Supermoon on November 14 is closest to Earth since 1948 http://www.earth.com

Here are this week’s questions:

1.  Do you like fireworks? Love them!


2.  Do you think fireworks should only be used by professionals? Yes!


3.  Do you think today’s fireworks are value for money?We just go to the park and watch for free.


4.  What is your favourite and least favourite firework? My favorites are the ones that go slowly down light raining flowers. My least favorites are the loud boom and no lights.

Gratitude: I have a lot to be grateful for this week! Spent quality time with a friend and family and a helpful doctor visit.☺️

Election Comic Relief

Claytoonz made me laugh today which was a good thing considering I had just spent two hours trying to get a website to accept my password. The paragraph is written by Clay Jones after the news of PNUT the squirrel and his companion, a raccoon when both had to be euthanized…see the story on the news or here: https://claytoonz.com/2024/11/04/candidate-nucketfutz/

Clay wrote: “This is very sad, right? Of course, it is. But then, MAGAts glommed onto the story and milked it as if the squirrel had been raped by a Venezuelan immigrant. Do not be surprised if Trump isn’t in a pet cemetery for a photo-op by the end of the day with the squirrel’s family.”

And yes I think it’s funny and yes I would not be surprised to see that photo op.😂

dVerse Poets – Prosery

***

Walking the leaf-strewn path, the sounds of one season disintegrating under my feet; above I feel the feathery white flakes out of the ninth-month midnight. It’s an early winter surprise, but I take joy in the chill. A fresh white blanket covers my western view this morning, and the ranch animals will be hard to wake. Cold breezes greet me and I don my well-worn parka that’s seen better days. Multiple baby goats yanked at the nylon bringing to view the downy lining and there are stains of cows’ cud on the sleeves, but it’s still warm. I greet the horses and stroke their warm muzzles and long necks. They always like reassurance in the morning. Only chickens and ducks are noisy demanders for their breakfast. Ranching is the only life for me, relaxing and rewarding.

“It was a sad day, I think it was back in 2024? Maybe earlier? My old brain takes a while figuring numbers lately, but I think it was November ‘24…yup hundreds of ‘em, just jumped right out of the boats and sank under the water, most drowned of course…that river was known for its maneater fish, maybe piranha? I think that was it…”.
“Oh my gosh great grandpa, why would they do that?”
“It was the election results, you know, back when Trump got re-elected? The whole world turned crazy and some I guess thought it was their only choice.”

PROMPT WORD:  WEDGE

***

She thought it would be a bridge. Instead it served as a wedge. Relationships were supposed to be give and take. This was her attempt to give of herself and her ideas. He listened a bit and then walked out. He never realized she was really a Republican.

Sunday’s Six Sentence Story Word Prompt!

The Sunday Whirl

***

Joe sighs, seeing ravaged blue skies flip into the gray of November. Ashes from his camp fire emerge into the chilled wind and then soak into the damp forest floor. A heavy wool weave masks the icy temperatures against his skin. Joe is saddened at the loss of autumn brilliance to bare limbs. Winter is upon him but he’s taking one last hike before the snow covers the trails.

“Let’s go on a cruise, it’ll be fun”, she said

Pictured a luxury liner in my head

Then as we arrived on the dock

Looked at her as I’m in shock

“It’s a pirate ship”, I exclaimed!

“It’s going to be great”, she proclaimed.

I looked at her, my expression blank

“Better enjoy, or you’ll walk the plank!”

Threats aside we did have a great time

Next vacation, her choice will be fine.
