Living in Tyler, TX, the weather was usually never flu conducive, always a pleasant, even boring climate. Growing up in VT, there was always a change of seasons I welcomed. The home in TX, one of many, was built by a contractor and had many amenities, including a pool and a fireplace. We had three inside cats at the time and two dogs outside, (never the twain shall meet).
I’m not sure we ever used the fireplace even though most homes had one in that area. One day I was reading in the living room and heard a fluttering in the fireplace flue, and out came a bird! It flew right over to the top of the drapes across the room.
Before I could even move, the old mother cat leaped up and had the bird in her mouth. Unfortunately I heard a crunch. I made her drop it, tried to save the poor thing, but of course I could not. I closed the flue immediately, not ever wanting that to happen again.
I didn’t realize the old cat was capable of leaping so far so high so fast. I really never liked her after that. She had always been what I think of as a typical cat, while the other two were very loving. Guess I do hold a grudge.

Okay, I give. . .
Technology and I are not long distance lovers, friends, not acquaintances, not even a howdy do in passing. Today I lost all contacts on my phone. Yes, I always have backup checked in case I do something stupid. No luck. I think I need cans and a very long string.

100 Word Wednesday #104 – Wish
Jimmy looked out again, raised his hand to feel cold wet condensation on the window. Slurring it to the side to see clearer, he wished to be outside with his friends. He thought of the neighborhood boys as friends, even though he never joined them. Today’s weather made him wish for what could not be for a boy bound inside.
Once in a while his mother would bake cookies and set up games to entertain his friends, after pleas to their mothers. It was her way of coping. Jimmy just wanted to feel snowflakes on his tongue like his friends.
Oh, yes!
Ccc#9 – Borders
Barriers, borders between you and me
What exactly would you see
A wall, a bridge, a block of sorts
Will you feel remorse as a result
Of disconnecting us, or will you scorn
The separation, and feel forlorn
That you’re alone, or is that your wish?
Our leaders last orders seem to be remiss
As the golden rule will be dismissed.
