I love JImmy. At one point in time we were . . . more

We were gathered by his bedside. As promised, we were sending him out with laughter and telling our favorite Jimmy Shambo stories.
Crystal brought out the Tequila, and Bodine stumbled in the front . . . more

It's almost 7:30 AM, and I've been up only an hour. I've been hitting the hay early and rising late. Seriously early, like 6:30 or 7 PM I've been getting to bed as I cannot keep my eyes . . . more

In the twilight of this morning
As the bird began her song
I was watering the garden
For the frost had come along
'Mongst the tender shoots of green
Within the fertile soil so sweet
Lay a dozen deep . . . more

I want to stay in bed today
wrapped in my cotton sheet
Soft pillow tucked beneath my head
Enjoying slumber sweet
I want to stay right here in bed
Where I can keep you near
In dreams you're smiling, . . . more

Nothing inspires me to write like a sink full of dirty dishes.
Seriously.
I can be pondering the articles I have in my head and just give up for a while, then go to attack the dishes and it's like . . . more

standing by the fence
we watch the band
together
gentle hands
caress my back
I snuggle close
laying my head
on your shoulder
We are friends
longing and appreciaton
I brush floating hair
from your . . . more

It was an honour to care for you, my friend.
Tho you could hardly talk,
Your eyes spoke volumes
As we smiled and "remembered the time"
It was my privelege to gently
rub your tired flesh with . . . more

Mist keeps the morning grey
Clouds obscure the sun
Cold and dank this new moon day
Weather's right for fun
Music soothes my sleepy head
Cobwebs of the night
Dreams of you while in my bed
Fade just . . . more

Sunny outside
Chores in here
I pause to breathe
Inhale the beauty outside my window
And smile
Grateful for the clothes
Ready for the line
I don't care if it is only forty degrees,
My clothes are . . . more

I'll clad my self in fun today
My shoes have purple laces
A tie dyed shirt and whimsey pins
In unexpected places
My humor's been asleep it seems
Whilst I was unaware
I'm waking up my happiness . . . more

Cardinal lights at the feeder
Blazing contrast to
White snow
In evergreen
Puffed up in this cold
Black mask hides watchful eyes
He muches, then flies off
Makes way for snowbirds who
Share the perch and . . . more

Here's the basic recipe I use, (with an improvement from Dorene) along with the spell to make for a pleasant evening.

The sun has set for you, my friend
You linger in colorful splendor across the sky
As we look to see you one last time
The blazing glory of sunset is the beauty you leave with us
Shining red yellow purple . . . more

Relaxed to the max
(In a tense sort of way)
Walking with tacks
In my shoes everyday
Always more to do
Nothing left alone
Work to keep from drowning
Weary to the bone
Smiling bouncy baby
Tickles me, . . . more

I just watched Tuesdays With Morrie.
It was a very good movie, but not one to watch when you're sad.
It made me cry. Too close to home, I guess. Plus, I was commemorating a . . . more

I'll admit it, I can take a lesson from my 3 year old granddaughter.
When she wants to do something, she plunges right ahead and does it.
Me, I ponder and hesitate first.
When she is ready . . . more

There's a rainbow on my carpet
Red Orange Yellow
Green and Blue
Violet glowing
Shining showing
Vibrant bow for me and you
Rainbows dancing in the kitchen
Over counters
On the Wall
See the colours . . . more
