A Week with the Tricube, #TankaTuesday It's been a busy week! After twelve years of blogging, I finally met my best friend, Charli Mills! What a gift to finally meet her here in mid-Michigan. On Thursday, we celebrated our 41st wedding anniversary. Then, Saturday was my birthday. It's been a full week. Willow was our host this week for #TankaTuesday. She introduced us to the tricube, a form with three lines, and three syllables each line.

So; we sent US soldiers to fight a useless war, and now we can’t feed them? Do I have that right?

A beautiful French rose Madame Paul Massad 1991 with blooms of rusty orange-red with a smoky chocolate or purple tint. Large fragrant blooms that change in color. The soft yellow and apricot tones give way to delicate pink tones. Mild, sweet fragrance. Repeat blooms throughout the growing season. Bred in 1991. By A. Cajkowska

MAGA Is Increasingly Convinced the Trump Assassination Attempt Was Staged Conspiracy theories about the Butler, Pennsylvania, shooting have ramped up in recent weeks as once steadfast Trump supporters turn on the president.

I'm not a conspiracy guy - at all.

But, having served in the military and working with weapons, I've yet to hear an explanation for how Bone Spurs was hit in the ear with a high-velocity rifle round and ended up with nary a scratch or a scar.

It doesn't happen.

🌑 ♈️ There is a New Moon in Aries today at 7:52 AM EDT.

He’s lost his damn mind.

Also, if he thinks Iran will “never close the Strait again” he’s delusional.

He’s acting like the war is over because it’s back to status quo…ish.

Still haven’t solved uranium or missiles. All we’ve done is get the Strait re-opened.

The sun descends in a velvet haze,
Painting the clouds in a violet blaze.
Soft pink whispers meet the deep blue,
As daylight fades and the night breaks through.

May kindness glow within the evening light,
And grant you all a calm and lovely night.

Family Love, Onomatopoeia Hello! Robbie was the host of Last week's challenge. She asked us to use Onomatopoeia in our poem. I took last week off from writing and blogging as our oldest daughter and her husband from Utah came for a visit. We had a great time. I can't remember laughing so much! I cried when they arrived, and I cried when they left.

Passing With Dignity

may my passing
be like a whisper even silent
spare me the drama
crack creak croak carillons
not my choice to close the curtains

Republicans screaming about removal of Swalwell while not calling for the removal of Tony Gonzales is soooooo republican.

Let Democrats show you how it’s done:

They both need to go.
