Wooly Worms…

       Have you heard? In a little town in North Carolina there’s a round of races about to happen. It isn’t runners, it isn’t cyclists, it isn’t cars…It’s Wooly Worms! Back in the 1940s a scientist exploring the area started studying these furry guys.… Continue Reading “Wooly Worms…”

Pick Me, Pick Me…

    I volunteered to work once a week at the ‘pumpkin patch’ – to raise money for kids for camp. Pumpkin patches aren’t really something you see in south Florida – we just import the pumpkins and pretend we live where its fall. Heck, we’ll… Continue Reading “Pick Me, Pick Me…”

Share Your Bench

  My hairdresser told me about her three year old granddaughter who liked to get really close to whoever she was talking to and stare right in their face. She was trying to teach her about ‘personal space’ when they were out in public.… Continue Reading “Share Your Bench”

Use the Good Stuff…

     Sipping iced tea from a wine glass makes it even better… Recently I served tea to my girlfriend and I in wine glasses. She thought it was wonderful. It reminded me of something: my grandmother always ‘put away’ her nice things to… Continue Reading “Use the Good Stuff…”

X Marks the Spot…

   We walked the beach at end of day – the time when light lingers long enough, but night is not too far. Purposing to see everything the shore had to offer. Not to just walk and come back as though it were checked off… Continue Reading “X Marks the Spot…”

Love In The Cement…

Some ordinary days turn extraordinary – especially when you have a dust rag in your hand… My afternoon was humming along, checking off the list: bathroom clean , floors vacuumed , laundry folded , dusting (underway). My hubby was being helpful by getting the… Continue Reading “Love In The Cement…”

Tears & Terror

      Daily the world sheds tears – it cowers in terror. It has been so since the beginning of time. Yet, in this day and in this time, it seems magnified. So much sorrow and pain, so much fear and anxiety. Yet the bunny outside… Continue Reading “Tears & Terror”

GLOVES…& Simpler Times

   The year was 1963. Ladies never left home, to go shopping or anyplace in public, unless properly dressed, children included. Never mind it was the middle of summer in Florida. This five year old had to wear a dress, with a slip underneath,… Continue Reading “GLOVES…& Simpler Times”

Will You Pass This Way Again…

   A tree lined park, a shady path, a stream – things painters illustrate, writers help us imagine, and we often take for granted. Winding our way along such a path my husband noticed the bark of certain trees was peeling off and laying… Continue Reading “Will You Pass This Way Again…”

The Crab In the Pool

  This crab really is ‘pretty’. Definitely a female – she had on a blue mask, red lipstick, her larger claw was polished and white. But she found herself in a pool she didn’t bargain for… At times I’ve found myself in pools like that. When… Continue Reading “The Crab In the Pool”
