Quarantine Basic Needs

Posted on April 24, 2020April 24, 2020 by Barbara

Shelter The three basic needs are shelter, clothing, and food. During our present state of quarantine, I certainly have the shelter part taken care of and have become more acquainted with my home. I strolled through the living room the other day; I haven’t visited there since Christmas 2019. House cleaning is not my strong…

Hummingbirds & Quincy the Quail

Posted on April 17, 2020April 18, 2020 by Barbara

HUMMINGBIRDS I was sitting outside in my wicker rocking chair listening to the birds singing, and noticed a hummingbird flying back and forth over the top of the lawn. I wondered what she was doing. My daughter suggested that perhaps she was looking for nest building material. Quite possible. I was fascinated watching this video…

Gambel’s Quail and Other Bird Calls

Posted on March 26, 2020March 26, 2020 by Barbara

If you’re reading this on your phone, I would suggest you switch to a computer or tablet so you can listen to the bird calls using a QR Code Reader App on your phone. Every morning I wake up to bird songs filling the air announcing the day, but more importantly right now, Springtime. When…

The Christmas Tree

Posted on December 6, 2016February 28, 2017 by Barbara

I stand in the center of a grove, surrounded by towering beauty. I look around me, admiring the perfect arms of the ones closest to me. I envy the symmetrical way their boughs stretch out at the bottom and gracefully taper to a point at the top. I am shorter than the rest and am…

“Love Lost and Found” – a Short Story

Posted on September 5, 2016February 26, 2017 by Barbara

  Maggie sits on a blue and green beach towel spread over the grainy sand. The lake glistens like a turquoise gem as water and beach worshipers enjoy the warm weather. The small Minnesota resort town of 6,000 swells to almost 9,000 in the summer with vacationing sunbirds, roaming teenagers, and drunken college students. Summertime…

Expiration Dates

Posted on July 14, 2016July 14, 2016 by Barbara

Hubby bought a 38-ounce bottle of ketchup two summers ago when I wasn’t around to supervise. The stamped expiration date is April 28, 2016, but it hasn’t turned blue, and it smells okay, so I’m not going to waste it by throwing it away. The last time we bought a gigantic bottle of ketchup was…
