Deb assigned me two prompts to choose from for April. You may have noticed I skipped those. Mostly, of course, because the second one snagged my attention and I didn’t want to do it. So this month I will again ignore prompt #2 and see what I make of prompt #1. #breadcrumbs #fairytales

This morning, I stood for awhile
at the top of the path,
the measure of time
counted only by the unfurling leaves of wild lettuce

The convergence in dates for the first night of Hanukkah and Christmas Day is rare: While it happened in 2005, before that we'd have to go all the way back to 1959 to see it again. So yes, Celebrate, no matter what your faith is, it's going to be a great day! #Hanukkamas #Christmakkah

New #writercrush A friend recommended Richard Osmon's Thursday Night Murder Club. At the risk of promoting someone who is already getting a lot of press, I would heartily recommend this one. *The press is deserved* Multiple POV. Set in a retirement center in Britain, and loads of fun. #cozymystery
