Our writing word for today is “trick.” It’s my word and I thought of it after spending an hour or so on-line looking for something that would outsmart or trick a groundhog. Last year, a groundhog ate all of my strawberries, most of my eggplants and too many of my tomatoes. Sigh! I wanted to […]
Our word for today is “pipe.” Again a word with so many meanings. Given the mood of today and the ugly people who have been voted in to “rule” us, the first image to come to mind is “pipe bomb.” An angry populace revolts. They make weapons at home, pipe bombs, to throw at the
Our writing word for today is “grass.” For me, nothing says Spring more than grass, at least, up here in Canada. When white is all we see covering the ground from December to March, the sight of some green grass is a welcome change. The problem with grass is, there is often not enough where
Our writing word for today is “file.” Another word with many meanings. Today, I’m going to use “file” in the sense of recording information for preservation!! Wow! big words for small deeds. What I really mean is that this blog, for me, is a way of recording or filing, what I do and have done

Our writing word for today is “shame.” I have heard it often. “What a shame you didn’t come last week, the weather was perfect … or you would have met so and so … or … the list goes on. Yes, I have had my fair share of disappointments. So many in fact, that I’ve
Our writing word for today is “Death.” Well, I suppose it’s important to think about the end of the story, as we read or write along. I somehow like to think, that if my life were a book, it would be a long (maybe slow) read. War and Peace comes to mind, as do these
Assembly is our writing word for today. Given that I have recently assembled a few purchases from Ikea, I’m not surprised that this word, just popped into my head 🙂 In fact, if the truth were known, I have, over the years collected (and assembled) more than my share of Billys, Gronlids, Ekeros, etc, etc.
Our word for today is “shadow.” I’ve written about shadows before – The shadow knows. Shadow is an old word, from the mid 1300s in Old English via Dutch and German and possibly, Greek. Such a word will have developed many meanings. Ultimately, shadow means the interruption of light by something opaque. This is its
