snail’s lunch
A day in the life of Sadie Snail – 12 pm:
Sadie worked up a monster of an appetite from cleaning.
She keeps eating … and eating … and eating …
and hopes her personal trainer isn’t watching.
snail housework
A day in the life of Sadie Snail – 11 am:
After Sadie spent hours sweeping out her house,
she looks in disgust at the pile of dust bunnies
and wishes a good wind would come along
and blow them all to kingdom come.
snail’s succulents
A day in the life of Sadie Snail – 8 am:
Before tackling her to do list,
Sadie checks on her succulents
and is quite pleased to see that
no weeds have sprung up overnight.
snail’s breakfast
A day in the life of Sadie Snail – 7 am:
Sadie greets the new day
while munching on her breakfast lettuce.
She hopes she can find a few coffee grounds
in the compost to jump start her morning.
rainier cherries
Life is just a bowl of cherries,
don’t take it serious, it’s mysterious.
Life is just a bowl of cherries,
so live and laugh and laugh at love,
love a laugh, laugh and love.

Live in the Sunshine,
swim the sea,
drink the wild air!

ready for takeoff
I’m very proud to announce that I have a graduate in the house!
(My second son has polished off his secondary school education.)
This one’s for all you graduates out there – of all ages and stages:
Brush off your wings and get ready for takeoff!

Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued,
is always just beyond your grasp,
but which, if you will sit down quietly,
may alight upon you.
~ Nathaniel Hawthorne
Norfolk pines at dusk
on so lovely a night it is a shame to sit in the house;
and surely no one can wish to go to bed
while sunset is thus at meeting with moonrise.
~ Charlotte Bronte, “Jane Eyre”
