The actions of congress or should I say non actions, just a bunch of Facebook retaliations that do not accomplish anything…it’s enough to make me want a drink!

Morning sun
Highlights your auburn hair
Streaks of red mixed with gold brown compete
–
Daring words
Eyes remind of oceans
The blue green of the sea reflected
–
Golden sand
Your skin shines through with gold
Soft and warm and pleasing textures too
–
Lovely smile
Unafraid to spread wide
Reactions to simple affections

MTB: A Lover as second nature
Moonwashed Musings
our country used to be seemingly safe
where citizens against government stood
while innocent protests held didn’t chafe
and “official” men wore no masks or hoods
this is the state of our country, sadly
even children are suffering actions, badly

Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – June 10, 2025
Moonwashed Musings
I chose number four, although it is still embarrassing, I think I’m the only one left that remembers it. We had a coal burning furnace in our house and a grate on the floor in the living room. Apparently, because I was a baby and have no memory of it, I carried my bedroom potty container into that room and dumped it on the grate. The worst thing about it was the pastor from church was in that room visiting with us.
😵💫😳😱🤯

One Liner Wednesday
WDYS 6-11-25
Books, books, books
I have to take a look
Especially books like these
Leather bound, to appease
The smell of leather, olden pages
Full of some of the fond phrases
A trip to another world
As precious pages are unfurled
A treasure trove of adventure
The reader sent as the pen endures
A person who reads has knowledge
Can take on a new voyage
Reading is essential
To aid mental potential.

Blue
I’m not as serious as possibly I should be with this post about blue. I try not to be in a blue mood and if I am it doesn’t last long. The days can sometimes come at you like a canon and you think “I can’t stand this. Why is this happening to me? What have I done to deserve this.”
This last year has been tough and it’s been tough on the whole family. My daughter started a new job and that takes her away from her last daughter who graduated as a senior from our high school here in Cheyenne. August 11 she will be leaving for college in South Dakota. I know as having my daughter leave for college and at the same time we left for Houston from Denver – that was extremely rough on my husband and I and we went through about two years of being very blue. Blue times have come and gone as they do in every family, but when I think of my granddaughter going to college in a very nice place and being able to play soccer which she loves, it will make us all happy. I love blue in almost all forms, especially blue eyes, which get my attention anytime I meet a new person . Bring on the blue!

Protests
I can’t keep quiet anymore. This whole Los Angeles business is making me angry. Sending our neighbors and friends who are in the National Guard or Marines into the situation where they are put in the of quelling these riots that were started as peaceful protests until Trump decided to send troops in to stop these protests. That is extremely unlawful. He has no right to do that and go against the mayor of the city or the governor of the state. I was a teenager in the 60s and I saw this and it shocked me. We should be aware and keep this from happening again.
acting like a king. Months ago I actually thought it was sort of comical like a Saturday Night Live skit, but it’s not – it’s very serious. It’s very harmful and he needs to be stopped by Congress voting the way they should be.
Pick 3
It was the worst of times and the worst of times…a shockingly bizarre happening when one of the richest, but worst examples of a leader became the United States president. I think some people who voted for him thought he had a sound platform and was a business mastermind. Of course his failed attempts and bankruptcies didn’t seem to matter. I guess they voted before looking into his losing, and liked his tv personality.

“I’m the type of woman that if I want the moon, I’ll get it down myself.” —Frida Kahlo
strength in women seen
poetry can show power
freedom to explain
words not harbored in her thoughts

words extinguish you
using quote inserts aids sense
and understanding
Frida Kahlo used artforms
her clear artistry conveyed
