A couple of weeks ago, we discovered two strawberries in a flower garden and an egg (like the kind you would buy in a store) on the other side of the yard, slightly under a bush. Strange? Indeed. How in the world did these items end up in our yard? We quickly ruled out ourContinue reading “Not an Aesop Fable”

Moon over Miami?
Sigh. The moon. So big, so beautiful, so bright. It never fails to appear in the night sky. It is a constant, always there to remind us just how small we humans really are on this planet Earth, in this solar system we call home. The moon has always fascinated me, ever since I firstContinue reading “Moon over Miami?”
Lawn Bowling: a sport evolving
Lawn bowling? It’s for old people, right? Ha! First off, I am “old.” Secondly, it is not just for old people, and wearing white is not a prerequisite. Lawn bowling is for all ages and fashion statements. In fact, in our sixties, my husband and I are among the oldest in the recreational league weContinue reading “Lawn Bowling: a sport evolving”
Second Time Around
In just a couple of days, I will re-retire. What a strange word! Or wait, is it really a word? Or is it something I’ve just conjured up to describe my situation? It doesn’t matter. When it comes right down to it, I am retiring again. Yes, three years ago, I decided to retire afterContinue reading “Second Time Around”
Living in Congruence
Whenever I hear something I find interesting or see something that sparks a creative fire in me, I make a note of it on my phone. I’m sure I’m not alone in this practice. However, sometimes my notes are not all that clear. Half a sentence here, shorthand there, a name. I was looking atContinue reading “Living in Congruence”
Do you suffer from gerasophobia?
I’m a bit worried these days. You see, I think I suffer from gerascophobia. When I think about it, I get scared. My heart races a bit, and I feel sad. I dread it. I joke about it. But deep down inside, I am worried about it. Embrace it? Nope. Not on your life. YouContinue reading “Do you suffer from gerasophobia?”
Pet Power
As I write this blog, I am away from home looking after my “grand dog”, Bruce. Bruce is a nine-year-old English Bulldog. He is adorable, although I must admit I was terrified when my daughter told me she had adopted a bulldog from the local animal shelter. It was a surprise for her, as sheContinue reading “Pet Power”
Beltane (Round 2)
Today, Wednesday, May 1, is Beltane. Beltane is one of the four main festivals, or quarters, on the Pagan Wheel of the Year. It is also International Workers’ Day. The spirit of Beltane has not quite hit me yet, and my creative juices have been focused on another project. So, I am going to doContinue reading “Beltane (Round 2)”
To Toss or not to toss
After doing some painting in our house, I stared at the bare walls and debated which photos to hang. You see, before painting, the walls were cluttered with framed family photos and other art. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to re-hang all the family photos. My 30-year-old son suggested I just toss them. “NoContinue reading “To Toss or not to toss”
Better late than never
We all have that one friend (or possibly two) who is constantly late. Late for coffee, late for dinner, late for appointments. They don’t do it intentionally; it just seems to happen. I hate being late for things. To me, it shows a lack of respect for the other person’s time. One day, on myContinue reading “Better late than never”
