I remember the first time I heard the first sentence in this song, sung by Joe Cocker. I thought, what? Rewind! And of course I had to listen to the rest.

Rory’s Really You#2
***
Do you hoard, clutter, or constantly declutter?
I am not a hoarder but have been accused of it with my collection of birds. I have birds on living room curtains, a clock in the kitchen that announces the hour with a different bird call and some small funny seasonal birds I display.
Do you enjoy cooking, if so, what is your special dish and if not, what is a dish you wish you could create?
I have a few family favorites that I’m asked for, but now I rarely cook, it’s too difficult when sitting. Yesterday my daughter asked me to make muffins for her and I said, no way, I don’t like making muffins. I never did because it’s difficult to get all the batter in a cup without having to clean around the edge of the pan, my oven burns them on the bottom, etc etc. They are the easiest things to make, my hardest to bake. A dish I would like to create would be a perfect consistency of fudge. The fast ways are too soft and the long way needs perfect weather to set.
What are we likely to find in your condiment cupboard?
Nothing surprising, I imagine. The usual: mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, relish, vinegar, olive oil, Worcester sauce, soy sauce, maple syrup. Spices I have lots: basics for baking, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc; for cooking, Mrs. Dash, sage, poultry seasoning, basil, oregano, cumin, curry powder, garlic powder, etc.

Going on holiday is an oxymoron
Emphasis on the last part
Making plans for what to ride on
Train, plane, automobile, or cart
Sinking feelings start as you plan
Might we choose a caravan
Or we could try a scenic cruise
No sleeping bags or tents to use
Hotels, room service with a smile
While dollars from your wallet fly
A cabin in the woods retreat
Fire burning warmth is neat
Or mountain climbing might suffice
Hiking, ropes with clamps advised
All these plans in the making
I think too much time it’s taking
A new thought suddenly appears
I like our home, let’s just stay here.

Clouds roll in but stays smooth until the first tear falls. Then doppling the glassed over mind, the heart shows itself.

Fandango’s Friday Flashback

Reena’s Exploration Challenge
Gliding through endless blue
A visitor is following
Shall I sing you a song
Ahhhyouup, errewwwrip
Do you understand?
I’m saying welcome to my world.

REBLOG: The title alone is exceptional. Frank’s new book is out on Amazon now, check it out: “The New Asylum”.
| Inspired by the phrase‘The sniff of green leaves and dry leaves, and of the shore’ taken from ‘Song of Myself (Leaves of Grass)’ by Walt Whitman.

I strode the sands
once
of the chelsea
shoreline
walked
through the wavelets
on hampton beach
and where I strode
I raised
the salt flecks
in froth
and in the bubbles
to splash
on the shoreline
for me
it was
sublime
but in my heart
I retain
the leaves
the smell of eucalyptus
both dry
and green
I am overwhelmed
by their aroma
when walking
through forest
and I believe
that is where
my heart
resides
so I hold
the memories
of salt
inside me
all those times
of white spray
to recall
but I run my feet
through the leaves
at the base
of the woodland
crush
a green leaf
my heart
