Random Pic - Mushrooms




I was trolling some of my favorite sites for blog prompts and one had a random picture generator. I used to look at pictures in magazines and make up little stories about them. I haven’t done that in a long time and decided to try it again. The picture above is what came up.

The first thing I thought of was maybe a poem or two. Haiku is one of my favorite forms of poetry, so that was easy:

Mushroom or toadstool
Is a fungus among us
Either one can kill
~*~   ~*~   ~*~   ~*~   ~*~
I also love fairytales and came up with a little poem for children:

7 little fairy houses
On the forest floor
Each one lived in all alone
Behind a hidden door
They sleep all day
And play at night
Because they love the moon
They write their names
On all the trees
With special Fairy Runes
Because they’re shy
Of humankind
You won’t see them about
Unless you learn
Their secret names
And softly bid them out:
Moonwind, Petal, Shimmer, Whisper, Leafkind, Star, Liana
~*~  ~*~  ~*~  ~*~  ~*~
I doubt the mushrooms in the picture are the kind they serve in restaurants, but I LOVE sautéed
mushrooms in butter and garlic. I could eat them with almost any meal other than breakfast. Strike that, I would put them in an omelet with cheese. Hashbrowns on the side. And now I’m hungry…

Mayday! Mayday! Part 5




May 29 – End of the Middle Ages Day. Life was pretty rough back then. Catch a cold and you die. Cut your finger and you die. Give birth and you die. And that’s if you were rich! If you were poor, you might just as well lay down and die right away. I’m sure the folks that were left at the end of the Middle Ages were happy to party about it…

May 30 – My Bucket’s Got a Hole in It Day. Good little metaphor about life, eh? Whaddya gonna do…fix the hole and carry on. Another one springs up. Fix that one too. Just don’t kick it!

May 31 – National Macaroon Day. Not to be confused with National Macaron Day. That’s an entirely different dessert. Macarons are prettier, with all the pastel colors, but macaroons are hearty little buggers. Love coconut. Not that I would turn down a macaron if one were to be offered…

Hope you enjoyed all the little remembrances for May. I had fun doing this. Now we’ll be heading into June. Getting hotter. Crank up the A/C, get a glass of iced tea or iced coffee and relax with a book. I love summer!

Mayday! Mayday! Part 4




May 22 – Buy A Musical Instrument Day. Marv plays the trumpet and recorder. I play the piano. My brother plays piano, guitar and sings. Music was always important while I was growing up. It seems to have gone by the wayside now in schools. I find that very sad.

May 23 – Penny Day. If you have enough of them, you can buy just about anything. It takes a LOT of them, though.

May 24 – Escargot Day. Never in a million years. Nope. Not gonna. Can’t make me. I’d rather kiss a Wookiee.

May 25 – Tap Dance Day. Amazing talent. Remember sticking thumb tacks on the bottoms of your shoes so you’d tap when you walked? Good ol’ days…

May 26 – Grey Day. Another one I couldn’t find anything on. And I refuse to talk about the obvious. So here is a nice pic of a grey day. I think there is beauty to be found in such a day. Calm. Still. Just wrap up snuggly.

May 27 – Body Painting Arts Festival. The first thing that came to mind was the gal in Goldfinger and the green alien girl in Star Trek. This pic shows a bit more elaborate design.

May 28 – National Hamburger Day. This is a pic of a Western Bacon Cheeseburger at Righteous Burger here in Oroville. Best in the world!!! Yes, it’s pricey, but OMG is it worth it!! This is where we go when we want something really special for dinner!
