  • The Soul of Spring #SoCS

    The Soul of Spring #SoCS

    In these very troubled days for our world, life has become a roller coaster of emotions for many people, even those who perhaps don’t acknowledge such things. Depression, mood swings, panic attacks and listlessness are all signs of discomfort of the heart, mind and soul.  This prolonged Winter, along with its erratic weather patterns and anomolies,…

    They All Axed For You/#SoCS

    No, we weren’t at the Audubon Zoo. As a side note, I have never been to that zoo, though I  have observed it from the park that runs beside it. And I have visited many amazing zoos as well. Anyway, when I saw Linda Hill’s #SoCS prompt I could think of no better way to get the…

  • Celebration! #SoCS

      My soul soars with childlike glee while every bush and sleeping tree yawns with fresh humility before the light that magically wipes away gray dormancy transforming with pure ecstasy, its palette filled abundantly with Spring’s unique majesty. I hold my breath!   Lest jealous Death- Old Man Winter’s anarchist- arrange a final chilling tryst,…

  • Affirmative, Captain #SoCS

    Affirmative, Captain #SoCS

    We need to get this straight. I will affirm here and now that I have felt less than inspired in the last week. I’m working on the novel-still…maybe forever..but really loving the progress. It is just not something one can easily do at the end of a work day or week, popping from pragmatic, ordered…

  • Pinch Me! #SoCS and Jus Jo Jan

    How lucky can one person be? Pinch me! This is the second weekend in a row that the #SoCS prompt has been right up my alley! Thanks Linda! This week’s prompt is television. But what to choose? My mind is a traffic jam of excitement right now. Not that I couldn’t live without tv. When I am…

    Art Matters/#SoCS

    When I saw the SoCS JusJoJan prompt for today I was nearly giddy with excitement. Finally something easy. But, wait, what kind of art to post about. You see, I am kind of an art ADHD, in that I am not committed to one thing. I am sort of an artsy Jane-of-All-Trades and perhaps Master-of-None. I love…

  • Because/Poetry #SoCS

      September now has passed from view and Autumn in the mists of dank and often dreary days of Winter’s cold and unsympathetic hand.   Suppose we, then, weep not for days in whose long, languid shadows we swore at sweat, nor regret  the changing climes in these fearful times.   Soon the sap will…

  • First Lights

    ‘Twas the week before Christmas, and time, it would seem, to seek out a few of my favorite things.   The local town square is always so bright with sparkling magical holiday lights!   But first… A feast!   I know it doesn’t look much like roast beast! The Whos were having their office affair…

  • Imagine Me #SoCS/#Poetry

    Imagine Me #SoCS/#Poetry

      Imagine me not what you see- naked, shivering, withered tree still donning bits of finery. My skin gone rough and graying and the ground beneath decaying where my roots are firmly planted as my spine grows bent and slanted.   Close your eyes… try to recall, the kiss of Fall so sweet he made us blush…

  • Scenes From A Wedding/The Final Chapter, Part 1

    I must apologize for leaving you all hanging about our September travel event to Nebraska for our whirlwind weekend. My oldest got married while Number Two had a new baby arrive. I am going to hopefully wrap up our tale over the next week. Since today’s #SoCS prompt from Linda Hill is roll/role, it seemed the right time…
