Before I knew all the rules
I was constantly fooled
Trying to copy without miss takes
Oh what a mess I would make
Even now I’m a copying fool
Sometimes my knowledge of the tool
Leaves a bit to be desired
If employed I would be fired
For oftentimes in my haste
It doesn’t all adhere in the paste
And what to my wondering eyes should appear
Something not meant, too odd for my sphere.
Haste makes waste – a little bit sexist, but–1575☺️

I love this song by Sam Smith, released in 2017 but I think appropriate now.

I got the message, make your own bread
It’s the kneading part that I dread
I’d use a food processor for the dough instead
But that would require getting out of bed.

Mr. Jones took the social distancing rule a bit too far when checking on the herd of cows on his farm. Early in March he installed a hidden camera in the scarecrow. The curious cows became used to clicking noises from the structure, and laughed secretly, hiding behind the trees.

A meeting of quietude and noise
Silent ferns join in the audience as
Churning waters break the silence
And reticent moss covered rocks observe.

Love is only what makes dancing to life’s tune worthwhile.

My only claim to fame
Is the barbecue game
The metal frame contains the flame
So every steak turns out the same.
I must admit it’s a welcomed blame
Being known as the “BBQ dame”.

“A little goes a long way”…true words for almost everything in life unless of course you are speaking of love, compassion, coffee, chocolate—(insert your own favorites). We need a bit more of the love and compassion these days, and I’m sending it out to you today!♥️🤗😌👩🏻🦰

“It’s my birthday, it’s my birthday!” she yells as she jumps up and down on her parents’ bed. It is five in the morning and Julie kept her curtains opened all night so she would wake up the instant it was light outside.
Julie’s mom begrudgingly opens her eyes and grabs her phone to check the date. With no work days for a while she needed the phone to know what day it was. “Oh, no, Julie, it’s tomorrow, but don’t worry, it’ll be here before we know it.”
Julie takes a minute to realize what her mom said and then starts jumping on the bed again. “Okay, it can be Charlie’s birthday then”, holding up her favorite teddy bear for her mom to see. Julie’s mom pulls up the covers.
