CONTINUING OUR GRAND EXPERIMENT – Marilyn Armstrong

FOWC with Fandango — Continue Continue? In many ways, the nightmare we are currently experiencing is a continuation of what went before. None of this came out of "nowhere." We've had bad presidents and even some of our good presidents were not all that great. We have plundered the earth and made money the beginning … Continue reading CONTINUING OUR GRAND EXPERIMENT – Marilyn Armstrong

ALLOWED AND FORBIDDEN – Marilyn Armstrong

Are we still free? As our "freedom" seems to be becoming increasingly less free with each passing day, I have to wonder about a lot of things I always accepted as true. Or close to true. I never believed Americans were quite as "free" as we said we were, but we were freer than most … Continue reading ALLOWED AND FORBIDDEN – Marilyn Armstrong

WILD GARDEN IN BLOOM – Marilyn Armstrong

Our wild garden is blooming! It's crazy growth time in the valley. Slow getting started, everything is over the top and I think we are going to have a massive display of roses and lilies this year. A week ago, there wasn't a single bud on any of the rosebushes. By Friday, it was covered … Continue reading WILD GARDEN IN BLOOM – Marilyn Armstrong

JUNE IS SQUARE: THE FINAL ROOF #30 – Marilyn Armstrong

It’s that time of year again and squares are back!   I can't believe it. It's been a whole month of rooves and roofs. On barns and teepees. On boats and tall buildings.

A MILESTONE OF DESPAIR – Marilyn Armstrong

RDP #29: A MILESTONE OF DESPAIR Fandango - Nightmare It's the one month anniversary of having WordPress abandon us for whatever future they think they see on their far horizons. I'm sure, whatever their milestone may be, it involves hitting all of us for more money. Because as far as I can tell, it's always about … Continue reading A MILESTONE OF DESPAIR – Marilyn Armstrong

BACK TO THE GARDEN – COLUMBINE by Marilyn Armstrong

I thought the Columbine was finished for the season, but they seem to have come back again. Everything seems to be going around twice. Crazy weather, crazy garden. Crazy world! So today, let's take another look at the Columbine again. Because I love the color. FLOWER OF THE DAY

UNHINGED – Marilyn Armstrong

FOWC with Fandango — Captured My marriage is fine. My house is not falling apart. The car was repaired and runs well. Yet I feel quite unhinged. A prisoner of war in my own country. Or that's how I feel. The World is killing me. I live in a country where the courts think it's … Continue reading UNHINGED – Marilyn Armstrong

THE BANE OF HOUSEHOLD CHORES – BY ELLIN CURLEY

As I get older, I’m having a harder time accepting repetition as a big part of my life. I don’t mean cosmically or philosophically. I mean plain old boring repetition of everyday tasks like doing the laundry, washing the dishes, making the beds and cleaning the bathroom. It always feels like ‘I just did that’ … Continue reading THE BANE OF HOUSEHOLD CHORES – BY ELLIN CURLEY
