A Mother's Heart

 
In nature and humanity there are all styles of mothering.
There are humans and animals, male and female, who've never given birth
but have a mother's heart and demonstrate that daily.
To mothers and to all those with a mother's heart, 
Thank you
and
Happy Mother's Day.

Broken Fence

Grateful I was not working in this spot when the limb fell.  It did stick into the ground so it would have damaged a human.  We were lucky it only damaged the fence.  It also knocked my horseshoes off!  Repaired again (not pictured) with the grass trimmed...just like new/old.
See some fantastic fences at

Playing At Linda Kay's



Fernando landed in a garden he'd never seen before.  He sat very still while he checked the place out for any danger.

Considering it to be a safe place to wander Fernando began to explore.  There were radishes, onions, cabbage and other green things he wasn't familiar with but he continued.

Busy with his proboscis, tasting all available to him, Fernando missed the approaching danger.  A human had entered the garden that obviously was theirs to pick some fresh salad for dinner.

Being a little upset that the fly was vomiting on her lettuce the gardener took one swipe.  A very good solid and, for Fernando, a deadly swipe.
...and the strains of Abba could be heard throughout the garden as the fellow green bottle flies mourned Fernando's passing...

They were closer now Fernando
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid Fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry
Your assignment is to write a story about a picture.

X, Y, and Z

Letters degrade into literary Xerosis  
Skies fade to Yellow
As I finish
Not with a Zing
but with a dull thud.
BaZinga!!
