Life is change. ~Heraclitus of Ephesus, Greek philosopher
Just a random photo of my Roma tomato plant because I’m blown away at the size of the fruit this year!
I’m back!!
My son Domer was home last week (the first time we’ve gotten together since Christmas!)

Stella D’Oro Daylillies
Even nature takes a little break.
She pauses between each season
To catch her breath, so to speak.
Within a season too,
Flowers bloom and rest.
All of us need
Some time off.
Don’t you
Think?
Note: As you probably guessed, it’s time for me to take a wee pause. Happy Fathers’ Day to all the dads reading this, and I’ll be back shortly. By the way, this poetry form is a Nonet, nine lines with a decreasing number of syllables in each line.
The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up. ~Mark Twain, American writer
I think one of the worst things about this pandemic is its silence.
I talk to him when I’m lonesome like;
and I’m sure he understands.
When he looks at me so attentively,
and gently licks my hands;
then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes,
but I never say naught thereat.
For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes,
but never a friend like that. ~W. Dayton Wedgefarth
For the first time in 13 years, I’m dog-less, and that’s a lonely feeling.
When a man points a finger at someone else, he should remember that four of his fingers are pointing at himself. ~Louis Nizer, Jewish-American trial lawyer
Despite my love for debate, I don’t enjoy confrontations.
You know, the kind where you have to read somebody the riot act to get them to stop scraping their shoes all over your feelings.
Take the other day, for instance.
