I have received blogging awards and thanks to them, I was encouraged to keep writing. After answering the many questions, I am now an award free blog. You all know me too well I think! 🥴

When new sets of questions appear I sometimes like to answer them and this is the case today. Sheree from https://viewfromtheback.com/author/sdwhatley/ posted questions from Nico at https://thelittlealchemyst.home.blog/2019/08/21/liebester-award/ and here is a copy of a few of them if you would like to take part. And please check out the blogs above, you will not be disappointed!😄

5. Extrovert

6. Dancing if I could, horrible singer, but enjoy both.

7. Favorite writer is a hard choice. It depends on the genre.

I may have been, as a child, but I don’t remember it. My fear is claustrophobia.

I have never been arrested but my worst horror was seeing my son arrested and being taken from court to jail for a traffic misdemeanor.

Omg, it’s Friday the 13th! I might as well clean house, what could go wrong?

Armistice day, November 11, 1918

I have jeweled collars, satin pillows, and a three tiered carpeted home.

Yes I am a spoiled cat, but I deserve it. All felines do!

My favorite abode though, is this cardboard box.

Wading was one of my greatest pleasures as a child. We had miles of brooks, shallow enough to enjoy without being dangerous. Of course we weren’t alone when cooling off in the water.

My sister, six years older, and I played for hours. A favorite thing to do was rip off sides of the brook and use them to build a dam. The dam would allow us to “swim” in a foot deep or more of water. It was great fun as one of us would hold the dam till completed and yell to the other, “mugs, more mugs” which is what we called the muddy sides we used to build our dam. We were muddy, wet, laughing, and thoroughly tired out and satisfied when we returned home.

Sitting here contemplating the water, the drops so mingled they flow, not fast as a river, but here they stop to rest a bit. Every drop lingers a few seconds inducing my eye to see its individual beauty.

I sit here every day and will be here for many years, observing my small surroundings, a symbol of time that passes; time so quickly observed in a single drop. Extreme pleasure comes when the sun reflects to cause a glint of a rainbow as the drops rise and fall. Discover each drop, reflect, and toss a coin to make a wish.

They sparkle

Dive deep in blue pool

Sapphire eyes

Turquoise specks

Wondrous blue delight I see

Truly blue heaven

I have a Pinterest site named “the eyes have it”, and was hard put to choose!😄
