Is the sun shining? I am a light collector – if I wake to the sun, I am refreshed. A cloudy, dark morning makes me want to stay in bed.
Word collecting is on my mind as I read blogs and search the web for meanings and hope to use them in some way every day.
Having to admit I’m an emotional garbage collector on some days is true but it’s rare for me. I try to stay even minded but these days in my country, it is difficult.

Reena’s Xploration Challenge #385
Busyness stopped is shown on this dusty desk as the outspoken owner and author is under arrest. True enough he spoke the words and received a reprimand, no rewards. Well known books and news outlets speak and report our government representatives are weak. What it takes for change are people who speak the truth and are willing to stand up! Sadly it seems the typewriter will suffer no more finger tapping this summer.

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!
The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS June 14, 2025
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
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
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.
😵💫😳😱🤯

WordPress drive-thru’s
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.

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.
