Such simple pleasure
Sand, shadows, serenity
Natural goodnight

MLMM Wordle 242 – Barnyard Bachelor
Bully thought he’d try a little remote seduction on the bovine bevy of beauties, and made what he thought might be suggestive guttural noises to make their cheeks red. Bully always enjoyed hiding behind the shallow trough, floating an occasional corn stalk to see their reaction. He of course hoped the offering would make them dizzy with desire, causing their huge supple lips to biting. Just the thought made Bully tremble, but of course he was best at being an observer, as he was failing to define his dreams into real action. After all, he was only a young barnyard bull with a dream.

One Liner Wednesday 5-26-21
What’s up with that? Well today I promise no rants. You heard me, the US may be falling apart, worldwide disasters abide, and even ancient ice has decided it’s had enough of hanging around its neighborhood . You can buy a ticket to Mars if you don’t like it here, but the sand is not always tanner. I decided I’ve pretty much missed the month of May, isolated from everything except my friendly blog buddies and thank heavens I had you all to read and laugh with. School is ending and I’m hoping for a peaceful summer, so “Dream On”:

Travels to Vermont
Sisters and families missed
A journey too far
Traveling not an option
Our fingers do the walking.

3TC – Love and Lemonade
He loved lemonade, but only the sweetest thin skinned heavy lemons would do. Frank was so particular that he never indulged in restaurant fare, only his own coveted recipe was acceptable. That is, until he was sitting in the park one hot summer afternoon and a vision of loveliness so incredibly beautiful caused Frank’s mouth to fall open and looking ridiculous, while staring at Miss Amanda James.
You can’t blame Frank, for Miss Amanda was indeed shockingly gorgeous, with pale skin, rose hued cheeks, vibrant blue eyes and black wavy hair. She complemented her beauty with dresses made from the finest imported silk and hand made lace accoutrements, including tight fitting gloves. No lady would be seen in public, especially walking in a park, with bare hands.
Frank finally shut his mouth and every fiber of his being was awake with sensual desire for Miss James. Of course she could not help noticing how Frank was practically drooling as he gazed at her, but she just kept on walking by him. Suddenly one of her gloves drifted down and landed on the path. Frank saw this and leapt at the opportunity to scoop it up and weakly said, “Miss? Miss, I think you dropped this.”
Amanda stopped and turned , saying, “Well, my my, I am so happy you found it! I don’t know what I was thinking, how clumsy of me.” Even Frank sobered up enough to realize this was a ruse, but he planned on taking full advantage of it.
“It might be the heat. Please let me introduce myself. I am Franklin Smith”, extending his hand toward her.
“Miss Amanda James, sir. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” Frank thought for a minute and then asked Miss James if she would like to join him for some lemonade. He had a full thermos of the ice cold drink and invited her to sit by him on the park bench.
“Oh, I would just kill for something cold to drink, thank you!” From the moment she tasted Frank’s special lemonade, her mind was already convinced. This man was going to bring her the joy she needed in her life.

I see you there, orb of mystery, seeing all from above. Quiet as you seem with undeniable beauty in different seasons, do you notice how we all change here too?
Flower moon observed
Questions which I have many
Asked, will you answer?

Just another day at the Joneses.
Well Charlie, I guess this tops the looking for a mermaid idea. That was the worst vacation we ever took! All that sand, getting into everything and I mean every thing.
I think you’ve finally lost that venerable reputation I always admired. Constantly looking for the latest new invention was interesting for a while, but this takes the cake!
First of all, once you flip the switch it starts vibrating, not at all stable. It’s going to sputter itself right off the windowsill! You should have taken the time to fill out that senior’s choice application to get a discount on a real air conditioner.
And I wouldn’t be surprised if this wasn’t a Russian snooping device with hidden cameras and mini microphones–yep. Look at those vents to record our voices and those black lenses! I’ll bet that’s why it was so cheap, and did you see the label? Yup, made in China.
Irma sits back in her rocker, staring at the device, while Charlie just smiles, enjoying the coolness.

Meet a Real Hero
MLMM Sunday Writing Prompt 5-23-21
It seems that at the present time everyone is speaking (including me) and there is no holding back which creates no peace.
Blatant condemnation about masks, for instance, has hit home with me the last month. Assuming, and you know what that means, that at a gathering of family with an outside friend where everyone is vaccinated except a health compromised 14 year old, and finding out after hours long cooped up in a car with the “friend” that she didn’t believe in masking or vaccinations, and was Covid positive. She didn’t know it at the time was her excuse but to me it is no excuse. If you are going to be hanging out with a family that has three vulnerable people with health issues? I find that reprehensible.
I haven’t seen anyone from the group for over a month because I haven’t been well. I am vaccinated but what I thought was a cold turned into bronchitis and I’m still not feeling good. I don’t want to spread those germs to my family.
Wearing a mask against a deadly disease is a tiny thing to ask. The CDC seems to be wishywashy as far as rules are concerned and state officials do not stand a united front on this issue. It’s like being in a boat with no paddle!
Everyone speaks about their own freedom. So where is the freedom of vulnerable people who need to be protected from you? The idea of people being trusted to be honest and just say they have been vaccinated so it’s ok to do what they want is a farce. People lie about tiny insignificant things to get into a movie, or have a free lunch; what makes you think they won’t lie to get into your business or restaurant, and what business that’s already in dire straights is going to pay for extra employees to handle these checks?
These problems are overwhelming and unsolvable, in my opinion. I’m just like the rest of you, tired of the lack of freedom but my life depends on it and my family’s lives too. This is not over. Wear a mask, get tested, get the vaccines available. Think of all the millions of people who have died and would give anything to be able to have had the shot.
