Touched
Soft and cool, smooth and neat.
One sensation that can’t be beat,
stretched beneath my legs and feet?
A newly ironed bottom sheet.

In and Out
In and Out
The Lapdog
Dogs that stand outside and seek admittance to within
overlook the worth of what they’ve seen and where they’ve been.
Those of us sealed fast inside yearn to see the world
that we have been deprived of as we lie securely curled
in the safety of our houses, away from chasing cars
and other fun activities kept from us by bars.
We would feel such ecstasy racing after squirrels,
other dogs and cats and lizards, skunks and boys and girls.
We seek to flee the rules that those street dogs seem to flout.
We would have such wild adventures if we only could get out!!
The Street Dog
Lucky little dogs with collars sit there looking out
as though they do not know what life for street dogs is about.
We’d love to have their pampering and their daily feeding.
What they seek escape from is exactly what we’re needing!
The Prompt: Tell us about a time you were on the outside looking in. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/prompts/the-outsiders/
Think Pink: Flower of the Day
Think Pink
These huge and incredible blooms were almost obscured by the leaves of a monstrous tree on the Lake Chapala Society grounds. I had to get under them to photograph them as they hang straight down. I have no idea what the name of the tree is and in the past have just caught them after the flowers all dry up and turn brown. Thanks, Jessica, for pointing them out!

Enchiladas Suiza
Just as good as they look! Yesterday’s “comida” in the Ajijic Plaza, after picking up my nephew and his partner from the plane in Guadalajara. This (below) is what they had, although it isn’t green and orange:
This is a “molcajete mixto”––marinated beef, chicken, shrimp,green peppers, mushrooms, onions and cheese! They shared it and had enough left over for another meal.

Unwarranted Evaluation
Unwarranted Evaluation
I feel it with my writing and I feel it with my art.
Although you say the opposite, I’m really not that smart.
When people rave I feel like in a way I don’t deserve it.
In case I might get better, perhaps they should reserve it.
The only time I feel that I deserve praise, if they’d do it,
is when somebody sees my work and chooses to eschew it!!!
Prompt: The Great Pretender–Are you full of confidence or have you ever suffered from Imposter Syndrome? Tell us all about it.

To live in yesterday’s a sorrow.
From the past I need not borrow.
All I need is my tomorrow.

Finding Heart!: Have a Heart Challenge
Finding Heart: Have A Heart Challenge
There are times when we have to look extra hard for heart in this world, but it is always there. Even in the three hardest and most frightening experiences in my life, I was able to find a heart that got me through the experience. Heart is what pulls us through the hardest times and what makes for the best of times. Please share by story or photos or both, a time when you found heart and post your pingback in the comments section of this post. You might also want to publish it HERE. (That’s the very last prompt page WordPress published. Appropriately, their subject was RSVP.)
Does Anyone Know What This Bug Is?
Does Anyone Know What This Bug Is?
It is about an inch long and runs very fast. I took 2 dozen pictures of it and this was the only one that wasn’t blurred! I’ve never seen one before. Looks like it should have wings, but it doesn’t. The answer? It is called a Cow Killer Ant or a Velvet Ant but it is actually a variety of wasp whose female is wingless. It is called a Cow killer Ant because of the saying that its sting is so painful that it could kill a cow!
R.S.V.P.: Partying with Best Friends
R.S.V.P.: Partying with Best Friends
For four good friends, if they would come,
I’d just serve wine and Coke and rum.
Three would have to travel far
and couldn’t come by foot or car.
On the plane, while flying in,
they’d begin their life of sin––
ordering drinks to get in training.
Meanwhile, airline food disdaining.
Only one could get here quickly.
She could be here lickety splickly.
We’d have a bit of wine and rum
so when the others finally come,
we’d be caught up and go right on
and keep this up till all are gone.
Gone my friends and gone the wine.
Time to get back into line!!!!!
On the run to get the the Feria, but you know who you are!!! https://dailypost.wordpress.com/prompts/rsvp/ Plan the perfect party for someone you like best.
