August 18
Head in the Clouds Day
Be thou the rainbow
in the storms of life.
The evening beam
that smiles the clouds away,
and tints tomorrow
with prophetic ray.
~ Lord Byron
Hope it’s not too cloudy tonight for the full moon!
Today we say happy birthday to a couple of heart throbs I admit to having crushes on. Patrick Swayze (1954) and Robert Redford (1937) share this birthday. Let’s all have a soft serve ice cream cone in their honor as we celebrate Soft Serve Day. And in their honor:
Roses are redford,
Violets are blue,
Let’s watch Dirty Dancing,
And dance along, too.
(FYI: It’s also Bad Poetry Day)

Additionally, it’s Purse Day over on our AUGUST calendar of a month full of Smiley Silliness. Here’s the purse that graces the cover of A SMILEY BOOK OF COLORS. Buy it from the good old Spontaneous Smiley website and you get a couple bucks off the cost and I sign it for you! Today’s Cloud Smiley is also in the book!
BTW, the Smileys and holidays on a month full of Smiley Silliness are all different than the ones you see here on the website’s Daily Smiley.
Plus as is often the case, just for grins, you get a different Cloud Smiley in the Smiley-a-Day emailer.
