Wordy Wednesday

While everyone else is wordless today posting pictures and other artwork I am wordy as usual. There is not a flow just ramblings of whatever comes to mind as I allow myself to work through what is running through my head.

I have been gaining weight lately and it does not look like it will stop anytime soon. I have a sudden desire for sodas and creamer in my coffee. I had given up creamer but my sweet tooth does not indulge in cakes, cookies and other such things often as a result of keeping them out of the house. They are something that children over indulge in from time to time and I have done so on more than one occasion.

We prefer homemade sweets so that is typically what we do when we have the time and ingredients. I have two tomato plants for salad tomatoes, a bell pepper plant, and a hot pepper plant. One of my tomato plants is covered in tiny tomato just waiting to turn red so I can have them in salads.

The porch is rather small but my basil is doing well, it is growing faster than I can use it but I will not complain about that. The baby is aiding with the care of the plants which means she is learning a little something about being self sufficient. 

This wordy Wednesday is coming to a close because my mind has wandering father than the time I have to catch up with all the thoughts running through my head.

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.

Flash in the Pan Playing Along Still

The pages were bent and ragged from years of use, covers worn out from hands rubbing over them. There were bowls everywhere, the oven was still hot. She tasted it again, something wasn’t right. It was sweet, tangy but not right. What was missing? She scanned the room again to see. Onions maybe? No, but what could it be? She hit her head on the cabinet. A pepper that was it!
