Friday morning, the hurricane-formerly-known-as-Earl had wimped its way out of North Carolina — without leaving us so much as a drop of rain or a gust of wind. But at least the surf was up at the end of the island and I got to watch a little wave action. [Double click on any of [Continue reading] Fellow blogger Parrot Writes set out this flash fiction challenge for last week: We are traveling 60 mph on the interstate going home from our Ashland stay. Suddenly we see brakelights four or five cars ahead of us and watch a minivan swerve off to the shoulder of the highway and slide to an immediate [Continue reading] Here’s my Sunday world, in about 25 miles and five hours. The yoga babes connect and head for the 10:15 ferry, which is currently at the “yellow” threat level, according to TSA. Given how peaceful it is here on the water, I’m inclined to think that refers to the yellow-green pollen, which is coating [Continue reading] I just realized this is National Poetry Month.

Sorta [Continue reading] The whole trailer shook when JimBob slammed the door on his way out. “Berneice, that man gonna explode from mad one of these days. And with his heart — Uh uh.” Berneice kept stirring the gravy; JimBob didn’t like it lumpy. “Well, Lord’ll decide that one. I just try and help Him along as best [Continue reading] I finished yesterday’s post, published it and looked at it again — something felt Not. Quite. Right. I did a little research, and sure enough, cardinals eat nuts and seeds, NOT bugs. Shoulda known that from my bird feeder. So I edited Ms. C’s invitation from “Let’s go eat some BUGS” to “Let’s go eat [Continue reading] You know from an earlier post that we had snow last week-end. Saturday night we went with friends to a new place in town to listen to some live music, eat, and have a couple of beers.
