Bumbling Bees

A mild soft start to this Tuesday, air moist, sky a puffy comforter. I got up, made coffee, and as I filled the thermos I heard a buzz. A bug? Yes, a heavy bee the size of my thumb staggered out from behind my monitor and circled, bumping into everything. Of course I tried to direct it to the open... Sign in to see full entry.

Others of a Feather

Along with good coffee enjoyed in leisurely manner this Saturday morning, I found a grand no-calories sweet bun in the form of comments from you all. Quite an array of thoughts and impressions, encouragement, wry humor and good points from you flock of writers. As time goes on from the score I... Sign in to see full entry.

A Whole Lotta--

--No New News. We are soppy as sponge cake in fondue today here in the green Pacific Northwest. Our weather has been so mild and springy that we're all grumpy, it seems, to see the return of our familiar regular winter guest, that penetrating constant rain from gray skies, and cold puddles on the...

Castoff Popcorn Tin Delusion

Okay, now I’m sure the Universe is giving me a ‘pat on the head.’ Down at the dumpster, someone set aside a big tin painted with a winter scene, the kind Christmas popcorn comes in--and I picked it up. For one thing, this reminds me of my plan for marketing the mouse story (since it is about... Sign in to see full entry.

Mouse Stories

I gathered what courage I could scrape up and spoke to The Children's Librarian. "Me, again," I said. "Did I ask too much? I know you are busy." She said, "No. I began to read, fitting it in when I had time, and then decided I needed to do it all at one sitting, so have left it until a block of time... Sign in to see full entry.

Frog Stands Corrected

Who said technology was impersonal and a waste of time--some old biddy? Me? Well, I stand corrected. This morning I started out glum as a Northwest winter sky. After sampling thoughts and attitudes and well-wishes from all over this globe, I feel lifted like a frog on a warm wave. It was my turn to... Sign in to see full entry.

Mice [or Fairies?] Speak

A small happening may or may not be encouragement from the fairies--or rodents. I'd thought the bag of peanuts for the critters was emptying faster than usual lately. It does sit outside, but is fully-protected, behind the glass doors of what is really a favorite bookcase, now a necessarily-outside... Sign in to see full entry.

That Big Kitchen in the Sky

Sullen weather is a wet blanket on all I survey, so it seems. Gloomy skies spit rain on me all the way to the empty mailbox. Even the cat seems appathetic. When I squirted Redi-Whip on a dab left in the chocolate pudding pan (leftover from making the old man's lunch box dessert), Dooley barely... Sign in to see full entry.

Working While Waiting for the Sword to Fall . . .

It is tough to be witty on-command I've realized more painfully since I began being the hostess of my own supposedly-daily blog. Today is anything-but-witty. I'm still waiting for The Children's Librarian's Sword to fall on my head, and wouldn't you know it, I've had to work while I wait. I've... Sign in to see full entry.

Light?

I'm on the lookout for the sun as the sky, seen through the chinks in my 'fort wall' of trees along my horizon, lightens. We should have a second in a row--sunny day!!! The barest skin of ice covered the bird water, too thick for the impatient chickadee to bust through, so I trotted out a pan of hot... Sign in to see full entry.
