The Camera Sees what the Blind cannot

Last night my dog Tasha started barking in the yard at midnight.  Tasha is a 9 pound Pomerianan  and thinks she is a mastiff. She has her own door to go out when needed.  But I do not let her bark for more than a minute or two, for the neighbors sake.  She gets to “protect” the house from all those terrible stray cats, and the other night life, but only for that two minutes before I get her back in and in she stays.

But last night the bark was the “Mean” bark.  Something was out there that is not normal.  I went out immediately.  Keep in mind I cant see her in the yard, I can only go by sound.  There is a light on the building behind us, but that only lights up the top of the fence.

The way I see, is the outside part of my eye.  I saw movement on the phone pole in the corner of the yard.  I thought it was a possum.  We have had possums problems for the 16 years I have been in this house.  But never on the pole.

I finally managed to scoop her up, get her in and lock her door.  I got my camera and took about 20 pictures in the dark, pointing at movement. not sure what I was getting.

It is always like Xmas morning when I download my  camera to the computer

Open Your Eyes, Its Christmas

My Christmas tree is up, I even have two trees.   The big does have a big “bulb” blind spot.  I missed an area.  And I have several of the same ornament next to each other.  Of well.  I love the decorating of the Tree and sitting in the dark with the lights  blinking.

At Christmas, more than any other time, I “look” at all that I have.  Which is alot, I have really great friends, wonderful Family, I have fun with everything I do and I love good Food,

I’m not the most religious person around, but that too is okay with me.  I am happy with myself.  As I open my eyess I see the good the season brings.  Yes I know there are bad people out there  and not every thing is “Cherry and Fun”, but for this time of the year I can believe that it is.

Blonde leading the Blind

Today is the Blondes birthday.  From day one that the Cannolli Sisters became the blone (Theresa) leading  the Bllind (me)  things in life changed.  She is still blonde, and I am still blind, but Life is good and today everything will be a little bit better….Thank you very much Red Peters.

Capable and Not Capable

I actually do alot of things.  I still pack occasionally. for those who are forwarded on to me..  I have the knowlledge to put the items in paper, in a box, and they do not break.

I so a newsletter for a club, and still make mistakes, but for the most part it is informative and current.

I do ride my bicycle around town.  i used to drive a truck, and know to check around me for cars, driveways,  ins and outs.

When I go somewhere unfamiliar, I take my cane.  I rely on those I’m with not to let me walk into a glass window. (It has been done).

But when there is a situation that I  feel I am not capable of doing.  I dont.

Denial

Recently,  I went to the beach with a wonderful group of ladies.  One of which has the same eye problem as myself.  She is a bit older and from the “old world” and didnt want anyone to know.  I use my “blind” cane, when I am in unfamiliar areas or when we will be in a large crowd.

I took it with us to the beach.  We planned on walking the city scape after lunch.

As we walked up the treet, which was crowded, people did move  out of my way.  and No I wasnt swinging it like a club. haha.  The next day she asked me id I dould do whatever I do on the computer and get her one.

And yes I did.  I am not sure if she is using it or not… But the thought is there..

Open your minds to new ideas, no matter how you feel about them.
