Pi?

Pumpkin Pie, pi, George Takei

The prompt: Pumpkin or apple pie at Thanksgiving (or choose any fall holiday)? Do you have a family recipe? This reminds me of a story … early in our relationship, Ledcat was discussing her mother’s plans for Thanksgiving to which I and my parents were invited. I asked about the menu and she ran through it, […]

Jump!

The Prompt:  Which is better to jump in: a leaf pile or a puddle? I’m not in the mood to answer this or even consider the distinction. Last night, I jumped up on a park bench with a megaphone and spoke to a crowd of 100 or so LGBTQ folks and allies who had turned […]

Wordless Wednesday: Autumn In An Image

   

NaBloPoMo: The Sounds Of Leaves

The Prompt: Which sound is more satisfying for you: crunching leaves underfoot or bubble wrap popping? First, let me specify that neither of these sounds can be separated from the physical sensation of popping bubbles and/or crunching leaves underfoot. It is more than an auditory experience for sure. Leaves. My childhood neighborhood was filled with trees […]

NaBloPoMo: Apples

The prompt: If you were an apple, which type of apple (Granny Smith, Gala, Red Delicious, etc) would you be and why? If I were going to stay on topic, I would have to look up all of the varieties to see which adjectives line up with my personality. And I don’t really want to do […]

NaBloPoMo: Sometimes You Fall and Don’t Want to Get Back Up

I just read yet another inspirational meme on Facebook … something about strength means never giving up. Bleeaahhh to that or pretty much any “never” talk. Sometimes when I’ve fallen, I do give up. It took me months to learn to ride a bike because falling *hurt* and I didn’t want to hurt. I gave […]

NaBloPoMo: Costume Redux

Hallloween costumes

The Prompt: Tell us about your favourite Halloween costume from childhood. I can only remember 3. When I was just in school, my parents bought me a store made Super Girl costume. The type in a cardboard box with a pieve of cellophane through which you could see the mask. It was blond, sculpted perfection to […]

NaBloPoMo: Costumes

The prompt: Will you dress up for Halloween? What will you be? Actually, I don’t have much to say about that question so I’m going to go rogue. To be fair, no I won’t wear a costume. I’ll wear my annual Halloween orange shirt when I hand out the candy. Woo hoo! I bought this shirt […]

NaBloPoMo: Autumnal Flavour? Turner’s Orange Drink Of Course

The prompt:  What is your favourite autumnal flavour? OK, so this makes me giggle. There are so many to choose from such as pumpkin, pumpkin spice, pumpkin pie, pumpkin latte, pumpkin pie Blizzards, pumpkin roll, pumpkin seeds- not so much – and then every type of candy bar known to mankind but wrapped in a […]
