Wednesday has become our day to clean. It also happens to be the day I make trips to the consignment store with things I deem more than garage sale worthy – like today’s drop-off. It included a framed professional photograph of the moon over the Eau Claire River. The frame was handmade by my husband…

COVID Blahs – Not in the Mood
I’m not in the mood to write today. Yesterday, I felt good, as though I was getting over the virus. Today, not so much. I slept almost 12 hours last night. Although I did that occasionally in my youth, I have not slept that length of time in a very long while. I must have…
Poetry Friday: Reviews of Poetry
I do not have any poetry of my own to share this week as I’ve been sick for several days and have not pursued any writing. I am starting to feel better. It is amazing that we are this far into the pandemic and I am now just getting COVID. I’m so thankful that I…
The Simple Truth: I’m Not Good at Transitions
Last night, for the first night in a while, I had trouble falling asleep. I do have insomnia, but usually, I can get to sleep and end up waking around 2 am for an hour or two if I am having an episode of the infliction I sarcastically call an unwanted visitor. Last night was…
Cardinal Story

I Forgot How Nice it Feels
I’ve forgotten how nice it is to talk to someone (anyone, really) about my conservation work for monarch butterflies. This morning I got to do just that for half an hour! I cannot tell you much yet, but I was interviewed for an upcoming article by a conservation organization. This was something that just came…
Slice of Life: Witnessing Pre-school Fits
While going to the post office this morning, I witnessed something I wish I hadn’t. There is a childcare and pre-school across the street from our post office. It was 11:15 a.m. when I came up the street and saw the school bus stop in front of the preschool. Since it is not very nice…
Tired of Being Humble
I’ll probably take some flack for writing this, but I’m tired of being humble. I’ve been fortunate enough to have had a lifetime of accomplishments as have my immediate family. For the most part, these accomplishments aren’t talked about much with others. But, you know what? I’m tired of that! I’m tired of being modest…
Silent Sunday: Color!
Today is Silent Sunday. This is a day when I post only my own photos on a theme of my choosing. All photos are copyrighted by me, Carol Labuzzetta. There is no permission to duplicate in any form without my express permission.
