Title : 💖An Untold Love story💖

An entangled sentiment

When I close my eyes

I feel your warmth touch full of predilection

When the night can be seen in the quiet reflection

I admire his beaming face

I wonder what magic he makes

Won’t let me resist by any means

Such a heavenly emotion I sense in my dreams

I can always feel from your expressions

Your pure heart and all your affection

Your tender and care means the world

And I don’t need anything anymore

You have taught me to love life

You have shown me how to live

When you hold my hand I feel

As if It’s just you and me

I remember the way he smiled

The sparkles appeared in his eyes

His red cheeks and his hair

Reminded me of the times we shared

The love for each other was true

Together we would…

Oatmeal Raisin Pecan Cookies

Smitha's Bake Love

Blend of Whole Wheat, Cinnamon, Oatmeal and pecans

Yummy Cookie in each hand is the ultimate Balanced Diet !!!! That’s the old say. I say, Make it healthy too. That should be the new one!!

With Fall & Winter months in the nearest future, we are already craving warm winter foods. Oatmeal raisin cookies are one such winter delicacy for me. Warm oatmeal for breakfast is family favorite but the cookies lets us enjoy the oat and raisin flavors anytime of the day.

These Oatmeal cookies have the health facts of whole wheat flour, Oats, Raisins, Cinnamon and Pecans. It all starts with sieving dry ingredients and then adding them to wet ingredients. This cookie is made butter for the health fats but you can easily replace it with Avocado oil to get that creamy buttery taste.

Below is the recipe to use for this fun.

The title of this post is “Moving On” and this post would have 3 parts which I would post daily. As usual, no information on this blog will reveal any personal detail about anyone. Your Problems Are Safe With Me…

Watch “Top Gold Producing Countries per year | Flags and Countries ranked by Gold Production” on YouTube — Economy Horizons

Barbara Crane Navarro

Me: PLEASE DO NOT BUY OR USE GOLD!
As much as 75% of the gold extracted each year is used for jewelry, watches and other vain and futile status symbols sold by corporations in the luxury industry as well as discount retailers worldwide.  
Tens of thousands of rainforest trees must be uprooted, hundreds of tons of soil mined and mixed with dozens of tons of toxic environmental pollutants that contaminate indigenous lands for that one special gold ring…
Please give gifts that don’t destroy nature and the lives of indigenous peoples!

Russia , USA , Canada , Australia, South Africa and Mexico are among the largest Gold producing countries .

Apple Orchard in the Wilderness

Michael Stephen Wills Photography

….continued from the chapter “A Ride to Reavis Ranch”

Imagine walking across the ranch house ruin towards where I described the former pond. Looking to the east and north from the elevation you see this sight.

In the near distance a grass pasture slopes into Reavis Creek. The creek has flowing water in all but the longest dry seasons. By the way, the trail from Pine Creek is on the slopes of that conical feature in the distance, to the left.

Click any photograph for a larger version.

Looking from the former house site towards the Arizona Trail running beneath the distant red rock ridge. Not the fence rails on the left and apple trees in bloom.

From the ruin, walk down the Arizona Trail, south, for a few hundred feet and turn left into the fields to encounter the same apple tree, and a close up of pure white…

Juneteenth Is Now Official, But …

Filosofa's Word

Tomorrow is Juneteeth.  If you don’t know what Juneteenth is, please visit my post from last year to refresh your memory.  In short, Juneteenth is “a holiday celebrated on 19 June to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved people in the US. The holiday was first celebrated in Texas, where on that date in 1865, in the aftermath of the Civil War, slaves were declared free under the terms of the 1862 Emancipation Proclamation.”  But in this, the era of extreme racism in government, police, and society, it is much, much more than that.

I was so moved that I was speechless, a rarity for me, when President Biden signed a bill, the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act, into law yesterday declaring that June 19th is, from this point forward in the United States, a federal holiday.  The bill landed on the President’s desk despite some 14 members…

Happiness Between Tails by da-AL

K-D doggie is a singer. K-D takes her singing seriously.

Even writers get hungry. When I hit a rough patch as I edit “Flamenco & the Sitting Cat,” my novel, it’s fortunate I’ve got my workmate who reminds me to break for lunch. Having her beside me as I eat on the steps of our front porch turns breezes into caresses. If she’s in the mood, she’ll serenade me when a siren inspires her…

These soft days of late spring are when Monarch butterflies make their way across Los Angeles. They’ve flown all the way from Canada and are headed for Mexico (here’s a wild PBS video of them). How arrogant humans are to use our supposed intelligence as a yard-stick against the know-how of earth’s other life forms, insects included.

During a recent walk with K-D, I accidentally shot these photos as I listened to an audiobook (the outstanding “How the One-Armed Sister…
