Hot and humid is what I think
Makes a person turn to drink
Iced tea, coffee or lemonade
Any cold liquid arrayed
Preferably in a glade
Where I sit in the shade
Of a huge big oak tree
Squirrels may throw acorns down at me
Sounds ridiculous, I know
But wide leaved shade makes me forego
Unpleasant thoughts of rascally rodents
I just sit back and enjoy the pleasant
Coolness of the tree and drink
A summer treat, don’t you think?

Sunday Confessionals : Summer
Can You Tell A Story In…
Marie started towards her home. Her sister, Sara, already home and asleep, dreamed of her purposeful mingle with others at the village gathering. Sara wanted the tingle sensation she heard other women received when the “right” man would sweep her off her feet.
What a naive dream, Marie thought, sadly encouraged by their mother. Their mother might as well have hung out a shingle advertising, “two daughters for sale”. The girls’ mother was afraid neither would marry and they would all end up penniless.
Marie had other plans. The night closed around her but the fireflies seemed a symbol of hope. Almost home, her mind searched for solutions.

Dindindun: Part of Beethoven’s famous fifth symphony (signature moves😉)
The Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67, also known as the Fate Symphony (German: Schicksalssinfonie), is a symphony composed by Ludwig van Beethoven between 1804 and 1808. It is one of the best-known compositions in classical music and one of the most frequently played symphonies,[1] and it is widely considered one of the cornerstones of western music. First performed in Vienna’s Theater an der Wien in 1808, the work achieved its prodigious reputation soon afterward. E. T. A. Hoffmann described the symphony as “one of the most important works of the time”. Wikipedia

No Nonsense – Saturday Mix, 6 July 2024
Well I’m sitting here looking at this iPad
My chosen form of paper now, in some ways sad…
I write lists on my phone where I keep notes
I have legal sized paper on a lined pad for quotes
I used to have handwriting, very neat indeed
Now I write things even I can’t read!
Electronic messaging does have its perks
It’s easy to dismiss any jerks
But then I sigh as I think of the trees
Cut down to provide paper needs.
“Paper” stores used to be a favorite haunt
Now I feel it’s a guilty taunt.
