Magpie Tales #137

It Must Be Time For Lunch Now, 1979, by Francesca Woodman


If I had three wishes
Or a life to re-live
I'd be in Italy
Rewinding my Leica
Filming a happier end

Squirrel Chatter

 "Hey! Don't bother me- I'm busy!" 

 "Hey! Step away from the acorns.

Mine, mine, all mine."

"Hy-knt tkl rht aw"

Translation of acorn stuffed mouth:

"Hey- can't talk right now."

I could choose

So..... being ambidextrous

I chose the banjo

Magpie #136 Washday Blues

Flying Down, 2006, by David Salle

My impatient fingers are  tapping

I'm so bored watching laundry get done

It's like hearing one hand clapping

But  I need to cover my bum!

Remember March of 2011 ?

On March 27 2011 I  completed two baby quilts

 for twin sons born to some friends of ours.

I just got the latest photo of the family and just have to share it.

They are so darn cute!

Co-incidently the father is part of the Sassparilla Band

that is releasing it's newest CD this weekend in Eugene and Portland Oregon!

 Go see them if you can-

They are fabulous! Here's that link:

Go Do Be!

Eric Alder's Tuesday Photo Prompt 9-18-2012

I'd rather

Find buried irony

Than be ironing

I'd rather 

Dig in my garden

Than shovel out a barn

I'd rather

Cook our dinner

Than be cooked

I'd rather

Read a book

Than be booked.

Magpie #135- Venus and the Sailor

Venus and The Sailor, 1925, by Salvador Dali

Gliding across the ice

and being oh so nice

Venus hissed in his ear

Dahling, you belong on the equator

 You're just not a skater

So far you've tripped me up twice

I'm in a pickle or is it a jam?

I'm not in a pickle nor in a jam

I'm happy in the kitchen

Making food ...yes I am!

Go here to see some delights!

MagpieTales #133 Garden Spirits

Summer Night, 1913, by Albert Bloch

Sometimes I think there's trouble in my garden-

Not little Peter Wabbit or Sammy the Slug

Or even an enormous potato bug

Excuse me-I do beg your pardon

But something is chomping up my garden!

I've fenced with chcken wire

I've spritzed with soap

I even tried chili powder

With zero results!

I'm imagining a small Irish green elf

Who is chortling and laughing all to himself

You see he's the one who's the guilty party

He's inviting them all to come and eat hearty! 

He's lifting the wire 

Brushing off the powder 

He's hosing off  the soap

and thinks I'm a dope! 

Well, HAH I'll get even-just wait for winter 

He'll be pressing his nose to the icy window

Asking oh please do let me in I'm cold you know

So- I'll make a deal and listen to his wishes

He'll get dinner but will have to do the dishes!
