Mellow Yellow Monday

There is not a lot of Yellow in S.E. Michigan this time of year.  I lifted this photo from the archives.

Granddaughter Rebekka and I made a gingerbread house at her school a couple of years ago.  Ours is second from the left.

MIRAGE

I

You think you see it

But you can't get close.  How can

You reach that far place?

II

Not an illusion -

A stolen peek into an

Other universe.

III

A freak wormhole that

Gives a view to somewhere else.

How can we escape?

IV

What is this image?

A hidden doorway opens.

Who will enter here?

Sun follows snowfall:

Long shadows, cold light on

Six Word Saturday

Keen, wow, tasty - good for you.

We just discovered Quinoa (pronounced keenwah) a South American plant with grain-like seeds.  It has a delicate flavor, with a nut-like overtone that isn't too bland, and it seems pretty versatile.  It's high in both protein and fiber.

Sensational Haiku Wednesday - Elation

ELATION

I

Find the perfect love:

ELATION! Closest thing to

Heaven here on earth.

II

I've been invited

To work on a great project:

Blogging has paid off!

Regarding the project - I might get a few pennies or even a dollar out of it, but "paid off" really has nothing to do with money.


Sorry to be enigmatic, but I'm not prepared to say more than that for the time being.


But this is an exciting opportunity, and I'm definitely ELATED!

Mellow Yellow Monday

Before the big game

It's always important to

Warm up well and stretch.

MEMORY

Thoughts of what once was;

Love lost once, and found again:

Memories of you.

What creature leaves such

Clustered prints - and how?  It must

Be the BUNNY HOP!

Beach at Heist by Georges Lemmen (1865–1916) is in the Public Domain

Sensational Haiku Wednesday - Freestyle

FREESYLE

I

The Theme is no Theme;

The subject is no subject;

What to write about?

II

The Theme: any Theme.

The Subject: any Subject.

Write on Anything.

III

Winter discontent:

Snow, bleak gloom and Icy wind.

I need me some Spring!

IV

Melt away now snow,

Bare the contours of the earth;

Bring forth Daffodils!

Mellow Yellow Valentine's Monday

A Valentine treat:

Lovely to look at, think on,

And better to eat

I got to play this song on Saturday.

I have a terrible head cold.

And I have to play tonight.

Drat! The show must go on.

Valentine's Day dinner and dance party.

Well - at least they're feeding me.

And my date - the Lovely Wife.

Tea Party

Granddaughter Emily invited me as her special guest to the Valentine's tea (which was actually punch and cookies) at her preschool.  We had enormous fun.

What could be sweeter

Than a proper Tea Party

With my Emily!

Mellow Yellow Monday

Yellow is where you

Find it.  Sometimes you can find

It in your kitchen.

Putting things away after a recent lunch, I noticed the opportunity for this yummy yellow tableau.

Shadow Shot Sunday - 2/06 - Sunday Music Blogging

Last week, in comments to my pic, Rinkly Rimes offered this.

I hope we soon see the footprints of good friends coming toward your door!

Watch out, you might get what you're after.

Who comes calling at

My door - could it be my good

Friend - the Big Bad Wolf?
