So, I went shopping several times for maternity clothes in the past 2 months. I dislike shopping. Most times I came home empty-handed. This is why retail is in such a crisis - there is nothing to buy from

The moon was so pretty when we were out walking a few mornings ago, I took some photos from along our walk. Photos by me. I re-size each of them to make the file a little smaller, so I hope that does not

The winter season is a time when many charities ask for donations. Some ask for money. Others arrange opportunities for the community to anonymously adopt a family and provide some clothing and toys for

Well, Steemit, this is not something I expected to happen. It is possible I am pregnant. The home pregnancy test indicated "Pregnant." I've thought about having children for about 15 years, but

The snails are sleeping for the winter now. Here are a few older pics to tide you over til spring. :) Yes, this is a snail on my dog. She must have been clinging to a tree or plant that my dog brushed

I went looking for a poem in the library. Browsing the shelves lends me a contemplative quality of mind. I picked up some books by poets I knew and flipped through. I don't like writing poetry myself -

A few years ago I went to a music performance and there was a kind of stand up comic there who gave advice as part of his routine. One person in the audience described feeling frazzled as she was moving,

The dog and I were out early in the morning for his walk and the moon looked really great. It's amazing how the human eye can see such things more clearly. It does not look quite as brilliant in these

For posterity, I am storing in the blockchain photos of tomatoes on the vine in October in the Midwest continental U.S. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like it used to be colder in October. In all fairness,

"Change your thoughts and you change your world." Norman Vincent Peale A few years ago, I did one of those online personality tests. I don’t remember which one. I do remember the results came

As the dog and I walk in the morning, there is much opportunity to inspect the ground closely. I get to ask myself questions like: What is the dog smelling now? Is he trying to eat it? One of my favorite

How often do you walk around with something in your hands? At work this morning I took some files to be put away. After I dropped them off, I realized I didn't have anything to bring back with me. No files.

Funny - I consider myself such a positive person and here I am posting about mortality. Guess the changing of the seasons, summer turning to fall, reminds me that "This, too, shall pass." I found

Every morning the dog and I go for a walk. Near our house is a cemetery, so we sometimes wander through. One of the headstones there had a poem on it that caught my eye. "He is blest who does his

Hello, and welcome. Thank you for visiting. I've been thinking about blogging for a while and thought I would join a community. According to some, communication does not occur unless there is both a speaker

I didn't realize the snail was so visible until I looked at the photos later. You can see the antennae.

I found a tiny snail on a walking path and decided to take a photo of her for posterity. I added my hand for scale.

I took this picture while enjoying a walk with my dog.
