Oh, Thin Mints
You are delicious
Evil
(Because I cannot resist you)
Yet de-lic-ious
Eaten frozen of course
Another box is gone
Mmmmm goooooood

in this moment
“window view”
February 23, 2013
window view
playing in the snow
children laughing
snowballs flying
smiles shining too
looks normal
from the outside
only the inside knows
the truth
for reality
is anything but normal
life is never boring
if it is
it’s your own damn fault
we have your drama
real life kind
eyebrow raising
jaw dropping
gray hair causing too
but from the outside
if you are looking
from your window view
the drama doesn’t show
it’s skillfully hidden
behind brave faces
and eyes filled with secrets
heart kind
that never tell

I’m wool gathering in the kitchen
warming my hands
on a ginormous mug o’joe
leaning on the counter
dishwasher sloshing
running humming
boys watching Clone Wars
now nearly through
snow covers the ground
February air has snap
inside is warm
my kitchen spot the best
for quiet contemplation
coffee drinkin’ daydreams
blue sky is emerging
from behind a wall o’clouds
wool gathering
thinking
not just a barnyard pursuit
baa
brrrr
ya sheared me a l’il close
not yet anyway
shearing is for Spring
after winter wind abates
real wool gathering time isn’t here
not quite yet

art talk
Art Club today.
Soul food for me.
One student saw me in the hallway before school and asked, “What are we makin’ today?” I grinned a conspiratorial grin and said, “I’m not tellin’. It’s a surprise.”
He grinned back and went to class. Gotta give a guy credit for tryin’.

I was charmed by the colorful tilted umbrellas at Sam’s Club today. Yet another sign Spring is on its way – patio furniture is on display. *happy sigh at thoughts of Spring*

savoring today
I think bad weather is still in the forecast for tomorrow. “Bad,” as in, “snow and ice.” But today?! Today is gorgeous outside with blue sky, white clouds and less vicious biting wind. It nearly feels like Spring, before chill seeps in. Lovely lovely beautiful sunshine day. Much needed.

life o’cliche
I’m treading water.
Staying afloat.
Keeping the sharks at bay.
Soaking up sunshine rays.
Smiling more than crying
…most days.

wind sounds
It’s crazy windy again here today. The wind is literally whistlin’. I love this love seat spot because I can hear the wind chimes chime even as the wind gusts and roars. Blue laid back down to catch more doggy zzzz’s. He is glad for company on the main floor and for gettin’ some good mornin’ loves from me.

hiding spot
The cat was in my closet.
I didn’t know…until I was putting clean clothes away and Blue followed me in.
YOWL WOOF
That cat practically flew to the way back, as I grabbed Blue’s collar, hauled him out and shut the door behind me.
Laundry isn’t for the faint o’heart in these here parts.
Gotta stay on your toes. Always.
Now there are mountain lion growls comin’ from the closet, and Blue is pacin’ and can’t settle down.
I got your drama. Dog and cat kind. =^.^=
