Dr. Tanya’s Five – Burgers
Out and about today with my daughter, we went to Wendy’s drive through. The burger was delicious and their peach lemonade hit the spot! Yum!

Two Doors Down
Sanford’s Grub and Pub, aptly named the Kardiak Arrest burger
I think I need Speedy Alka Seltzer after looking at these!
Plop, plop, fizz, fizz!

Colleen’s Weekly Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge 9-15-20
Standing tall above
The lowly moss and seedlings
Mighty strength seen as
Red, shows a single passion
A transitory triumph.

Tuesday Writing Prompt
Her eyes were not ordinary
They were orbs that took you out of yourself and invited you in
A galaxy of sapphire stardust
Glistening when aroused
Sparkling when she smiled
Alive with anticipation as she approached
Only darkening in disappointment–no ordinary blue.

Houston Highways
I was chatting about “the High Street” at https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com and asked her about the use of “the” in front of the street name. I hear it referred to in British programs. She informed me it means a main road. That reminded me of driving on the high streets of the interchanges in Houston, Texas. The very highest road was curved and everyone was still driving seventy plus mph, even semis! I don’t know how many made that curve safely, but look out below!
Once I knew all the names for the roads, I navigated the city easily. I really like driving and in Houston you rarely get honked at. People stopping, tires rolling off, trash falling out, people going from lane one to lane four with no signals, anything goes! But that one high curved road always made me nervous.

What day is it anyway?
Actually it started out early, with the person above me resetting his vibrating phone alarm over and over. It was chilly so just stayed under the covers for a bit.
Showered, and ready to take the trash, mail a few thank you notes for my birthday gifts and do laundry. Exciting, eh?
I have an inordinate fear of spiders. I don’t even like seeing pics of them. I have a spider stain on my bedroom wall left there as a warning to any creatures of their fate if they invade my territory.
I must have picked up a huge one on my outdoor run for when I was folding my towels, saw a big brown one. And I’m talking big! My dilemma- should I shake him off to brown carpet where I’ll lose him? Yikes!
Panic set in and I shook him off the towel to keep him off my bed. If I had lost him on my bed I’d never get on it again–FEAR!
I scooted out to the kitchen to get my hand held vacuum and luckily he was still moving on the carpet so I sucked him up.
I also have a fear of things crawling back out of the vacuum so I went outside and dumped him on the gravel. I still get shivers picturing him. I know it’s ridiculous but it is a never gone childhood fear.
(Shiver)
So how was your day?🤠

dVerse Poets – Prosery
Dwelling in a covered space, the wolf family cuddled against the cold. Their meal was scarce, the cubs still hungry, and the father nudged them closer to their mother. He was on watch, as ever in the shadows, close by. He took pride in his family, being able to protect them, and never despaired their mother would stand by him in a fight.
He looked up through the icy trees, thinking of his youthful days. Glancing back to his children, thinking, in their dreams they sleep with the moon.

MLMM Wordle #206 – First Time Hiker
The day is wet and gray, but it is beautiful, however, seeing the pine needles bouncing from large raindrops. Walking in new ankle boots reflects my inexperience as a hiker and I can feel the starting pain of a blister. As we reach the summit we see the ineffable extended beauty of the Rocky Mountains towering above the vale.

Alone on a dreary day
I bicycle along the way
I had hoped the sun would stay
Bright, but now you can see
The path is widening from a vee
Possible adventure lies ahead
Rain filled clouds overhead
I’ll just ride back home instead.

You asked me to fly
You provided unclipped wings
Now we soar as one.
