The Pumpkin Patch

Autumn means pumpkins and pumpkins portend Halloween.

Liam (left) is six months younger than Cannon (right), yet they both are about the same height - and both are mesmerized by the Pumpkin Patch.

Cannon and his older brother Griffin (with their mother/my daughter Amanda) have a difficult time deciding which pumpkin would make the perfect jack-o-lantern.

darlin said...: LL your grandsons are so adorable! And now naturally I want to see the bonfire in the pumpkin! Boy philosophy is much more adventurous than girl philosophy, mind you my two sons instilled their beliefs upon their younger sister. Today she's adventurous and doesn't mind playing in the dirt... something like her Mom.

Have a fantastic week LL!; October 28, 2012 at 9:59 AM

Welcome to the Machine!

This blog has many elements and depending on your interests, may pique your imagination...or not. I urge you to be unreasonable. Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world. The unreasonable persist in trying to adapt the world to themselves, therefore all progress depends on unreasonable people. The more unreasonable you are, the more likely you are to enjoy this blog. All men dream, but not equally.

If you're a socialist or a Marxist, you'll find that I poke fun at your absurd notions of "good government" on a regular basis. So you might not wish to follow this blog because you'll be offended.

John Locke said, "One unerring mark of the love of truth is not entertaining any proposition with greater assurance than the proofs it is built upon will warrant." I like what Locke said. We can't theorize without adequate information because when we do we inevitably twist facts to suit theories rather than theories to suit facts. In this blog and in my life, I try to maintain this perspective.

Either you believe in our essential spark of shared divinity, or you succumb to our human insecurity. Either way your conscience lets you slice it, the main thing is to earnestly do what is right at the time.

This is My Journey.
