The Week in a Blink

Maery Rose

Give Me a Break
Exhaustion
Drips off me
Puddling 
Onto the floor
Another mess
To clean up

This is not a literal poem as you might be thinking. There have been no puppy accidents for at least two days. She’s getting much better at not peeing in the house and she hasn’t pooped in the house for weeks.  Was that TMI?

All you artists out there, how do you like my sculpture? 

I call it “Do Ya Dig It Puppy-o? No, no,  yo” 
(see? I am tired)
Here is a bit of performance art by the Coffee Clubbers (need to come up with shnazzier name).

The following poem is a real mish-mash. I couldn’t decide whether to rhyme or not rhyme and the rhythm is illusive.  I’m sure I’ve broken every rule in the poetry rule book by now. I should have just skipped the “door” poem, but it’s been snaking through my brain tissue and had to come out,…

Thanks for all the birthday wishes! As part of my birthday celebration, I saw a show called “Wits” put on by MPR on Friday night. The performers included comedian Patton Oswalt and musician Grant Lee Phillips (who performed with REM and Pearl Jam, but is best known to me as Stars Hollows Troubadour on  Gilmore…

Okay, I’m warning you — lots of picture. We got more snow and it produced many photo opportunities. It didn’t start out so lovely — snow blowing and stair shoveling = not fun. But it turned out okay. Although, as I sit here with my aching shoulders and back, I’m considering one of those power…

There has been a big lead up to a blizzard coming our way. Nine inches of snow were predicted for my area. Nine inches is too much for my snowblower to handle, but I’d still like at least a few more weeks to ski so I watched with anticipation all day. I prepared for the…

Why I Do It

Both dogs went to the vet this morning. Java just needed a heartworm test and to get her nails clipped (as long as we were there). Latte had her third round of puppy shots, plus Bordatella because I hope to put Latte in doggy daycare a couple days a week starting next week. That should…

From My Higher Place

I cannot know what this time, this circumstance, a loss, a gain is going to mean to the entirety of my life. Why do I waste so much time resisting my circumstances instead of looking with eyes that see neither negative or positive but just go ahead and live each moment as though it is…

  1. I think Java is quite fitting name!!! All that energy comes through loud and clear. My favorite pic is the one where the two stars have their mouths full!

    Once again..another great poem sweetie!

    God bless and have a great evening!!!

  3. Love the play photos. Sorry that you’re so exhausted. Puppies exhaust me… even when I have all the time in the world for them. But, their cuteness more than compensates.

    I hope that you get some rejuvenation this weekend.

  5. The photos of the doggies, each with something to drag out and play with…FUNNY!
    The poem…a tightly worded description of exhaustion…love it…and can relate.
    The sculpture…hmmm…the Walker might like it though : )

  10. I just realized you named the new pup Latte. And I was just going to suggest that name. Or, did I already? lol!

    I have a mini-mancha goat named Latte, too. 🙂
