My mother often used expressions, I thought I understood, but probably didn’t. I’m not sure my mother always understood them either, but it did make for a colourful use of language and I’m all for adding colour (and salt) to anything. One expression in particular always puzzled me – “hell bent for leather.” I decided
I was looking around for a blog to “spiffy-up” for another short challenge that I’m in, when I came across a phrase that I wrote when hurricane Sandy blew out our lights. – “Blessed are they that Bar-B-Q for they shall always have matches.” We might not always have propane, or charcoal and on the

There were buckets of pussy willow at the market the other day. I love pussy willows – they just whisper (whispurr) Spring. From a site for free poetry Pussy Willow Tiny little pussy willow Softer than a baby’s pillow Sometimes when I stroke your fur I almost hear you purr. Author Unkown And from the
