icicles loud drips

plopping on leftover snow

puddles of cold sit

sun baked drifts disappearing

spring is just showing its face

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt

A two day adventure was a car trip last year. My daughter and granddaughter took me on a road trip to visit friends in Colorado. We had moved as a family in 2014 to Wyoming. The trip was quick and I wondered if my legs and back could sit in a car that long, but it worked out fine. We grew in our relationships to know each other more, laughed ridiculously and had so much fun.

Weekend Writing Prompt #355 – Adventure

MLMM Saturday Mix

Your nonsense word this week is: “muirmap” Remember, define it; then use it!

***

(Route shown for California Redwoods)

It’s obvious to me

the word muirmap’s about those trees

Those big masterful ones you see

In Californeeyaaee😳🙄

Beautiful areas and to be specific

They’re in a state edged by the Pacific.

Redwood trees spoken of with admiration

By a Scot named John Muir and whose creation

Of a National Park system for us all

So redwoods and more would not fall.

No Nonsense – Saturday Mix, 16 March 2024

Anyone else?

I have been having a hard time writing on the blog and wonder if it’s me, my phone, or WP! For example, today writing that short poem on SoCS, the lines jumped around and I had to keep copying and pasting to get them in the order they belonged. This happens with story writing also, if I change or add any words. Anyone else having this problem?

And let me take this opportunity to say

to all of my readers and for your comments which means you actually take the time to read my nonsense and let me know what you think. I love the interaction with you as I’m sure all of us bloggers do.

SoCS

Some people love wool

I’m a dissenter

Wearing wool on my body

Never does enter

Cause it’s the kind

My befuddled mind

That’s allergic, oh yes

Give me cotton vests.

Snow is melting in icy patches and the temps are warming to 36F so all is well. Soccer tourney this weekend 👍🏻👏

Fandango’s Flashback Friday

#writephoto 11-30-19 by rugby843

Mary saw it in a dream. A perfect scene, with all the elements she loved. It was only a dream, the same one every night, of a meeting. She would be sitting there by the tree, autumn leaves falling around her, cozy blanket to perch on and another for warmth.

Mary would wait there until the blackness rose above the sunset and the chill made her leave. An unrealized dream of every sunset, waiting for him to appear over the horizon and be with her once again.
