Easy does it….

 Our writing word for today is “ease.” I am fixated with people who can do “things” with incredible ease. You know the casually dressed person who manages to have every item in their wardrobe matching. They wear a scarf with, what can I say, ease. It drapes perfectly, slants to a jaunty angle and moves […]

What doesn’t kill us….makes us go mad….

I can’t believe I haven’t written since late September. Well, on the other hand, maybe I can. I have had to face certain significant challenges between late September and late December. I will start at the end and work backwards – always the cart before the horse – I need to rein things in.  ðŸ™‚

A House is a Home is a Garden – in several posts – 1

People who know me, know I love growing “things.” Yes, growing older comes to mind, but not today. Fortunately, I have a large back garden. Unfortunately it is heavily treed – growing anything in the way of food and/or flowers is a challenge. Hence (love that word), I rely on my front garden to grow

Challenge

 Our writing word for a long time has been challenge. Well, I have been accepting the “take on a daily challenge” idea for a while now – maybe not everyday, but enough of them to throw out an ankle, a knee, an elbow and a shoulder – need I say more.  Since April, I have

Our writing word for today is “change.” I have always maintained that change is the only constant, well maybe not.

There are still the poor, the homeless, the

Naan….

……Yesterday, I made naan, an Indian flatbread that is often eaten with curry. I also made Butter Chicken, but I forgot to take pictures so I’ll have to make it again and post the process here, because it was delicious.  I accepted the “naan” challenge, because a friend of my son has just started a

Trees…

For some reason, I felt I had to write today, right now, in fact; but I had no topic, no reason, nothing…. Well, I’m glad that I could count on my old friend poetry to give me an idea. I keyed “poem for a day” into google and I was rewarded – cast your words
