dancing in the air

Sometimes I’d like to be on a Far Away Planet – maybe Risa, off of Star Trek. I can’t ever find any of these constellations like the Big Dipper, but do you know how people see things in the clouds? I’m like that with stars, so I probably combine some parts. I always turn into a pumpkin at midnight, but I’m not Cinderella just because we share the same curfew.

blog topic parameters and how it works

Hard Bonus: Incorporate changing temperatures

Easy Bonus: Mention lentil or your favorite kind of fall soup

moon halos

Lurking in the shadows Under the Light of a Lunar Eclipse of the harvest moon, dried cornstalks and jack-o-lanterns on scarecrows make for mystic stories. Normally, changing temperatures is a downward trend, but it seems we went from cooling to heating season overnight. I enjoy Halloween, it’s my favorite holiday, though 4th of July is equal because I’m a summer girl. Cool nights with a backyard fire pit enjoying dal shorba (India lentil soup) and hot chocolate…

Easy Bonus: Incorporate windchimes and snapdragons

Fantasy Eden

Some of my meds have me dreaming weirdly. Maybe they’re just memorable because they’re vivid. I didn’t used to remember much. The surgery went well but was painful for several days due to all that needed to be done. Sooner or later, this will Fade to a Dream… with Night Witches stealth through the night to save the day… I’d like glow-in-the-dark dragonfly windchimes throughout my yard with the mild scent of golden snapdragons permeating…

I’m still mostly in an immobilizing sling. 1 armed bandit until I start therapy. Hoping to be in minimal playing condition by mid-October. we’ll see

field of broken wishes

Life is kind of like a Dandelion Salad. strong to grow anywhere, leaves to eat healthy, roots to be stable, stem to reach to the sin, flower to brighten the day, seeds to wish upon…

My 1st kiss was at a Lutherdale retreat center… it totally wasn’t what i expected. awkward, weird, no good at all, but at least it wasn’t the worst life experience.

now, a blast from the past, with a clip, i sing a song 4 u – inappropriately silly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hw2Y1sV2rKk
