A spider worked all day, While I took many breaks, His finished product a masterpiece, Of symmetry with no mistakes. But never satisfied, And with his food to procure, He kept at it and at dawn, I saw that there were more. Each web was different, Some as yet not complete, It seems the standardsContinue reading “Nature’s Artwork”

The Wonders of Wednesday
Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man’s desire to understand.” Neil Armstrong I wonder why the rabbits picked on my lupines that I just planted.

Thursday’s Travels
I’ll start the day by gathering the blueberries, I ordered with excitement, Freezing some and eating many, Blue lips will serve as indictment. Next I’ll travel a few miles south, To help a friend whose husband’s in hospital, I’ll feed and play with their beloved cat. Hoping he’ll only nip me a little. Then onContinue reading “Thursday’s Travels”
Make a Rhyme Monday
Dear Monday, I want to break up. I’m seeing Tuesday and dreaming about Friday. It’s not me, it’s you.

Thankful Thursday
The unthankful heart discovers no mercies; but the thankful heart will find, every hour, some heavenly blessings.’ Henry Ward Beecher Gentle breeze billows curtains, Blue sky, clouds of fluff. Sometimes the beauty is missed, By a narrow gaze. Take joy in the little things. From a walk through Talleyrand Park–the first peony of the season.

On Recycling
Resurface. Reupholster. Repaint. Refinish. Make something old new again! Natalie DiScala I’ve thought a lot about recycling. My building does a good job, but there are somethings that can’t be recycled–black food containers, plastic straws, etc. I am thankful that God can take all our ugly sins and the trash of our lives and assureContinue reading “On Recycling”
Be Still
Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10 I recognize that I have a hard time being still. I come closest to that when I am in the middle of a good book. But I also love to beContinue reading “Be Still”
