The walls are high, insurmountable
The bridge is inaccessible
How do we meet these challenges –
Only in our imagination?
Problems are icy barriers
Quiet reflection thaws them
Slowly only, think of solutions
Finds the answers you need.

It seems impossible, reaching out to help others, but they are also wanting your contact, so stretch your imagination, accept the differences.

Joe realized that learning to play a guitar was not as easy as it looks. After four sessions with the music teacher, his thumb was sore from strumming and his other fingers had blisters. Joe decided he wasn’t going to stick with it and crumpled up the sheet music from his teacher.

Two lizards sitin’ in a tree…oh no I didn’t! Just kidding folks, I think it’s my mindset today…a little off, a little weird…ever have those days? For entertainment I shuffled my winter and summer sock drawer and gave some too small slipper socks to my granddaughter.My family came last night, a rare visit to see my great granddaughter, Tavi, and she was much more friendly this time. I got a lecture from my grandson, the firefighter and my daughter about not wearing the “I’ve fallen and can’t ’”…You could hardly call it a necklace. I don’t think these two lizards would be too happy with it either. I wonder how they call for help if they need it? Those long curly tails probably save them from falls. Nature doesn’t leave things to chance.

Hidden strength
Rising above
Tenacity blooming
Don’t tread on me, nobody’s rules
Sedum wins

I think the strength of this tiny flower brings the reader into its attitude of resilience and survival. Like the seeds of a dandelion, persistence dominates.

LEMON TABLEAU
Golden yellow orb
With dappled thick skin
Summer drink staple
Add meringue for pie
Makes a tart delight
Love lemon tree fruit

“It’s so hot, asphalt has a liquid state”. Jathan Fink
This is not far from the truth, tarred roads in extreme hot temperatures cause the bitumen in the asphalt to soften and can get sticky and appear melted.

One-Liner Wednesday – How hot is it?
Did you hear about my friend Jack
No computers he couldn’t hack
He’d put in a code
In his secret mode
And all the covert lines turned black

Heavy cold rain and hail confuse the senses because the calendar says June. At least there is a variety in the weather – no long humid hot days for us.
icy drops falling
spring and summer heat relief
damaging hail storms
crops suffering the downpour
slow softer showers needed

Shari wanted to explore an area on the park’s map that showed a fault line. She had read about Yellowstone Park and the volcanic action under it. “This is a good day for it”, she told her husband, “plenty of light over the area, the fog is gone”. Joe didn’t wake in a great mood and asked please could he just take a short nap and meet up later. Shari didn’t object and went to the fault area on her own. Shari was looking over the area where the park ranger led them the day before. Suddenly the earth beneath her feet started moving with great speed and she ended up falling into a huge crack. Luckily Joe showed up just in time to grab her and save her from falling into a growing abyss. Their vacation fun was over and Joe told Shari her exploration of volcanic areas was done. Sadly she agreed.

Here are this week’s questions:
Gratitude: I am grateful that I can be as honest and open as I want with my family and most of my friends. I’m not saying we always all agree, but I am grateful for the love we share.
