Forty today forty-seven tomorrow,

Like mother mature on drugs, Not normal, January and February coldest months in northern Iowa, Like going late to food bank, Like why bother, Hate being at food bank knowing I missed the good stuff, Warm weather early more old people will die! We need the cold, Its part of nature,

Sention beings

Humanity finds it hard, What stupid beast we are, Judging other mammals only worth to be hunted to extinction, Mere ornaments for a wall, Let’s look at human traits: Thought animals four and two figure things out, Cognitive thought my cats hate walking on the ground its to humdrum they prefer jumping from box of

Drizzle in Buchanan,County

Just starting eight hours from when those in science said it would begin thanks a lot, Is this the precision that has those in the south believing America is going to finally have that internal revolution that those of us who studied history knew was coming? I had a friend tell me last week in

No big SURPRISE!

Weather people changed forecast, Its backwards now, From six pm to noon tomorrow, Not a blizzard now a drop of the white stuff, A drop is better, What City Slickers fall to get, What comes down now helps farmers water level for spring planting, And baby girls and boys it’s damn dry every where! If

Still fifty-two degrees, Feels saunaish in my home, Two nights ago was cold, We were taught at the Heike’s if its summer and a yard sale has blankets or Afghans or quilts buy them, Nana’s sofa no one else wanted me included, It was flowered and very low, To give it height I suck magazine

Two quake

California, If not for my New York friend, Dorothy who lives in the Bay area, Also thanks to Facebook no local Iowa news thinks it important to discuss, That is of more interest to me then hearing over and over the lie that ‘Grassely’s’ an Iowan farmer, Even his own neighbors are not going to

Twenty hours apart

Two older women, Travel time, Week each way! Just twenty hours away, Not a million, Only twenty-four in a day, Looking back, Seems impossible trip was so long, But it was, We saw a rest area with a rocket, The country, Wood carvings, Tennessee, Cairo,Illinois, Kentucky, Alabama, Mountains in Georgia, Cemeteries,

Fall is in the air

Last week temps were chilly at night, Not October chilly, Not none chill of February, But still not normal August chill, The Sumac and Prairie grass color scheme is yellowed or rusty, That will be ok by me, I’m through that damn unnatural heat, This is most Electric bill I ever pain, Turn off the
