31 Days: a Writing Challenge

Dancing Skeleton

The moon is on the graveyard, The night is cool and still, The wind blows gently, Yes it blows where it will, And the slightest sound, From a place that’s unknown, Come do the skeleton dance, And rattle my bones. ~part of “The Skeleton Dance” by Blaine McCanless I’ll be sharing here today:

Bird Watching

I feel much better since yesterday. I am back to trying not to worry about anything. I really hope that whatever my realtor worked out isn’t going to cost me more than I had already figured out. And I have to say that because we haven’t had the inspection yet, I can’t walk away dueContinueContinue reading “Bird Watching”

Frustration Seeps In

I am going totally off topic today. I have to vent my frustration somewhere. I feel I might fall over from the irritation I have right now. So I am in the process of buying a house. Mind you, this is the second house I have made an offer on in the last 5 months.ContinueContinue reading “Frustration Seeps In”

Stormy

Sandia Mountains, ABQ, NM Everything about this photo tells me it is fall. Look at all the texture and elements just in that little square. The clouds always roll off of the mountains like big burly waves crashing into the shore. The blue sky playing peek a boo with the white and gray clouds. AndContinueContinue reading “Stormy”

Simply Sunday

The wind has blown alllll day. And not just a meager wind. It was very forceful. Pillows and everything blowing all over the porch. It was not a go out and take pictures day which saddens me because I wanted to go to the local pumpkin patch. And finish Scavenger Hunt Sunday. Silly me decidedContinueContinue reading “Simply Sunday”

Serendipitous Saturday

My favorite word =) The mass accession of the balloons was scheduled at 7am (last Saturday is when they only hovered and never really left the balloon fiesta park). I walked the dogs at almost 8am. My old girl has a torn ACL and can’t walk that far, so I had turned around to takeContinueContinue reading “Serendipitous Saturday”

64 Shades of Color: Apricot

I am tired this week. I average over 20,000 steps a day just at work. And that’s on hard concrete. I feel I have aged 5 years in the last 6 months. Ughh. So as soon as I get into my house I need to seriously look for another job. (Shh, don’t tell anyone IContinueContinue reading “64 Shades of Color: Apricot”

Dirty Hands and Tired Eyes

Just an ordinary moment in the household. Older cousin playing XBox and younger cousin watching. They say he likes to watch. I actually think it’s Moe’s cutest moments, just watching. No talking back. Just in peace. Of course these are my 2 favorite boys (even if they drive me nuts sometimes). These are a fewContinueContinue reading “Dirty Hands and Tired Eyes”

Around the House

I would love to say I made this for my mom, but I think her neighbor made it. Do you see the “owl” face in the feathers? The two silver eyes and the pumpkin nose. The spider would be crawling up its body. Maybe a stretch on eyes for the one challenge I am linkingContinueContinue reading “Around the House”

Blissful Sweetness

Have you ever eaten Biscoff cookies? They serve them on Delta flights. We used to serve them at ATA too but I never really knew what they were. I had never heard that they were cookies you could buy or that they now made a spread. Not until I came across a recipe on PinterestContinueContinue reading “Blissful Sweetness”
