morning glory call

waking the garden flowers

open your petals

As always an optional gratitude section is included at the end.

Here are this week’s questions:

1.  When buying a new home appliance, are you offered optional insurance cover (for additional cost) and if so do you take it? Yes

2.  When purchasing something for the home, like a new TV, freezer, cooker, carpets, etc, do you pay outright or take terms? Depends on the amount

3.  What is the worst purchase for the home you can remember? At the moment it is two different garbage cans that don’t fit the space I need so they’re sitting inconveniently in my bedroom space.😳🤨

4.  For your family room/lounge, do you prefer couches, easy chairs, recliners or a mixture of seating arrangements. I have a mix right now since downsizing from another apartment.

Gratitude: I am grateful some medical tests for a loved one turned favorable. Yea!

Share Your World 15th June 2026

Life has its many ups and downs

Heads aplenty wear wealthy crowns

But I have too many bills

Causing many deathly ills

Soon I’ll be buried underground.

Laughing Along With A Limerick

I find it peculiar
A myth familiar
Seen in present days
A man’s impudent ways
He took a peek
From Pandora, a Greek
And opened the box, it
Let out the toxic
Speeches and rules
Put fear in schools
In our homes and streets.

the king rests

spring done summer comes

cover me

–

green vines dress me up

a necklace of leaves surround

contrasting black bark

I love this photo and subject☺️

Maybe he thought it a must. Clearing off history, causing historical dust. Imagine the shock as he truly said, it’s necessary, and then we saw with dread, the demolition. Gone was tradition. A sad sight indeed. Gone was his cause for admiration.

Sunday’s Six Sentence Story Prompt Word!

Protesting? Do not stop! Yes it is speaking truth, even when unkind. You need to ignore the callous and concentrate on facts – definitely necessary.

Melissa’s Fandango Flash Fiction Challenge #376

“Potatoes? Throwing potatoes? That’s your idea?” Joe almost laughed but couldn’t .We can’t even reach them!” Joe shifted, twisted in the rough old ropes as they prickled his neck. The wires used to pinch his wrists together were eating into his skin. His friend Mike started to have glassy eyes and was unresponsive as the continuing fright of the situation was drifting through his mind. Still, a runner might be coming down the road, and discover them, Joe felt he had to keep up hope. He tried to wiggle his way up closer to the bank of the highway but it was too painful to keep it up. Mike finally flopped over, probably losing consciousness. Joe didn’t give up and kept moving.

Ben may have made a point

But he’d be surprised at the new joint

At 1600 Pennsylvania

Probably couldn’t contain it

Words of truth, freedom, historical

Seeing it now as just comical

A figure of leisurely fun and games

No, it will never be the same

Representing the American way

It’s lost its past and future days

Leisurely is a congressional word

Their non actions are absurd

Get rid of them all, especially Mike

Rules with a fist I dislike

If I disappear from this blog

You’ll know they got me, for my song.
