Even through that beautiful lace
I can feel your wedding embrace
Forever together is the pledge
A promise with the sweetest edge
Passion was utmost at our beginning
After some years, it is still winning
Side by side always while the world keeps spinning.

My 91 year old sister going to get the SHOT🥰
Chilled winter bite
Through wind, travels your body
Chatters even teeth

I was traveling in orderly fashion as one in a column of Scouts. As we were all Cubs, on the brink of becoming full fledged, as yet we didn’t have the internal strength to refuse. It was the style of the narcissistic man to demonstrate his will as a commander, even though we were just boys.
As we entered the forest, we seemed ill equipped to deal with deep snow covered ground and constant flops of snow falling on us from the trees that chilled our uniforms. It might have been a lesson in bonding with nature, but resulted in the majority of the ordered line having the chills and fever of influenza.
As a seasoned college student, I look back on this ill fated adventure as a reminder that not all authoritarians are worth minding.

I took advantage of the free short session of Peacock TV and watched the entire Harry Potter series again. It has been a while and I very much enjoyed seeing all the characters again. My favorite is Hagrid, but sad to see the great actor who played Snape – Alan Rickman – and his way of talking in the series, so hilarious–page 394:

My mother had a certain acumen for growing beautiful plants and flowers, inside our home and out. We had a huge vegetable garden and a flower garden as well. In the spring after a grey cold Vermont winter, the sight of daffodil blooms would fill me with delight. Even now, seeing or smelling the scent of daffodils is like homecoming.

Ginger is one of my favorite spices as I prefer sweet concoctions with this and nutmeg, cloves, for cookies and cakes, or the ultimate treat, warm gingerbread with whipped cream. My favorite chicken salad has candied ginger in the recipe, adding flavor.
Are you as tired as I am of this sorry bunch?
Spouting their sour grapes trash?
They must think they are heroic
But I’d like to give them a punch!

I’m cute, I’m small, but that’s not all
I’m mischievous to a fault
Here I sit on my dad’s shoulder
Trying to act a bit bolder
In truth, he’s gargantuan
He’s a male orangutan.
We are notorious for our strength
Seven times humans with arms at length
Residing in rainforests only
But we never feel lonely
Our lifetimes are short
Nearly half of yours
And our bigness wouldn’t fit through your doors
When we sense danger we let out a hiss
Warning our friends, sounds like a kiss
We like to live in trees like this:
