Say not the struggle naught availeth…..

I think I must have done, today, the most complex WordPress/Woocommerce configuration in my life. OK maybe the last 5 years, because I’ve only been working with these two applications for a few years, so far. Now, I have been working with HTML since 1995. Oh and btw my younger my sister is a great-grandmother, […]

Art

Art….

I haven’t given up the idea of exploring Art more fully. I did take a few Art classes, as I mentioned in an earlier post and did some sketches. Here they are – I love leaves – even dead ones have life. A live plant on the subject of death – Crown of Thorns. Nature

Art, creativity, words

The Luck of the Draw…

Our writing word today is “draw.” Again a word with so many meanings. All my life I have wanted to draw real-life pictures. I particularly like pencil drawings with shading. I like the fact that you can create 3-dimensional pictures on a flat piece of paper. I admire people who can sit outside and draw

Specialty…

Our word for today is “specialty.” Everyone has a specialty. You’re a great speaker, a fabulous artist, a  wonderful cook….the list goes on. We seek out people and places to enjoy their specialties. We go to restaurants to savour certain dishes that are unique to them. We read authors that are particularly good a writing

Collusion

Collusion is our writing word for today and it’s right up my alley, even if it isn’t my word. I’m a great believer in conspiracy theories. In fact, if the truth were known, I believe that almost everything is a conspiracy. I’m not even going to talk about how governments, drug companies, water suppliers, even

That’s the trick!!

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

Nine Pipers Piping

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

Grass…

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

File it – for the record….

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

The Dress…… An Atonement

I am fascinated with the “slow clothing movement.” It’s a throw back to the depression era when no one threw anything out. Every scrap – string, paper, glass etc. – was saved to be re-used one day. With clothing, people wore hand-me-downs or re-fashioned items, to make, what was left, last a little longer –
