Isn’t She Lovely?

A twentieth fine August earth day
Occasioned a comical mirth day
…..I played with my sister
…..So happy…I kissed her.
Sweet Maezi – you’re FOUR – Happy Birthday!

Hatch this!

Ok, so one of the fun things about Easter, is that we get to go on a hunt…AND our eggs hatched…
I just love soft fluffy little things when they come out of their shells…

But the really mysterious puzzle has been the alien pod & what it was going to become.  Some mutant moth?  A beastly [...]

Observing the rituals of Mother’s Day

Maezi & I are very mindful of the rituals in our lives…we have things we do every morning – if we don’t do it, it feels like we’re missing something.  But occasionally, we like to mix it up, so yesterday, we let Mom sleep in – until 7:01 am.  & today – till 7:23 am.  [...]

Spring Fling continued – Maezi, guest blogger

My superior tracking abilities & keen powers of deduction gave me the edge I needed to discover Auggie’s trail. 
What to do?  We are NOT allowed down the hill…however, the steps of doom beckoned me.  I had to find my brother.  I tracked the prints down, down, down – what I determined is….

Spring Fling – Maezi, guest blogger

…so…we’re not supposed to head down the hill.  In fact, it is expressly forbidden.  I don’t know what got into Auggie.  Or me, for that matter.  All I know is that it was a glorious day & there were tasty aromas in the air.  The rain had finally ended & there was a scintillating breeze [...]

Who is Rube Goldberg?

And…..what is he doing at my house?  OK, so it’s been raining cats & dogs.  Well, actually, fat, florid, giant, heavy, smattering wet drops.  I haven’t noticed any of the cats, possums, birds, raccoons…anybody, really…  ‘Cuz it’s too darned wet to go outside.  In fact, I refused.  We won’t discuss the ramifications of that, except [...]

There once searched a young dog in green
‘Midst the flowers betwixt and between.
…..Though tales he’d been told,
…..Of a pot full of gold,
He discovered a wild Irish Queen.
A hundred thousand welcomes from your 100% bone-a-fide Irish bard – consorting with druids, in touch with the leprechauns & full of the blarney:
May you get all your wishes [...]

The Molar of the story is…

I was feeling a little woozy, I gotta say.  I didn’t really know how much that darned tooth hurt until I didn’t have it any more.  Plus, the drugs they give you to go home on are pretty good.  So I spent the afternoon drowsing & dreaming.

Two little hearts…

………………………..Long ago when their friendship was new
………………………..Two little dogs hadn’t a clue…
…………………………….But Cupid’s swift darts,
…………………………….Aimed straight for their hearts,
………………………..And now the fast friends are true blue.

Birthdays & other musings

Twenty one years ago today…my brother, Shaanti, was born.  I never knew him, because he was gone before I came to our house.  But, I’m told was lovely snuggly & sweet – The first “together child” in the family.  He liked lounging on chests & inventing his own games.
