I Waited, and Waited, and Waited In Vain

It was no use at all. It was a beautiful canteloupe that looked just right for eating. I could hardly wait to get it home. That was a week ago. When I cut into it, it was hard as a rock, and completely tasteless and a week of waiting made no difference at all. I have always hated wasting things, and... Sign in to see full entry.

It happened So Fast...Did I See What I Saw?

I was sitting at the window with my laptop a couple of days ago when I was aghast at what I thought I saw. There are lots of sparrows around here and at least two different nests in the rafters of my porch. They move around a lot keeping their nests in good condition, looking for food for babies,...

Sitting On My Bed Today...

I was putting on my socks this morning while sitting on the side of my bed and I just happened to look up across the room at my very big six-shelf book case abutting my desk and noted how awfully messy the whole thing had become since I have been using my laptop in the living room instead of the...

They Dance to Communicate

Grandson Peter's Step-Dad loves to read Louis L'Amour books so I gave him one to take home and this morning have dug out six more to hold for him. It is his son that is the beekeeper. He is new at this and still a bit wary of them, though very courageous. Even in full bee-suit cover he got stung on... Sign in to see full entry.

Inevitable

It came today in the mail. I didn't know exactly when it would come, but I knew it would...and that the time was getting short, oh so short. It doesn't bother me like I thought it would. It came today, bringing many memories of places, memories, fun I've had, responsibilities, a wreck or two along... Sign in to see full entry.

Taking No Chances

So, here I am at my Gmail site composing a letter to myself that I intend to use as a post for Blogit, which I hope to copy and paste without problem after I get it just right. The morning after the night in which the two children were running around in my yard laughing and playing at 2:00 a.m.,... Sign in to see full entry.

I Wonder...

Last night.... I was dragged out of a deep sleep by sounds of children laughing delightedly outside of my bedroom window. Groggily I lifted my head from off of my pillow and squinted (not having my glasses on) at the clock that glows in the dark....2:05 a.m. What???? I separated the slats of the...

Gray, Damp Days Do Me In

I know it must have something to do with my advanced age, but..... And, I hate to complain when I'm not suffering at all, but... When are we going to get some sunshine around this place. This is at least the third day of wet and nasty and it makes me so sleepy. On top of that, without warning this... Sign in to see full entry.

Procrastination Is My Forte

It wasn't always so. At least, I always did do the things I liked to do, quickly and efficiently. I put the things I didn't really like to do toward the end of my list of things to do. My list of things I needed to do, even when I was young and energetic, was made on little 3x5 cards so that I could... Sign in to see full entry.

Isn't That The Way It Goes?

A long, long time ago a poem now and then would come to me rather easily it seems words falling into place marching across the page with grace, rhythm, and ease though overuse of elision was a symptom of my inept confusion and inability to please even myself. Yesterday when I was young and thoughts... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I accidentally erased my whole Perplexities blog and everything that was in it from 2004 on. So-o-o-o-o-o, I'm beginning it again. Wonder how far I'll get before I make another big mistake.
