Rainy days and Mondays

July 26, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 16 Comments

The pounding rain and thunder woke me before my alarm. Good thing, since the storm had also knocked out the power. That meant a dark and cold shower, and no coffee. Being up early, maybe I would have enough time to stop on the way into the office. A Monday without copious amounts of caffeine … Continue reading Rainy days and Mondays

The shroud of night is laid low A death mask image of the day beneath Eulogies prayed over the dearly departed Funeral dirges mournful and despairing Wailers earn their wages Keening sorrowfully for a time well-lived Never to be emulated Never to be bested The gloaming spreads, darkening, deepening Voices now raised in praise A … Continue reading The gloaming

Catching up

July 16, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 25 Comments

I've been home a whole week since my trip home to Tennessee. Like 'they' say, now I need a vacation from my vacation. There was a lot to catch up on once here, much more work than expected for only seven days away. I collect crucifixes and rosaries. My collection also includes an 1852 edition … Continue reading Catching up
