T.Wayne invited me to take the challenge and now this is my final day…perhaps I should celebrate….so to start, here is a favorite quote that I found of all places on a 45$ bottle of wine. Now I’ve never met a grape I didn’t like and this bottle was amazing but I think that like many moments in life, specialness is where you want to find it and I found mine on the side of a lovely bottle with a wolf on it. The quote is here:
- Hillside vineyard
“I ride over my beautiful ranch. Between my legs is a beautiful horse. The air is wine.
The grapes on a score of rolling hills are red with autumn flame.
Across Sonoma mountain, wisps of sea fog are stealing. The afternoon sun smoldered in the drowsy sky. I have everything to make me glad I am alive….”
Jack London
Now damn, that is a beautiful piece of writing. Simple yet sets the mood as if you were mounted upon your steed-a fine Arabian stallion perhaps? To see the fields and colors through his eyes, now that is a bottle I will never forget. I want to be there in that moment, riding beside Jack London, experiencing everything as he saw it.
I am not selecting three bloggers as the rules say, but to anyone who wishes to join, the floor is yours my friends, just select three quotes in three days and nominate three bloggers to the challenge….my bad, I hate putting others on the spot.
This photo resembles the mountains minus the vineyards that I think would be the view….I love it and thought you would enjoy.
Namaste,
Kim
Thank you my friend, so glad you enjoyed them 😊 have a lovely day too, peace and blessings, Kim

My love for animals always made him a favorite. Still is and there’s still more I need to read…someday in retirement when my mind runs out of poems perhaps, glad I regenerated some happy memories for you😊🐕

“White Fang” was one of my son’s favorite books. Jack London was a great author from my elementary days. My teacher read aloud, “Call of the Wild,” every day after we came in from lunch and recess. 🙂

I love Jack London, have since I was a child…I couldn’t find the perfect pic but mountains with dusk like mist falling seemed to fit nicely. Thanks so much and I’m glad I could share a fun new quote.
Namaste, Kim
