Get out the wellies
We call them mud boots
Trudge into the garden
And find bare roots
Nourish them well with vegetable food
Cover with tents till it’s not so cool
Sunshine and ground wetness will do the rest
Can’t wait for fresh veggies to test!

Lately I’ve been taking a trip to war zones with the Cordell Logan mysteries, written by David Freed. Cordell is one of those characters I love, former Seal, etc. If you decide to listen to this series, skip “Fangs Out” as it is narrated by a horrid monotone boring person. Read it instead.😉
You will have to excuse my use of “o” and “i” mistakes as they sometimes get by my tired old eyes. At least if something comes across as shocking using them, you’ll know why. 🙄
Yesterday I had the privilege of riding around with my daughter and her daughter- we are 75, 50, and 25. We always have a fun time and noticed we all made slight groans getting back into the car which caused unified laughter. Mine from sitting too long in the wheelchair, my daughter walking too long on her bad knee and my granddaughter having had hip surgery she’s still recovering from. What a trio!😀 No matter. It’s always a fun trip!

Who should wear this crown, surely a larger head than mine
It’s gaudy over decorated shape holds jewels opaque—no shine?
To say it’s ugly would be harsh, but I’m no connoisseur
I’m just glad it’s not my head the heaviness to endure.

The arid landscape was flat and had smaller grains of sand for easier navigation. The ants in lockstep trailed after the leader of the colony, it’s expatiate warning heeded by all. The dune buggy races were beginning soon and all needed to find cover ASAP!
“When worker ants come to know about some kind of food or other resource, they leave a mark with the help of Fermons Liquidi to come back. In this way, the worker ants leave a similar mark for the ants that follow them. Every ant leaves these traces of the ants coming after it. This helps them to walk together.”

It’s never completely dark in my bedroom but even on a snowy day like this, I look forward to the sun streaming in with its morning rise.
white light prevails less
orange and yellow now rule
colored brief beauty

Finding fun in your day keeps you in the light.
I rub my morning eyes
Tired from a fitful sleep
Dreaming once again of you
Seeing your chunky tanned hands
Soft to the touch
The wide gold wedding band still present.
Many years, it still remains our symbol—
A lasting commitment of early love.

Everything is harried
Everything amuss
My fault that I lost it
Under my arm of trust.
Moving also is to blame
I know it’s somewhere safe
But having lost it
Causes chaos just the same.
