"My favorite colors are
black, dark black, pitch
black, light black, faded
black and a pinch of . . . "
~Anita Opper

I've always liked black,
worn it quite happily . . .

Having said that, I've
worn naught but black
for 26 years, the years
my guy and I have been
together.

Like me some black, 
make no mistake!

Alas, this last decade
at the cabin, I've been
wearing black T's and
black stretchies. But,
I have a plethora of
black dressies . . .

 . . . sooooo, methinks
I'll dress up here shortly!

03/20/2026 - Spring Equinox

'Tis first day of spring . . .
Feeling grateful I even
made it through winter. 

Methinks we might end
up with winter invading
spring this year.

I recall 3 snows w/less
than 1/2" accumulation
and 2 snows w/4" . . .

Unlike any winter I've
ever experienced.

Still . . .

"Spring is sprung
and grass is riz,
wonder where all
the little birdies is."

"Life begins at the end
of your comfort zone."
~Neale Donald Walsch

Now this is a rather dif
way of looking at life!

Methinks might be time
to dig up the old courage
factor!

And truly, indeed it takes
courage to step out of one's
comfort zone.

I'm all about staying home,
reading, receiving family
and friends. Heaven forbid
I should go on a trip or
take a hike.

Can't help but wonder if
it's a bit of an age thing.

Is just thinking about it
brave enough?!

Invierno? Creo que no!

Estamos a 52 grados F.
Normalmente, estaría
nevando y el tiempo
bajo congelación.

Sin duda alguna, vivimos
en tiempos extraños y
difíciles. Y no parece que
haya respuesta alguna.

Extraño tanto a mi México
querido. Pero entiendo que
también están sufriendo. Al
ver las noticias, veo que hay
dificultades en todo el mundo.

No sé realmente, lo que está
pasando pero siento terror
en mi alma . . .

Creo lo que estoy entiendo
es que el invierno este año
está en la negatividad del
mundo y no necesariamente
en nevadas celestiales.

Casi a diario platico con mi
padre y esto me serena un
poco.

There is naught like
childhood foods when
one is feeling low .  . .

   -tomato soup and
grilled cheese sands
   -mac and cheese
   -pj and dill pickle
sands

Sometimes I know I'm
low and content myself
with one of the above.
Others, I seek out the
food and it makes me
know what's what.

Crazy! I get a kick out
of these kinds of looney! 
Think I'll have ice cream
for breakfast today!

If a train doesn't stop at
your station, then it's not
your train." 
~M. Williamson

Sooooo love me finding
bits and tads of wisdom
wherever I look.

I would have to confess,
the metaphorical much
pleases me.

Another confession . . . I
much enjoy all the wonder
that the Universe brings
each day.

We live in difficult times,
yet any and everywhere
you look there is beauty
and joy.

Not sure whether we 
should simply overlook
the ugly, try to fix it, or
accept that it's part of
life. It is what it is and 
I have no advice to give.

The Ides of March have
passed . . . enjoy the time
you've been given.

03/15/2026, Ides of March

"Beware the Ides of March."
~William Shakespeare
 
As I grew up reading The
Bard, I've always celebrated
the Ides of March. 

Although I appreciate its 
historical significance. I
enjoy and value modern
day reminders . . .

 . . . especially, spring is
on its way! And Saturday
the 21st is only a few days 
away!

Enjoy!

"Ides of March - Historically
marking the assassination of
Julius Caesar in 44 BC, this
date serves as a reminder of
betrayal, political upheaval.

Currently, it is also a key 
day for settling debts and 
recognizing the start of 
spring." Wikipedia

Yesterday was the best
Fri the 13th E V E R !!!

Although the wind was
scary, fam and friends
to visit made the day.

We shared a few, talked
a lot and listened to
guitars and song.

I went to bed a happy
camper . . . and yes, I
intend to enjoy today
as well.

I know we're not to live
in the past, but it's such
a comfortable place to be.

03/13/2026 - Friday the 13th.

Oh my God, I've never,
ever seen wind like this.
80 - 100 miles per hour.

The trash cans blown
out in the street. Limbs
broken out of the trees.
Tables and umbrellas
overturned.

It's so scary watching
this happening. Just
don't know how many
more hours it will last,
nor the price to be paid.

'Tis the eeriest happening 
I've ever witnessed.

Methinks the gods must
be ever so angry . . .

"True wildness is a love
of nature, a delight in
silence, a voice free to
say spontaneous things, 
an exuberant curiosity in
the face of the unknown." 
~Robert Bly

I imagine even the most
staid of us have a secret
longing to be wild. I sure
do!

I remember in school, 
both as a student and as
a teacher, 'twas the wild
ones who got the most
attention and had the
most fun!

My own wild resided 
in my intellect, but now 
we've come full circle . . .

. . . Methinks 'tis aging 
gives us permission to
set ourselves free and
join the wild.

So feel free to copy me . . .
ice cream for breakfast
and champagne in the
middle of the night 
when there is blood on
the moon!

"Brave are the ones
who stand on the edge
of sanity and do not
flinch." ~Lisa M. Lilith,
L.L. Musings

So enjoy this author's
writings. She never
misses the mark!

Seeing today's verse,
I am moved by the
depth within. I don't
feel our world is in a
good place just now.
It's most difficult to
stand firm in these
troubled times.

Methinks 'twould be
a good idea to read
these pearls of wisdom
each morn and vow
to stand tall and face
whatever we're dealt.

"Heaven and Earth
do more than hold us 
between them. They 
expect us to deserve
it." ~NR

Sooooo love me some
quotes found in my
daily reads!

Methinks they should
be memorized, lived,
and followed.

Not sure, but perhaps
it's just living each day
the best that we can, to
the best of our abilities.

(Emphasis on living
rather than existing.)

Happy day, living,
and being . . .

" . . . to be thrilled by 
the stars at night; to be
elated over a bird's nest 
or a wildflower in spring -
these are some of the re-
wards of the simple life."
~John Burroughs

'Tis how I live in my own
little wilderness.

Strange how I have town
and country on one side,
and Mother Earth and 
pines on the other.

I'm a Libra after all so I
shouldn't be surprised.

This early a.m. we awake
to 30 degrees and the snow
has melted to about half.

Seems more like spring than
winter after all . . .
