First, Some Found Pictures:
Bash’s bugs! Preying mantises in the center. Spiny leaf insects on the left. Some ants. Some katydids on the right. Bash’s on the right as well, and…Biff? I forget.
Look at that Blondie, all ready for volunteering at the humane society! She keeps asking when we can go back. Here’s hoping she maintains that enthusiasm after cleaning litter boxes. 🙂

Really, Really Bad Food Haiku Because My Brain’s Even More Fried After Working on that Keynote Presentation
Scrambled, fried, mixed up
In a frenzy of green veg:
Eggs. Again. Yippee.
You think you’re so smart,
Posing as pasta under sauce.
I’m on to you, cuke!
Dear Almond Milk, you
Do not my coffee sweeten.
In thirteen days–out!
I forgot how sweet
potatoes glow, delicious,
Kissed with coconut.

And now a really good Donald Maass quote I found about Setting. Yes, Wisconsin farmland’s in the background.
That’s it! I’m tapped. My brain tells me it’s not going to give me anything new until tomorrow, when I can FINALLY get back to novel-writing. So until then, folks, you have yourself a lovely eve with the snow as white as coconut, and I’m going to go gnaw on a rectangle of smushed dates and cashews. Yum.
Who is this lady? You got to visit my exclusive fiction from the Wilds to find out!
Enjoy a free story from the Wilds, or some free River Vine Fiction oooooooor some magic and romance for a steal while I coalesce. Convalesce? Congress? Coagulate? Conjugate?
I’m going to lay down now….
Read on, share on, and write on, my friends!

Poor Almond Milk, no love here. Blondie is more than welcome here to clean out our litter anytime she wants. I think she will love doing the voluntary work and importantly spending quality time with you. That’s a cool quote.

Almond milk is gross. I know some people like it, but nope–I cannot be won over on this. 🙂

Good luck with the presentation.
Like the cucumber Haiku – seems to contain a lot of underlying feeling.

They fluster me! I like the idea of veg-noodles, I really do, but they can’t just be watery veg like cucumber. We need to hunt up some spaghetti squash, methinks…

What a lovely mish-mash of a post! The children’s art; the photo of your daughter; the food poem; the quote about settings; the photo of the woman. I’m wishing you a great week, Jean!

Stuart Wilde tells a story about one of his writing/meditation retreats where he made the students study a raisin for like an hour and write about it. By the end of the hour when they finally got to eat the raisin it was like the best thing they had ever tasted. So it will be with you and whatever foods you eat on Day 31!
