Dreaming

Through The Looking Glass

Slippers into The Dome

Wishing they were ruby

(There's no place like home)

If I had The Ruby Ring

I'd twist my wish into play

Back through the wardrobe

To visit Narnia today

"Between the Dawn of Faerie

And the Dominion of Men"

I keep a watch for Moby Dick

And my Regulator "friends"

In my dreams I control

The direction and the start

In my dreams the tin man

Always had a heart

Aslan rules in Mordar

Along with Gandalf The Gray

My lion is filled with courage

And the bad guys stay away

Ole Yeller never dies

Lassie always saves the day

On my Prince Edward Island

Matthew lives today

Blanket Moss growing in water.  Staying Weird for Imaginary Garden With Real Toads  and letting Josie know at Two Shoes In Texas that there is order in my chaos.

Gratefulness and Two Shoes in Texas...

Six Sentences with Two Shoes

During this unusual winter I am grateful for many things I had taken for granted.

I am grateful for indoor plumbing, power, fuel and food and am also grateful that I know how to make do. I am grateful for friends and family.

I mention indoor plumbing twice because I remember the out houses, hauling water, breaking ice and freezing my buns while the wind made the wall paper move.  Nothing colder than an outhouse on a winter's day with your behind bare.

Wishing you warmth and blue skies...and indoor plumbing!

Six Sentence Story for Two Shoes

She told no one she was walking the same path she had traveled with her father while he talked of cave safety and the history of it.  Today she walked alone returning to the massive flat mouthed cave that used to shelter Native Americans.

Reaching the entrance she remembered to look at the ceiling to see if there were fresh rock falls and used her light sparingly even though she had another.  During her previous visit she had spotted the entrance of another room but her father pointed out some fallen rock and said it was not safe to go further.

Reaching the opening in the back she crawled deeper as her flashlight illuminated drawings on the wall possibly not seen for hundreds or thousands of years.  Admiring the art and traveling farther than she had gone before the cave rumbled dropping rocks behind her and she knew she was never going home.

Two Shoes In Texas...Six Sentences

I can't imagine the fear that possessed this little dog when she was removed from her owner's home where she had always lived.  Almost one hundred dogs were rescued because the owner's health was not good. The dogs had been well cared for and loved.

Lizzy is a quiet dog and very easy to love.  She had accepted all of us and as tiny as she is, Lizzy thinks she's a farm dog and coaches on the side line.

Being a Jack Parsons Russel/Cairn Terrier mix Lizzy is no longer scared and has proven to be a loving companion, a watchful dog and just a tad spoiled.

In the beginning
A calf frolicked
And made us laugh.
Training her to milk
We didn't turn back.
Life continued
No milk came
while wondering
what was to blame.
We thought
and thought some more.
We needed something
for milk to pour.
In comes the bull
He moos lovingly
Nine months later
There were three.

White Lies or Omission? Not For The Weak!

We all share parts of our life but no one shares it all.  Is that presenting a false front or just an omission of facts that different people would not understand.  Do we consider these little white lies?

Life in different in the country.  Things that happen may be frowned upon but that's the way it is around here. We protect our livestock (cattle and chickens) which is our food source and our money.

We don't get many drive by shootings but we do protect and make it safer for our animals and us.

Two Shoes In Texas Tuesday #37 Broken words

Dancing wildly to drums
Flower haired girls
Feigned promise

Pit fires glowed
The circle tightened
Spear shafts joined the rhythm

Feasting on broken words
Long Pig's hope
Drifted away with the smoke

Easy Wind For Two Shoes in Texas

The leaf floated
Into my sight
Landing easyily
On my shovel

In awe of the colors
The size
The wind's delivery
I stopped

Simply to enjoy
Nature's art
To wonder and wish
I could paint that beautifully

Believing Green Will Return...

The brush pile grows 

On the west side

Lilacs are uncovered

Snowballs no longer hide

Paths are opened

Plants are thinned

We're needing rain 

To make green again

The raised bed holds three glads

Beneath the soil

The spring bulbs 

Are doing rehab.

Cone flowers feed the fly-bys

The rocks shade the skinks

Dry stacked rocks odd wood just lie

Space always grows, never shrinks.
