5 Things Tuesday

***

1. Spinach, no fuss, no cleaning or pruning needed for a favorite vegetable – “I yam what I yam”💪🏻

2. Peaches, since my favorite Palisade peaches from Colorado have a short season

3. Smallest cans of Bush’s baked beans, excellent snack dish.

4. Classico tomato and basil sauce, delicious and handy for a quick meal

5. Green beans, family favorite, easy to prepare

There are more but these are “staples” in my cupboard. Spacing with photos is wonky🙄🤪

dVerse Poets Quadrille – Bother

***

What a bother picking up

The paper mask, the coffee cup

Toss it, it’s had its use

Now it’s just a piece of refuse

Why bother to use a trash receptacle

Leave it as another careless spectacle

Soon it will join another

Why bother?

3TC – Teenage Angst

***

Such stuff as dreams are made of

Turned over cattywampus

As I searched for the poetry in life

When taking action and left home.

Q for quick, which is a way of life for most in US cities, everyone hurrying here and there to work, school, shop, etc. even with a virus, the city never stops. My son and family moved from Denver to a small village in France a year ago. He had worked in a hectic lifestyle for thirty of his fifty years and decided it was time for a change.

A complete turnaround in lifestyle as they went from a high rise apartment to an ancient abandoned abode built in 1811. It is fascinating to me! What an adventure and I’m proud of them following a dream and making it happen.

Their quiet country atmosphere now reminds me of where I grew up and I’m so happy they are able to experience it.

FFFC#114 – Why?

***

I chose this. It seemed like the best decision for both of us, but now as I watch the shoreline disappear, my heart is full of sadness. Maybe it would have worked, being away for long periods of time, but I just couldn’t take the chance. It’s the life I chose before we met.

“That’s just the way I like it”, he thought. Plain and simple, no frills, just the basics needs, bare necessities. She had finally turned into what he wanted. It just took a few years to hone the wild beauty who originally attracted him, into the barefoot waitress she is now.
