The creature had a fruity #smell with that #miniscule whisp of ozone that all space junk had. The universal translator kicked in attempting to communicate. This creature was #clever though and simply put their thoughts into my head. I tossed the tube out the airlock.
My client and I share a weird crush for golfer Tommy Fleetwood ... lol. She's 76. I'm 59. We're both way out of our age limits.

2 days ago my dog caught my big toe with her back claws and ripped out a chunk. It hurt like mad, then the adrenaline kicked in.

Today, wearing shoes and socks is quite painful...but I have no choice. Every time I move my foot... 😒

Rearranging flowers though...so that helps! 🌹

We rounded up space #junk every Friday morning, sorted the recyclables, and classed the rest into usable and rubbish. I reached for a bit of tubing which was valuable stuff and a head popped out. Perfectly round with three eyes mashed into one, it inflated like a balloon.

We're going out to eat, so I showered in the middle of the day...

As someone with sensory issues, I don't recommend this practice. I itch all over and had to put on my bra and socks again. AND I'll have to brush my hair... 😩😳

To you normal folks - bathe away!

If anyone had told me when i was a kid that one day I would scroll my phone when I couldn't sleep and, all in one place, see the sky over Iceland, learn a new word in Cherokee, read an original story, and find out what Luke Skywalker thinks about our government, I would've wet the bed.

I watched the neighbors last night. Nothing better to do so I sat on the deck, binoculars in han nd. #several blokes arrived neat and tidy, but left clothes mussed and hair #fluffy perhaps a #kiss too far. 😘

Okay, Grandma, that's enough Winter Olympics for you! 😆

He thrived in the dark, in the lacuna of forgotten crevices. Others forgot he existed until they felt an odd shiver or caught a wafting mist from the corner of their eyes. They would swear and pull their coats tighter, but there was no escape until he wanted it.

Lacuna,Lacuna.Lacuna,
I’ve only just learned your name
You’ve filled a hole in my vocabulary
What an ironical start to the day

Literature

In a labyrinth where words dance and play,
Luminous #lacuna twinkle away.
In whispers they sigh,
In gaps that we try,
To catch fleeting meanings that stray.

After the dark
Creatures of the forest
Settle in their lairs
And the fae
Secure their own
Just before the gloaming
When silence
Bears witness
To every breath
The earth exhales
And the fog drips like dew
A sliver of a #lacuna
Opens
To take
Another breath

" #Raindrops on mittens
And sweet little kittens..."

"What are you on about?"

"Singing that song. You know, from the movie with the singing nanny."

"You mean Sound of Music?"

"Yeah. Thought it was appropriate for a walk in the rain."

"How about 'Singing in the Rain'?"

“Why do wizards use staffs?”

“Or wands,” the mage chuckles. “Or witches and their broomsticks.”

“Exactly. Why?”

“Magic is symbolism, friend, and artifacts are transient symbols at best. In comparison, a simple piece of wood is rooted in the power of nature.”

Woke up thinking of Misselthwaite Manor from The Secret Garden this morning... what a weird thing.

The point
Of a #tall tale
Is never to deceive
We lie with #purpose
To capture
The imagination
And hold it captive
To entertain
Suspend reality
In a sling
Borrowing only enough bits
To make it believable
For an audience
Like you

In the forest
We don't run
From the #dark
It will only be a bear
Or a moose
Coming out of hiding
A creature
Looking for something to eat
Going on their way

In the forest
We hide from the light
Low slung
Pulsing
With a heart beat louder
Than a scream
We only run
From the light

The main road we live off of... on a snowy day. It's over 4 miles to the nearest neighbor down this road. The privilege and fear of living remote.

View off my deck... more snow...
