Moonlight glistened on water

Serenity filled his soul

Fear for the World's fate faded

As hope took form once more

In the garden:

 

 

Where's Nori:  

 

Have an excellent week, friends.

Writerly Wednesday AND Did You Know Thursday

 What's your sentence, example or synonym for:

 Example: Most folks fudgel at work at one time or another.

* This is an old 18th century English word and if it's not obsolete, it's the next thing to it. But I like it:)

 

AND

 

* Spoiler alert. If you don't live in the United States, this may be of absolutely no interest to you.

Did you know that Jefferson Davis served as the 14th President's (Franklin Pierce) Secretary of War. I found this to be so very ironic.

Ketchup-Day

 

 

How are you?  

I'm pleased to say we've had over five and a half inches of rain in the past week or so. The plants are happy.

AND speaking of plants.  I got a honey mandarin orange tree for Mother's Day. My daughter grew a lemon tree from seed and I said I wanted to try that, though possibly with orange seeds. She pointed out that all things consider, i.e. age, maybe I should get a sapling. 😆-

AND There's all kinds of blackberries on the bush this year.  Looks like the birds and I will be going toe to toe when they ripen.  

 Frank had the guy-sprawl thing going and took up his piece of the couch as well as half of Callie's.

 Oh by the way, if you haven't read this post, I highly recommend it. It's got an unexpected twist that I just loved and sure didn't see coming.

Ketch-Up Day

 If you're a mom or stand-in mom, did you have a grand Mother's Day? I trust so. The HH and I went to the movies and saw Accountant II.  We haven't been to a theater since pre-covid. Would you care to take a guess at what the cost of two senior tickets, 1 popcorn and 2 drinks were?  If you guessed $55 and change, you would be correct.  I have to admit I did enjoy seeing Ben Affleck line dancing:) 

ANDIn the garden

Well, to my way of thinking Momma Fox Sparrow is a helicopter parent, I saw her out there feeding that baby who looked perfectly capable of doing so himself.  Even saw that little head bobbing at the ground a time or two. Even though Dad is helping out, she looks awfully worn down.

 A little bit of a head scratcher. My purple-blue hydrangeas 
Now look like this.  The only thing I can think of is that the pine needles we put down may have changed the acidity of the soil.

 

In Hawaii Thanks, Denise.

In Florida Thanks, Shane.

 Denise was kind enough to share her cyber action figure.  Have you made yours yet?

That's it for now, Blogger Buds.
