I dedicate these less than stellar answers to my sister Patti, who said she was suffering withdrawal because i had chosen not to do the Fibbing Friday this week. As usual, I minded her and did the prompt.
“Sirens” For Sunday Whirl Wordle 642, Feb 18, 2024
Sirens
Mermaids spin their slippery thread of grass from ocean’s floor,
then string it with the beads of glass and risk their skins for more.
Surfacing to comb the beach for glass rolled round by waves,
then sit in all their finery, enticing sailor knaves
to forfeit breath and life to brave the rocky ocean’s roar
and creamy waves that bear them to a fatal shore.
Words for The Sunday Whirl Wordle are: surfacing breath slippery cream bear sit glass spin beads thread risk skins Image by Jeremy Bishop on Unsplash.
Gregarious, for WWP 351
Gregarious
That Gregory was gregarious
wasn’t a trait nefarious
but still, as he piled word on word,
his excesses seemed most absurd,
and the fact that he was wired,
meant listeners’ interest soon expired.
Thus, the faint-hearted
Soon departed
For WWP 351 the prompt was Gregarious. The answer needs to be exactly 38 words long.
The picture is used for illustrative purposes only, although it must be noted this friend loves to talk!
No one would walk away when he does so, however.

Trying to meet this challenge made me realize how little brown there is in my world–let alone walnut brown! I had to search through thousands of photos to find these photos that could be classified in the category of “walnut brown.”
Weather, Part 2: Hail, Hail.
Click on photos to enlarge.
After I posted my original post, I found two other weather photos I had meant to post with it. They are huge hailstones that fell during a July family reunion at my nephew’s house in Des Moines, Iowa. The storm came up fast, scattering us into various shelters.
Originally, the photo below was the photo I thought I’d taken at that time, but checking out the dates, I discovered that I’d taken it on a beach in December. It looks like conjoined hailstones forming the shape of a heart, but I think that is unlikely. Any ideas of what it may be?
