Off in the quiet shouldered blur of Rocky Mountain tips, stretched above the mists of a dawn’s horizon, I had once again awoke to the natural beauty of Colorado.
Such a sight to greet me on a chilled morning and I had to laugh as my still thoughts were suddenly disturbed by the whirred sounds of a lawn mower. However, that ordinary sound interruption yielded another sensation—the scent of newly mown grass.

I passed by and heard her speak to me…asking for help:
This isn’t beautiful patina, it’s mold!

I woke up to the morning sky first
Baby blue, just like we rehearsed
When I get up off this ground, I shake leaves back down
To the brown, brown, brown, brown ’til I’m clean
Then I walked where I’d be shaded by the trees
By a meadow of green
For about a mile
I’m headed to town, town, town in style
With all my favorite colors (yes, sir)
All my favorite colors (right on)
My sisters and my brothers see ’em like no other
All my favorite colors
It’s good day to be, a good day for me
A good day to see my favorite colors, colors
My sisters and my brothers, they see ’em like no other
All my favorite colors
Now take me to the other side
Where the baby blues birds fly
In grey clouds, or white walls
Or blue skies we gon’ fly, feel alright
Now we gon’ ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
Each time like ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
And at least I can say I anticipate
A homecome parade as we renegade in the morning light
With all my favorite colors (yes sir)
All my favorite colors (yes ma’am)
My sisters and my brothers see ’em like no other
All my favorite colors
All my favorite colors (right)
All my favorite colors (yes ma’am)
My sisters and my brothers see ’em like no other
All my favorite colors
It’s good day to be, a good day for me
A good day to see my favorite colors, colors
My sisters and my brothers, they see ’em like no other
All my favorite colors

Everyone thought she was demure
Surprised at how she could endure
Always the optimist, smiling at each task
That was before they discovered the flask.

I don’t need much of it to hang myself. It seems to be attached to my tongue and jumps out frequently. But the rope is small and I try to keep it at bay.

Where is the conciliatory pathos in the total group of congress people who are sitting in judgment of the newest nominee (Jackson) for the Supreme Court? There were plenty when that (man, and I use the term loosely) Kavanaugh was in the hot seat.
I guess we could revive all the ancient biased oppressive laws of past centuries and keep endorsing people like Cruz, Abbott, Hawley, Graham, McConnell and Blackburn; all who undoubtedly will vote no.
We can succumb to our nonchalant living as if those people do not have influence that is scary, even mind boggling in their prejudice, and hiding behind their so called religious beliefs. We could do that. But that is cowardly and Ms. Jackson deserves better.

TOTAL
SUCCUMB
REVIVE
Joe was gangly and bony thin.
He always wanted to fit in.
He kept feelings held within.
Having no athletic ability, the other boys looked critically.
He joined them often, even then.
Finally harmony did begin.

1. Radio. Our washing machine was a round tub with a ringer attached. Our dryer was a clothesline in the yard. The dishwasher was anyone who’s turn it was. We had one bathroom with a tub and stool, sink, no shower. My grandfather who lived in an attached small apartment to our farmhouse preferred to use his outhouse😂
2. Television
3. A big console radio and when we got a tv it was small rectangular box and all snow in the picture
4. We listened to the radio for music and had an old Victrola in the attic where my sister and I played 78rpm records. Music was provided by my father who played piano, violin and banjo, and my mother who played the organ. The last music I purchased was a cd of the Pentatonix in 2015.
5. No
6. We had a big wooden phone on the kitchen wall. It had a separate cord attached receiver and you had to use a crank on the side to ring the operator. Each household in the party line had a different set of rings, long or short or combination. You picked up the receiver to listen to make sure the line was clear before using, which meant conversations could be heard by anyone who was rude enough to listen in. I do not have a landline now.
7. Toys I remember were rare. The woods, fields, yard, hay barn and brooks were my source of fun. And my favorite, my swing on the big oak tree.
8. I can’t think of any. I suppose my iPhone now is the best I have.
9. My first cellphone was a tiny one from Walmart to keep in case the landline went out. I think it was around 2012 when I bought it.
10. I’m not good with technology. I have a tv and a cellphone, iPad and that’s it. My new apartment came with gorgeous ADA appliances with so many features it’s mind boggling! There’s even a Wi-Fi setting on the washing machine🙄😂

Yes they are corrupt, some aged, sitting in their vintage congressional seats passing judgment as easily as sipping their morning coffee. Their manifold abrupt, rude and controversial questions seem to pour forth like refuse from a broken pipe. Any worthy recruit is held down and interrogated as if they propose to topple the questioner’s ivory tower.
Hang in Ms. Jackson👍🏻

The humans found
She stood her ground
When asked to the ball
She had given her all
Constructed a gown just perfect for her
Sure it would impress and cause their allure
But when she walked in some started to swoon
Even if she was the prettiest in the room!
