Thankful Thursday January 20, 2022

 Night , Moon and Stars

Setting moon

tree branch clock below the stars

Timeless peace

I am so very thankful for my wonderful

husband; talented, can fix anything, kind, generous, 

wonderful sense of humor and patient!

The list goes on and on!!

This week has been a difficult week for our

little neighborhood. One of our neighbors

passed away after being very ill. It makes all 

of us look around and count our blessings.

Thanks Brian for Thankful Thursday.

Magpie 103 or Ode to Jello

My heart wiggles
My tongue jiggles the taste
Of tangy berries

Two for the price of one!

Brick by brick
The snug little house was built
Blowhard safe
~~~~~~~~~~~~
There once was a guy named Clay
Who loved to make bricks all day
Til one sunny morning
Without any warning
He left for Spain to make whoopay

Four Haikus -Magpie Tales #46

Two empty hands

Palms up lacking promise

Lacking care

~~~~~~~~~~

OR

Warm soft gloves

Keep lovers hands cozy while

Clasping mine

~~~~~~~~

OR

Two lost gloves

One right - one left make a pair

When desperate

~~~~~~~~~~~

OR

Left behind

and on the other hand

you're right

~~~~~~~

Happy New Year !

Magpie #43 Snow's Up!

First snowflakes

Softly fallen from the sky

Look for happy feet

Magpie 36

Open doors

stretch arms out wide side to side

Hugging all

Magpie #32....time is sweet

Time is sweet

Savor each drop as if your last

Sugar sweet grain
