No Loon Today
No singing birds. No loon calling. On this first full day of Spring no sunshine, only thick gray clouds, cold winter temperature, and squawking Canada geese. These are Canada geese that have never been to Canada. Being born here, they have no remembrance of the land to which they are supposed to...

The Loon Is Letting Us Know

Spring, the sweet spring!" Thomas Nashe, 16th-century British poet He certainly looked forward to spring in his own...

Rose Is My Middle Name
William Blake, way back when things were not exactly as they are now, wrote a poem that I never liked: "Oh Rose thou art sick, the invisible worm that flies in the night, in the howling storm: has found out thy bed of crimson joy and his dark secret love does thy life destroy." I was interested in...

Those Who Are Not
"Yesterday" when I was young I paid not attention to the weather, to the time, to the reason, I went where I wanted, when I wanted, without a care in the world, and without much preparation, or worry of what might come about while out. Yesterday in this time, I went out on a beautiful sunny day with...

Pi Day 2023

What kind of pie are you having? My favorite these days is Wild Berry Pie picked up ready made from Perkins...

Keeping Track of the Greats
When one is 85 it is really difficult to keep in touch with all of the extended family, especially since my older sisters have passed on and one can't get in touch with them for addresses, phone numbers, info, such like that. The computer is a plus though. The little cutie in the photo is my...

Adaptation From Pete the Cat Books
Great-Granddaughter Viviene loves, loves, loves "Pete The Cat" books. I guess you can't blame her because she is just a little girl and she has three real-live cats of her own to play with, to sleep with, etc. She even tried to take one of them swimming in their pool with her this last summer, but...

Not Perky Due To Murky
The sky is leaden with overcast, yesterday's sunshine hidden from view, streets wet and nasty are waiting... reasons to hunker in....quite a few. In here I'm warm and comfy. Home is pleasant as pleasant can be with all the gray on the outside, but in....laptop friends and tea. All I need is a bit of...

Family Letter Writing
When I miss a day at Blogit, it usually turns into a week or more of being absent. As they say, "a miss is as good as a mile" is true in any venue. It is hard to again get in the groove of writing here. Well, today I was composing an email note to Sis, then I added my Baltimore Sis. Then on a whim,...
