Wednesday Hodgepodge

Hello August. What’s one thing you’re looking forward to this month? My granddaughter’s 17th birthday❤️

What are you doing to beat the heat right now? If you live in the southern hemisphere are you enjoying cooler temps or counting the days until summer? I live in Wyoming and as thunderstorms occur every day for weeks, it is much cooler.

How do you see the world? I see the world in trouble with climate change that everyone seems to deny and apathy for our fellow man.

What food product do you think is better store bought than home made? How about something you refuse to buy because it is so much better homemade? I don’t care for store cookies, the flavor just isn’t there, but all types of bread are easier than making at home for me.

Are you easy to get along with? This is a hilarious question because everyone thinks they are😂

Insert your own random thought here. Hmmm, my current random thought is I am getting really tired of these thunderstorms 😵‍💫

Cyranny’s 1MinFic – Spell Check

Let’s see, one pound of bacon, two pounds of pork ribs, ummm I can’t really figure out what the next thing is, oh well, I think it’s pig’s feet? And two pounds of pig’s feet sir! He then texts his wife to be sure. Pig feet? Pig feet? Are you crazy? It’s figs—ripe and sweet!

Simply Six Minutes

I told you, I am the man! Just follow my lead, dear! I don’t want to, give me a country hoedown any time, but a waltz? No way! Joe tries grabbing dear by the horns to make him follow, but fails. The quarrel goes on so long the highway department had to put up a warning sign to tourists. Eventually they stop fighting and decide to go their separate ways, Joe back to his tent, missing his old friend dear, who also went back to his lair in the forest nearby. Not all is fair in love and war.

Flowers

There is no genuinely beautiful copy allowed

The sun kissed meadow revels in the instrument of sun’s heat

A houseplant in a window tries to compete

However it cannot bridle the enthusiasm of the beauty and scents of an outdoor reverie

Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – Sun-kissed

3TC – Oops!

Aradia, Gullveig, and Rhiamon stand around the cauldron, accusing each other of ruining the potion. “It’s supposed to be a poison, Gullveig, not a love tincture! Now up that bat wing portion and stir in some eagle’s eyes so we’ll be able to see our destruction of Snow White!”

Play

the children know how to have fun

streaming along a river bank

daring to attempt the high slide

grownups lose play ability

Fandango’s Story Starter

This week’s Story Starter teaser is: “There is a difference between what you actually see and what you think you see,” he told her. “When under the influence of sleep, especially, a dream may seem real but it’s only in your mind.” She answers, “So that lipstick on your shoulder is just a figment of my imagination? And the wrinkled clothes you say you worked in all night…at the office, an illusion also? Get out Charlie, and don’t come back! By the way, that is what I actually said, not what you think I said!”
