Today’s thought is a reflection on a familiar and loved image and saying. This tiny little kitty looks at her reflection and sees a mighty tiger. When I was a little girl, I was a shy timid little thing scared of people, hiding behind my mom’s skirts. I didn’t play much. My favorite pastime was…

21 days of remembrance
As we begun May, I thought I would do 21 days of remembrance for mom because somehow, somehow, someway, I, we, our family is making it to five years since mom moved from this realm to the next one. Such pretty words, aren’t they? Moved from this realm to the next, passed on, transitioned on…
Finally got around to starting the garden
It was not my fault though. It was the iffy Midwest weather and the seemingly insurmountable amount of yardwork. Around this time of year, I am usually a few steps ahead and have started planting and made mucho progress on the yard and flower beds. Heck sometimes, the gardens are even mulched and look pleasing…
Dates etched in ink

THE Stable Geniuses
It’s amazing all these “very stable geniuses” running around making companies, states and countries great again. But somehow that greatness is like invisible or opaque or something??🤔 or maybe it’s just akin to [hurtling] towards hell in the proverbial hand basket. It’s quite a sight to witness. Like a train wreck we can’t turn our…

This guy is part of the team that is working on the migration of our division’s infrastructure, software, applications and platforms after we…

With my eye I spy
Looking forward to seeing what this critter will do. It is currently on one of my flower plants and basically has almost eaten it all. A more experienced gardener told me it was a Hummingbird something. So of course I had to do some further research. And yes, I do know that curiosity killed the…
The Dead Tree
Funny the things you’ll notice all of a sudden sometimes. Things you’d swear were never there. But they were, had been. Perhaps for a long time even. Like this dead tree I chanced upon today Despite coming here 2-3 times a week walking right by it, maybe just a mere 200 or 300 feet away…
The Wee Hours
It’s been a while since I’ve been up in the wee hours of the morning. And by a while, I mean maybe 3 or 4 weeks. That’s a miracle to me. Insomnia has been a constant companion of mine for many many years. Many years. And it’s only after a good night’s sleep or several…
