Anything you think he'd like, that would amuse, entertain or please. Post it here!

That cat doesn't look real happy with the dressing up.

I haven't even been able to do anything much on FB recently.

So throw those curtains wide
One day like this a year would see me right
Throw those curtains wide
One day like this a year would see me right

quote:

The Sun Rising

Busy old fool, unruly Sun,
Why dost thou thus,
Through windows, and through curtains, call on us?
Must to thy motions lovers' seasons run?
Saucy pedantic wretch, go chide
Late schoolboys, and sour prentices,
Go tell court-huntsmen that the king will ride,
Call country ants to harvest offices,
Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime,
Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.

Thy beams, so reverend and strong
Why shouldst thou think?
I could eclipse and cloud them with a wink,
But that I would not lose her sight so long:
If her eyes have not blinded thine,
Look, and tomorrow late, tell me
Whether both th' Indias of spice and mine
Be where thou leftst them, or lie here with me.
Ask for those kings whom thou saw'st yesterday,
And thou shalt hear: "All here in one bed lay."

She is all states, and all princes I,
Nothing else is.
Princes do but play us; compar'd to this,
All honour's mimic, all wealth alchemy.
Thou, sun, art half as happy 's we,
In that the world's contracted thus;
Thine age asks ease, and since thy duties be
To warm the world, that's done in warming us.
Shine here to us, and thou art everywhere;
This bed thy centre is, these walls, thy sphere.

-- John Donne

Now you get to choose.

Draw the curtains wide and welcome the Sun?

Or tell it to go hither, whilst we draw the curtains tighter?

Sorry. Earlier when I answered I was still at home and didn't have much time, so I didn't see all this.

Draw the curtains wide and welcome the Sun. As my fellow Cap Sun with Gemini Rising sang, "Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy." Not that moonlight doesn't make me equally happy. It does. I guess I'm just going with the ruler of this moment.

That hammock looks delightful. Would love to be there. Throw a few more clouds in the sky, and add a mellow breeze...would be perfect.

So throw those curtains wide!
One day like this a year would see me right
