FFftPP #48 – Sell Me
***
“It’s a bargain I tell you, right up there on the top! See? No one above you, no one trampling your yard, in fact you’ll be king of the mountain!” The realtor laughed a little too enthusiastically as I spied the building from the street.
I never thought of this as I read “Mountain Views” in the real estate sales brochure. It seemed pretty enough, but the only way to get to the home itself was a ride on a mountain goat. I should have realized that as soon as I arrived in town. It was overrun by corralled mountain goats!
Heeding Haiku with Chèvrefeuille
Nightly whistle blows
Signaling Big Boy’s return
Steam engine is home
Brew and Spew – Ceremony
She softly sat opposite me on a mat of rattan
Silken robes carefully, discreetly tucked
Ceremonial turning of the waiting vessel
Steam from the pot circling her face
As she leaned in to pour
No words spoken as I sipped the tea.

Sitting in the park in Mobile, Alabama
Saw a brother walking, quoting Dali Lama
Wise words I commented, that you made
Come sit down here, take respite in the shade
As he came to join me, I saw his robe was badly tattered
But the quiet words he said to me were only what mattered
He spoke words of comfort seeing I was in some pain
The seat I might have offered, but it was I who gained.
Beckie’s Thankful and Grateful Topic
Sometimes it’s the little things I am grateful for–right now I am listening to the maintenance guys outside trying to clear the sidewalks after our foot plus of snow, and in freezing temperatures, they drone on even as snow falls around them.
These professions of labor are rarely thanked so I’m doing it now. The people who make your life easier every day; the grocer, the postmen, constables, firemen, the road workers, the trash collectors, all work for us to help and keep us safe. Take a minute to thank them. I’m sure they will be surprised!
Last night at two a.m. my (birthday boy) grandson snap chatted me, as he was working a snowplow in the dark, in minus two degree temperatures. Gotta love the work ethic of these people.🥰

Rory’s Really You #4
***
Do you believe things happen for a reason?
As in fate, the law of three, Murphy’s law? I guess my answer is no. It seems whatever and however you try, it ends up being “it is what it is”! Accept it, glean the good, forget the bad, and move on.
Have you ever been so hyper focused on something you lost complete track of time?
As we speak! I’ve been trying to change themes on my site and have been at it for two plus hours already and it’s still not right! I also admit to binge watching a series and do not realize the time spent. But in my defense, I live alone and it doesn’t really affect anyone but me.
What contributions can you make as an individual to be more environmental and or what have you made as contributions?
Not much really, I am sad to say. I don’t buy water in bottles which I think is a huge addition to destruction of the environment. I have glass bottles I fill with tap water and leave overnight in the fridge instead. I have recycled everything possible until last year when I found out here in Cheyenne it all goes to the dump, not a recycle center. I pay bills by phone and EFTs to reduce paper waste. I try not to buy anything with lots of packaging but really, it’s not even a drop in the bucket.

FOWC: Wage
So much for Mr. T and his wage of war on the American justice system. Today it’s one loss and a tie. One brave judge said, No, Mr. president, you are not king! And as of this writing another brave judge supported ordinary citizens of the United States by standing up to the would be king, while our Supreme, (and I use that term loosely) Court cowers, putting off a decision to force him to show his taxes, as all other citizens are required. How are they Supreme when they can’t stand up for the Constitution? Mr. T is not king, he’s a citizen just like you and me.
