Weekend Coffee Share 6/11/16

If we were having coffee, I’d give you updates:

  • The sweltering weather finally broke and we are back to much more tolerable temperatures, and even some light rain.
  • My dog Chules is still under the weather, but I’m keeping a wait-and-see attitude as long as he continues to eat and drink water. Maybe it’s just a bug that needs to run its course.
  • My house painting project is done except for some touch up work, but I’m in no hurry to start climbing ladders again. I have moved my painting efforts inside and am preparing baseboards for my living room floor project. (You can read all about that project here.)
  • I’m still whittling away at my wood knot “sculpture,” and I still have no idea as to what I will do with it.
  • My dandelions survived the hot weather quite well, and will be blooming again soon, I am sure.

That about covers it for my update. Did I miss anything?

I could probably come up with something to rant about, but I’ll refrain from doing so today. We can just rest, relax and enjoy our coffee.

I hope you have a great week coming up. Thanks for stopping by.


Thank you to Diana at PartTimeMonsterBlog.com for hosting the #WeekendCoffeeShare.

Pure White

Pure –
1. free from anything of a different, inferior, or contaminating kind;
free from extraneous matter.

Free from difference, inferiority, contamination…

Perhaps, just perhaps,
purity is in the eye
of the beholder.

World Oceans Day 2016

I am reposting my thoughts from last year’s World Oceans Day. Now more than ever, our oceans are in need of protection.

“How inappropriate to call this planet Earth when it is clearly Ocean.”

~ Arthur C. Clarke



Expansive and deep,
beautiful but volatile,
ample force to turn
vessels to splinters.

Teeming with life,
ceaselessly churning,
an indefatigable
dynamo.

ocean4

Kissed by the sun,
caressed by the winds,
extolled by poets
and sailors alike.

ocean1

Sustainer of life
as we know it on Earth,
yet with all its
grandeur and might…

still fragile.
