I am so sorry that I have been very remiss in posting The Numbers Game for the past month!!! I have been working on 3 books at the same time and my mind just slipped a cog and I totally forgot about it. Strange, because I love both doing it and seeing what you come up with..So, mea culpa. Here is this week’s prompt two days late:  It is Game #137 and the number for photos is 754! Here are mine:

Complicated by Nature

I find my mind keeps spinning until my brain grows weary
ever since I foolishly googled “chaos theory.”

While fatalists declare the world caught up in its rut,
the chaos theorists have theories I cannot rebut

wherein each thing duplicated differs from the last
because of other factors than the mold from which they’re cast.

And suddenly I have excuses for each thing I do.
Why my cake has fallen, and why my bras turned blue

the last time that I washed them the detergent was the same,
and yet something perhaps had changed–chaos theory is to blame!!!

Each snowflake varies from last, each flower is unique.
It seems that our creator demands a bit of tweak

in everything created. Chaos affects  everything.
I guess that Mother Nature wants to keep it interesting!!!

For Bushboy’s Last on the Card

I couldn’t resist adding  the last 8 on the card for the month of May. The moth was clinging to the latch of my entrance gate when a friend came to visit. Earlier, when I was in the hot tub, I got the rest of the photos.  Ollie visiting Frida on the roof, and some vegetation scooped from the pool on my pool scoop. The statue was taken at the Nueva Posada during Friday’s reading.

Then sadly, Diego passed away and the day after, I was introduced to Coco, rescued from the streets of Guadalajara, and you might not be surprised to discover she joined our family. I was egged on to adopt her by my visiting nephew and his friend.
My mom got a man on the beach to make me this collar with my name and her phone number on it, so I guess any escape will be short-lived.
