My Creator, today grant me the wisdom to seek Your wisdom. Help me to Walk of the Red Road.

And last but not least there are the dogs~ Taco and Montana



I think they're saying~ "Please, no photographs, can't a dog even get some rest?"

And the cats, Mt. Tish and Sparkle~



Before I leave for today here is Wordsmith's word of the day~

This week's theme: words for odds and ends.

gnomon (NO-mon) noun

   1. The raised arm of a sundial that indicates the time of day by its shadow.

   2. The remaining part of a parallelogram after a similar smaller parallelogram has been taken away from one of the corners.

[From Latin gnomon (pointer), from Greek gnomon (interpreter), from gignoskein, to know. Ultimately from the Indo-European root gno- (to know) that is also the root of knowledge, prognosis, ignore, narrate, and normal.]
-Ann Garg (words at wordsmith.org)

  "Eighty-six years in the making, one of the world's largest sundials has finally been installed at Place de la   Concorde, as part of the Year 2000 festivities of the City of Paris. It takes an approach more cerebral than
   celebratory. The sundial's pointer, or gnomon, is the 109-foot Obelisk of Luxor. Its base is the northern half of Place de la Concorde." Rose Marie Burke; Sundial Aids Millennium Countdown; The Wall Street
   Journal (New York); Oct 26, 1999.
