• Ok, we get the priorities in this one: But what if we add this little guy here to the equation? Then anyone else just runs???   Talking about running, this one was very properly placed along the route of a half-marathon, with a sofa right behind it for the proposed nap… ;o) This post was written… Read more

  • Firefly

    It was the night before the vernal equinox. The wood fairies were busy in wrapping up winter and getting everything ready for spring. In the bark of the trees, pupae are about to hatch, just in time for the equinox festival. Now, the day has come! Night and day have the same length and life… Read more

  • I have recently (July) discovered the One Four Challenge, promoted by Robin, in which we are supposed to take a picture and edit it 4 different ways, posting an edit per week during the month. I participated on July, then August was what she calls Review Month, and there was no challenge. Then I participated… Read more

  • Flying away

    She lived in the foothills. Life there was good, but sometimes it could be painful. Not because of the place. The pain came from within. Then on a Sunday morning, she wakes up with absolutely no pain at all. She looks around and sees some old friends that were long gone. They’re looking at her… Read more

  • Thankful for 8 years

    Just out of Thanksgiving, today is my oldest daughter birthday. And she, together with her little sister, are the 2 things I’m the most thankful for in this world. Here’s then a picture from exactly 8 years ago, November 30th 2007. The day that changed my life forever. The day I became a mom! Read more

  • CCY: Diagonal Lines

    My first picture for this week’s challenge is one I wasn’t really the one who took, since I’m actually the one pictured on it. It was still with my camera, though… The picture showed a bit more of the structure, but I like how my body lines up with the pole, so I cropped it… Read more

  • He hated Shakespeare! No one ever knew why, but he did, indeed. Maybe it was the fact that he had to study all of those plays and sonnets at such a tender age. With the thou’s and thy’s and all those fancy old words that no one speaks anymore. Then, when he went to drama… Read more

  • This is the fourth and last week of the One Four Challenge for November. After last week’s post Nic suggested that I’d try GIMP. I installed it and had a quick look, but I have a confession to make. I did all my 4 edits at once at the beginning of the month and had… Read more

  • Giggles

    They were hiking up the mountain, when a rock slide blocked the trail just behind them. They heard the noise, run back to check. “On no! How are we going to go back now? Do you think we could climb over?” “I guess it would be too dangerous. The rocks may not be settled.” “What… Read more

  • Rest in peace, Barbara. We’ll miss your stories, your posts, your prompts, your comments, and even the blue-eyed cat. My sentiments to your husband Paul and all the people who met you personally or in the blogging community and will miss you in this word.   Read more

  • The lion and me

    In this area of the land live a lion and me. I’m slightly smarter than him, he’s MUCH stronger than me. It’s an open land and we get the visit from several other smaller or not very smart animals. We feed on them, sharing the load. They satisfy us so I don’t need to bother the… Read more

  • Travel Theme: Camaraderie

    Big sister helping little sister with reading. Currently that does not happen like this anymore, as little sister is much more interested in reading, which made her ‘pass’ big sister on reading skills… This post was written in response to Travel Theme: Camaraderie   Read more

  • Restriction

    She was a single mother of 4. Girl#1 and Boy#1 were good, healthy kids. Girl#2 was not healthy. Boy#2 was not good. He wasn’t bad either. But he had the bad habit of always getting in trouble. At 17 he was dating a crazy girl. She was trouble! Of the bad kind. They had a love… Read more

  • This is the third week of the One Four Challenge for November. For this week’s edit, I decided to make it look as if the picture was taken at twilight. I must confess I did not do great here, because the dark shadows may give me away, but at least I got more evening colors (or… Read more

  • Snow Prince

    This post was written in response to the Flash Fiction for Aspiring Writers, with photo prompt by Sonya, from Only 100 Words. It was created to be read with Cookie Swirl C’s (hehehehehe) voice. Although for Cookie Swirl C my Elsa would sound more like Anna, and the other way around, but oh well…. (Yes, that’s… Read more
