In China, you might find a high place where people pretend to be shy and you start to think and wonder if this really is a Utopia. Inside the caves, is there a real plea for hunger, or are they quietly content?

MLMM Monday Wordle #474

I have no clue

About the moon

Waxing and waning

Where do you get that training?

“Obviously”

“on the moon” the professor said

I looked around with dread.

The teacher adjusted his pipe

“Yes, all other theories are tripe!”

(See the four theories of the moon)

Waxing moon: moon appears to grow in size in a two week period.

Waning moon: phase where the moon shrinks from full to a new moon

Simply said, almost surreal

Especially the autumn appeal

Delicate foliage spreads in the wind

Waving their last puff, though pinned

Tiny fronds say their goodbyes

Sadly, through my eyes

Another season passes

Soft puffs among autumn grasses.

Welcome

If you want a tan in ten minutes time I suggest you get a ten ton tun of “Fun in the Sun”! It’s harmless but be careful, it works really fast, and you need a lot cause one dip in water, it doesn’t last!

I don’t lay out as the kids put it, my skin just turns red. Happy Saturday!

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS April 25, 2026

Joe stood at the door, the bell tones a distant ring in his mind. The key he knew wouldn’t fit in the lock as he wished it would, but tried it anyway. A list of his actions, an invisible bill he would not forget and her spoken limits, spilled like a smoke miasma over the entryway. Still, he kept standing there, waiting, wanting to hear the click of her high heeled shoes and the silky slide of satin fabric against her body.

Wordle 754

Painted iron based keys, a mystery to the small hands fiddling with great grandma’s belongings. Hands tiny, but minds heavy with curiosity. What would these keys open – a small box of secret treasures? Carol stifled a giggle as she looked at her sister, two years older. Maybe she knew, but then Mary shook her head nervously and hoped they’d get back to the tea garden soon. Mary was not the adventurous type and certainly never wanted to disappoint mother. Carol thought they were just sitting there in the bowl, and quickly snatched one for her apron pocket.

V is for vote, and this year, it is super important you do so! For yourself, your families, your children’s futures. Think of a library where you could no longer let your child pick out the book they want to read, or being accepted in a college class, eat at your favorite restaurant, etc, etc….Think of the freedoms you use every day and what it would mean to not have them anymore. I’m asking you to think and VOTE!
