Paw prints

I got out early and did some more shopping. When I got home, the cute little paw prints you see in the picture above were on my porch. It’s not from one of my cats. I do think Bella was outside while I’d gone shopping, but her feet are a bit larger than this. If … Continue reading Paw prints

Getting ready

I spent part of the day getting ready for the holiday. My youngest son came home for the weekend and we’re all getting together on Sunday. But leave it to me to get ready at the last moment. That’s my life. My boys used to hate it when I’d get ready for a show because … Continue reading Getting ready

Cold toes

I always hear people say that they don’t like the cold, that they can always put on more clothes for warmth but that they can’t take their skin off in order to cool down. Personally, I don’t like to be a stuffed sausage, and that’s what I feel like when I have several layers of … Continue reading Cold toes

A Flower’s Opportunity

The yellow flower opened, turned its head toward the sun. Breeze rushing along the sidewalk stirred its fragrance from its pedals. A crack.

It didn’t matter that a thin layer of snow still covered the grass only … Continue reading A Flower’s Opportunity

I have 5 of them. Some of them are every day intentions. Some are weekday intentions. And some are weekend intentions. I also set up “Coping Plans.” … Continue reading Coping with intentions

One year

Temmy has been part of my household for one year now. What an interesting year it’s been. She and Bella still don’t get along. And every night about 4 in the morning she comes to curl up under the blankets with me. She drives me crazy, but she’s also been my nearly constant companion. if … Continue reading One year

Here I go again

The restart of a painting.

Destroying today

I painted today. Even finished the small painting I’ve been working on. Then I destroyed it. I liked the background and I liked the rocks I had in the foreground. Even the weeds were good. I had these trees in the middle that I hated the moment I put them in. But, today I’d even … Continue reading Destroying today

In hiding

Well, my talk didn’t go as planned. But, in reflection, I wonder if that was on purpose… at least subconsciously. I got to the part where I was going to start talking about writing becoming difficult because I’d given into myths and how I came back from that. Unfortunately, I looked down at my notes … Continue reading In hiding
