I took this photo today at about 11:35 a. m. with my camera pointed straight up at the sun. It was so bright and dazzling, I didn’t know if the picture even turned out, but this is what I got. The white hot sunlight throwing rays of light through the bare branches of our tree, all against the clear blue sky.

This is a disposable lighter flame/light.
It was not easy to take this photo, because keeping the flame burning with my right hand, I had to try to take the picture with my left hand on the phone camera.
Have you ever gone to a concert, and to show your appreciation for the musicians and the songs they play, everyone holds up a lit lighter? I have. It’s pretty cool. But the last ones we attended, instead of lighters, people just held up their phones that were lit up. How times change.
Today’s prompt comes to us compliments of Saumya. Thank you so much, Saumya!
Your prompt for JusJoJan January 26th, 2020, is “busy.” Use the word “busy” any way you’d like. Enjoy!

Today our prompt word is ‘busy’,
I guess we were a little busy today, as we went out to eat at lunch time, then to the grocery store. But, that’s a normal kind of day, so maybe not that busy.
Busy sounds like Buzzy a little bit. Reminds me of bees buzzing around – bzzzzzzy bee!
Here’s a couple of purple flowers with bees that I took quite awhile ago. The bees are very busy gathering pollen from the pretty flowers.
Today we have songs performed by two people in a duet. There are many artists that collaborate like this, and they usually are very good. For mine today, since it’s for duets, I give you a duet of songs by the same couple. Enjoy! 🙂

We could be the talk of the town tonight
Carry home your shoes in the morning light
Or we could just stay here a while
Wrapped up in the quiet life
We could sail away to Tobago
Fly across the Gulf of Mexico
Or we could just stay here a while
Wrapped up in the quiet life
Now and then I’m loving the world again
And I’ll be fine living in the quiet life
We could get a job on the movie screen
Smile on the cover of a magazine
Or we could just be man and wife
Happy in the quiet life
Where the clock don’t move so quick
Where the water don’t make you sick
Traffic don’t keep you up at night
Here in the quiet life
Now and then I’m loving the world again
And I’ll be fine living in the quiet life
Living in the quiet life
Sleeping by a firelight
Maybe I could make you smile
In the quiet life
We could be the talk of the town tonight

From a Wiki article:
In 2008, Nicholson joined with wife Kasey Chambers for the critically acclaimed Rattlin’ Bones roots/country album, which debuted at No. 1 on the ARIA charts, achieved platinum-plus sales and eventually won an ARIA Award for Best Country release in Australia in 2008 and also receive five Golden Guitar Awards in Australia in 2009.

[Chorus]
Smoke don’t rise, fuel don’t burn
Sun don’t shine no more
Late one night, sorrow come round
Scratching at my door
But I cut my hands and break my back
Draggin’ this bag of stones
Till they bury me down beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin’ bones
[Verse 1]
Left my home and left my love
Caught on a rusty nail
Devil rose up heavy with gold
My soul’s not for sale
Then a holy man in a house of God
He offered me a book of prayer
But when I left my home and I left my love
Left my faith back there
[Chorus]
Smoke don’t rise, fuel don’t burn
Sun don’t shine no more
Late one night, sorrow come round
Scratchin’ at my door
But I cut my hands and break my back
Draggin’ this bag of stones
Till they bury me down beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin’ bones
[Verse 2]
Shut my eyes and hang my head
Darkness makes no sound
Climb it up, bottom there
Earth’s on the way back down
When a sadness falls on the morning bird
Wonder what the day will bring
But I shut my eyes and hang my head
At least that bird can sing
[Chorus]
Smoke don’t rise, fuel don’t burn
Sun don’t shine no more
Late one night, sorrow come round
Scratchin’ at my door
But I cut my hands and break my back
Draggin’ this bag of stones
Till they bury me down beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin’ bones
Till they bury me down beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin’ bones
Your prompt for #JusJoJan and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “last call.” Talk about the enterprise (sales or service) conducted by the last phone call you received from a business you’re not associated with (i.e. your workplace), or talk about that phone conversation itself. Have fun!

Well, what we have here is a failure to communicate. That’s right – I don’t communicate with outside businesses that call on my phones. They have no business to call me umpteen times a day for no reason that interests me.
We have caller I. D. and if I don’t recognize the number I zap it off as fast as I can. It’s so annoying.
It’s just as bad when I get random text messages on my phone from weird places – like this one –
The messages say they’d like to sell our property, and sometimes they have our address, and sometimes it’s an address we’ve never heard of or lived at before. Then I have to take the time – a whole second maybe to delete the messages, because there’s always more than one.
On the phone ones, I have no idea what they’re selling, and even if I did know, I wouldn’t buy it from some random caller.
Just no – I will not communicate with any of them.

This is a fun looking carousel or merry-go-round that is in our mall. It has lots of little lights above the carousel horses.
