Rainbows are made
of small raindrops.
Happy lives are made
from acts of kindness

Sunsets are so beautiful
that they almost seem as
if we were looking through
the gates of Heaven.

King of Drinks
He sits a moment,
on beverage cartons,
resting a moment,
catching his breath.

The street hums around him,
not seeing his small kingdom,
His throne of
bottles,
then he lifts a box again,
and the workday
keeps on moving.

  1. That's a hard-working Bottle King. Hadn't really thought about sunsets being a gateway to Heaven cuz I didn't know the Gate was on the horizon. Pixie looks like a Queen in her hammock. Linda in Kansas

  2. I love Pixie's ode to the Bottle King. Pixie herself is the Soft Bed Queen of Catnaps. Gorgeous rainbows, too.

  8. I LOVE the double rainbow. That Zig Ziglar quote is great and Pixie makes it true. I really like the King of Drinks. It's perfect for T this week, dear Cloudia and Pixie.

  11. Claudia, roasting coffee is not difficult. All you need is a West Bend popcorn air popper and green coffee beans that are always available on line or at some coffee shops. It takes about five minutes to get to second crack, which is a medium roast giving the best flavors. Those air poppers are sometimes available at thrift stores.

  15. Love the Rainbow-quote especially. And the King (hihi, my name translated is "Emperor" - my Dad, who was a business man always said, "We are the Emperor, but the customer is always the King!"). Happy T-Day! Aloha.

  17. He is the king of drinks for certain. And as always, what lovely skies. None of your recent heavy rains though. I hope the sun is back. Give Pixie a pat for me.

  18. What a beautiful red sky! Awesome!
    I love the Pixie photo. Handsome or what!
    And I like the King of the Bottles, having a 5 minute rest. Those boxes are heavy!
