Walking shoes

Many miles to go Adventures rescheduled, seems I've mislaid my shoes

A lunch of Nutella and iced Nescafé

May 9, 2013January 17, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 14 Comments

Her life was boringly predictable, settled into a routine so mundane she knew, down to the minute, how it would play out. At 4:30 a.m. her mini Lab wakes her. Standing at the edge of her bed, nudging her with a wet nose and amorous dog kisses, licking her arm until she gets up. Padding … Continue reading A lunch of Nutella and iced Nescafé

The content of their character

May 8, 2013January 8, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 14 Comments

While my fam was in Greensboro, NC for our daughter's graduation, we visited the  F.W.

SNAKE WARNING! Paradise downfall Temptation woman's ruin Serpent fears linger I'm beginning to believe that I am a snake magnet. Seems I can't take a simple hike, or rake leaves without uncovering a slithering reptile. I'm not afraid of snakes. I find them fascinating, and have a keen respect for them. Doesn't keep me from … Continue reading Hi, pretty lady…

Raining petals

April 30, 2013January 5, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 17 Comments

Beautiful flowers Red, my favorite Daisy petals too tempting Not to pluck A fortune to tell, A future to ponder Each crimson blade Aimed at my soul Cupid’s true arrow Or love’s cruel dagger One by one, bringing Hope or despair Joy or misery Ecstasy or pain The outcome a mystery Once begun Cannot be … Continue reading Raining petals
