Judy Dykstra-Brown Challenge: All Lined Up All Lined Up
We have been visiting our Aunt in rehab the past 3 Sundays. After spending 3 weeks traveling all over Israel, climbing mountains and walking the streets, she came home and tripped and fell in her granddaughter’s living room and broke her hip. Thankfully she is strong and is healing well, and is determined to go […]
Pull Up A Seat
Is it better to suspect something (bad or hurtful) and not know or to have your worst fears confirmed by sure knowledge? It depends what it is, but I think suspect. You can always put it out of your head if you just suspect something, or figure it is the work of rumor mongers. Once […]
Ocean Grove, NJ on a foggy, winter’s night Night
This is my all time favorite. Painted by Jeffrey Fulvimari for the Wooden Walls project in Asbury Park NJ. “Ode to the Ocean”- 13 ladies held together by waves, exactly how the women of today should be. Free to use their voice. Here is a link to a video about the artist. Street Art
Warmth
Today’s prompt word is Finish. What immediately came to mind is a Finish Line. As in a 5K I am attempting to run next Sunday, in which I hope to reach the Finish line. I started running 2 years ago when I wanted to lose some weight and lower some of the numbers in my […]
QUESTIONS: Do you believe in soul mates? If so, do you think there is only one person meant to share that bond with you, out there in the world? There is something about the term “soul mates” that has always bothered me. Do I believe some people have a connection and bond with one another […]
Nurturing Thursday
Connections…. so many connections in my life… so many people I have connected with throughout the years. Childhood friends that remain friends to this day. An elementary school friend I had not seen in 50 years who I connected with when he came to visit his old home town, where I still live. The friend […]
Chairs like these are situated all over the grounds of Wave Hill, the beautiful gardens I love to visit located in Riverdale, NY. Many are situated high up the hill on the property with sweeping views of the Hudson River. A perfect place to pull up a seat. PULL UP A SEAT
This past week my husband and I visited the New Jersey Shore-my favorite get away. The shore towns all run one into another as you walk along the boardwalk. We started at Bradley Beach and walked north, through Ocean Grove, into Asbury Park. Round trip it was almost 4 miles. It seemed like nothing though, […]
This Week’s Questions: What was the last thing you read digital or print? I read an excerpt from “Everything in Its Place,” a posthumous collection of writings by Dr. Oliver Sacks. It is titled “The Healing Power of Gardens” here is the link if you are interested in reading it. It confirmed my feelings about […]
I visited Florence in 1983, and made a stop at the Synagogue there. In 1868 David Levi, President of the Hebrew University, bequeathed his possessions for the building of a new synagogue in Florence, Italy, ‘worthy of the city’. He provided for the acquisition of a site between the new development of the Mattonaia and […]
In this Word Prompt challenge Susan and her partner ask the question: Do you prefer leaving your home country and venturing out into the world or have you ever considered sitting comfortably behind the steering wheel of your automobile and exploring the scenes, sights and sounds in your own backyard? That’s an easy one for […]
A very inviting seat in a bookstore in New Paltz, New York Pull Up A Seat
I attended a wedding last week. The bride was someone I had worked with at my old school, but I also knew her from the time she was a child because she was a good friend of my step daughter. Her wedding was long in coming, she is 40 years old. My step daughter and […]
A bench along the trail. A quiet place to sit overlooking the trees. Pull Up A Seat
Becky says: Your squares can have jagged rooves, pointy beaks, bristly seats, serrated edges, prickly nests, spiny trees, or even barbed relationships. Let your imagination go spiky, but don’t forget to stay square! Mr. Nuthatch with his spiky beak makes it easy to grab the seed he wants!
This bench faces my favorite pond. It is at the far end, reached after walking halfway around. I walked there on Friday, and found it still covered with Monday’s snow, so no sitting this week. Spring is coming and I look forward to sitting there once again. The view in spring… Pull Up A Seat
I attended an interesting lecture about owls, that offered the opportunity to dissect an owl pellet. Owls swallow their prey whole or in large pieces, but they cannot digest fur, teeth, bones, or feathers. The things that cannot be digested are compacted into a pellet which the owl regurgitates. The pellet-ready for dissection The inside […]
It was snowing something fierce Friday morning, leaving a little more than an inch on the ground and streets. I made sure to put out bird seed for my feathered friends. I looked out about 5 minutes later and saw the Grackles had descended. It was quite something to see just how many had arrived. […]
I spotted this bench at a Nature Preserve, situated outside the exit doors. It wasn’t until I came closer to it that I realized on the right side (facing me)was the profile of woman’s head carved into the wood and a cat. The left side must also have had one but it had broken off. On […]
With Every Good Wish asks the question, Would you rather donate your body to science or donate your organs to people who need them? This prompt popped up in my reader at exactly the time I had been thinking about organ donation. I had just found out that a friend from childhood who had had […]
