The darkest dark, the brightest light

I will be posting more pictures of the finished stone walls when they get emailed to me very soon, I hope. When I got to the shop to take pictures my camera was dead - O my favorite thing. A lady there offered so kindly to take pictures as she happened to have a camera in her car! Bless her heart! And, wasn't that sweet of her! I needed help and there she was. And, you know I've had more troubles with the whole camera thing. . .
Thank you to all the folks that tell me they read my blog and those that visit regularly. It's really ok to leave comments here but I know people can be shy when thinking that the world my see. Anyway I thank you, it means a lot.
and now, time for Bruce (and, isn't it always?) lol
Lord I love good lyrics.

Have you ever seen a one trick pony in the field so happy and free?
If you've ever seen a one trick pony then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one-legged dog making its way down the street?
If you've ever seen a one-legged dog then you've seen me

Then you've seen me, I come and stand at every door
Then you've seen me, I always leave with less than I had before
Then you've seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor

Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me can you ask for anything more?

Have you ever seen a scarecrow filled with nothing but dust and wheat?
If you've ever seen that scarecrow then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one-armed man punching at nothing but the breeze?
If you've ever seen a one-armed man then you've seen me

Then you've seen me, I come and stand at every door
Then you've seen me, I always leave with less than I had before
Then you've seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor

Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me can you ask for anything more?

These things that have comforted me, I drive away
This place that is my home I cannot stay
My only faith's in the broken bones and bruises I display
Have you ever seen a one-legged man trying to dance his way free?
If you've ever seen a one-legged man then you've seen me

-Bruce Springsteen for "The Wrestler"
