sage, rosemary, and thyme.... LOL funny how a song can last in memories for so many years. Music can be truly timeless. I love it.

Well, I watched the food channel and actually watched my first Julia Childs show where she taught everyone how to succeed at a "fabulous" outdoor BBQ, in it she explained how to make homemade Pita bread and she ended the show with a quip, "Once you eat these you'll never want the store bought rubber ones anymore" Sooo yesterday being slow as it was I decided to try her recipe and sure enough!!!! They were a wonderful success and I will never compare them to store bought again! Fun to make and a success throughout the entire family! So cool! I highly recommend them if you have the time!
