Word purr-fect..

Desperate for a blog topic this morning, I went to a few “word of the day” sites, because they are often wonderful idea generators. I prefer the site, wordthing.com, because it’s easy to navigate, has a clean clear format and keeps a list of the previous six or seven words offered. Their word for today, however, […]

Pomegranates and the seasons of life!!

I mentioned in another blog post that I was waiting for the return of Persephone!! I don’t know why I say that I don’t read Fiction or Fantasy, I love mythology!! One of my favourite myths is how the seasons came to be or the story of Demeter and Persephone. This all happened a long

St Patrick, The patron Saint of Guatemala….

OK, I know that St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. Why, everyone in the world knows that St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. The irony here is, that for all the years that I have endured my sprawling, pugilistic, Irish Catholic family, I have never been invited to walk in the

A Clutter of Blog Ideas….

It took me a while today to come up with an idea for a blog. In fact I really don’t actually have an idea as yet, but I have an idea to write a list of ideas – does that make sense? I’ve spent about an hour going through some blogging communities that I spend

The Shadow Knows….

On one of my walks through the cemetery last week, I took some pictures. It was a brilliantly sunny day, so the trees cast some amazing shadows. I happen to love shadows. They often say more than the actual structure that’s casting the shadow. Here they are – I particularly liked this one because it

Qualifications….

I went for a three mile walk on Friday. It was -13ÂșC, but it was brilliantly sunny with no wind. There, I had to qualify my walk or people might think that I’m more than a little insane. Somehow I couldn’t just say that I didn’t mind walking, even though it was bitterly cold. Maybe

Observations at 6:00am…..

Weird and wonderful things happen to morning people. I know that even weirder and dare I say more wonderful things happen to night people too, but since I’ve never been one, I wouldn’t know. However, as an insomniac, I have been known to peer out of windows at 3:00am and I have seen you out

I Ask You

I am looking outside at bare tree branches – again. They are still taupe against a pale grey sky; nothing has changed in months. I am tempted to feel sad. No, I mustn’t give in to sadness. I ease back a little from the melancholy and think again. I realize that I haven’t read Billy

Corn Flakes and Beer

OK it’s 7:00am Sunday morning and the bars are open. This is not Mexico or some other exotic place where the bars never close. No, this is Toronto, where getting a license to stay open an extra hour or two on a Friday or Saturday night, if you are a pub owner, is right up

Psst…Buddy…Need an idea?

My blogs are works in progress. That is, I often re-read a post, which might be listed on my stats. page, as recently read by someone else. Invariably, I find an error, usually minor, in the spelling or the syntax, which I then correct. Today, someone read this post – Content Marketing Tools Can Be
