#CYW #BurntSienna
I recall a leather chair
the smell of it as I sat in it in the morning
it’s sound as I got my back into its folds
it squeaked – like a mouse looking for food
Looking out beyond the glass
in a warm seat
looking out for snowmen
beyond the garden fence
Sitting there quietly
watching the snowflakes
fall to the ground
whilst warming my hands on a hot mug
#fowc #fandango #curious #cat #kitten #wool
Curiosity might be what killed the cat, but
up halfway on the stairwell
rolling about in grandma’s knitting
is a furry little fellow
on a hunt for the big woollen ball
up high of the pyramid
sat in the basket
#insects #spider #bugs #autumn #winter
When the deciduous trees decide to lose their leaves
six legged creatures try their best to find somewhere warm
scurrying quickly over gravel and soil
and leaving a trail over branches that coil
sometimes hanging around the garden shed
or inside a cupboard that’s darkened instead

Old man sits
in his burgundy robe
looking around his ill gotten gains
Behind him – the picture of some
Ancestor from long ago – who’s
Real estate has served the family well, both at home and
Overseas….he’ll live
Nicely on the proceeds of the stuff brought from underground

an acrostic from inkdrop
from a prompt from the imaginarium
sometimes I wonder why they’re there
popping up from out of the garden and setting up in the kitchen
i get the idea, these six legged fellows don’t like the cold…
desperate, they’ll weave their webs in hidden spaces, like
every cubby hole or stair cupboard

In response to the daily post prompt
Tortoiseshell tom surveys his patch of green
even the dogs know to stay off this lawn
royal rumbles await any interloper
rounding on the garden
its all his – and every night he lets you know
taking on those who’d want to mark their place
on his little kingdom
right now though – this little prince is
yelling at the front door….he wants his lunch!!!!
Good Gravy! It’s cold – said the wolf to his chums
Home’s where we should be, where its not so glum – So
Over to the old haunted house they to go as their
Shivering and eerie forms they glow
Tonight they’ll meet up with their friend for some tea
(and fly around the top of the house for free)
Living in holes
in the side of a
very high mountain
in warmth and out of the cold
northern wind – was only
going to be the start
Logs pulled to ground in an
Instant – and bound together with rope made from
Vines provided shelter and
Instant relief from the wall of rain
Notably
Green from the leaves
A response to the Daily post Weekly Photo Challenge
A Tangerine for Elevenses
When they are around, when i’m heading for BASIC I always take a Tangerine (or two)with me for the break period during the photography class. I like fruit, but Tangerines more, because of the way they fit in the hand and are easy to Peel!
They are also less messy than another of my Favourites , Oranges…(see below)
Three of my Favourite Fruits
I like oranges, particularly the juice. But also sliced up and served with a dash of sugar.
Apples are great any time of the year, but if I had to pick a favourite I prefer green to red
When the greengrocer can get them, I also enjoy Kiwi fruit – you cant eat the skin but this fuzzy haired fruit has a really lovely taste
They say you should have five a day – but the fruit is nice any time of the day.
Another fruit I enjoy are Bananas. Any time of the Day. either as part of Breakfast, or as a pudding after lunch or tea….Normally seen eaten by me tween two slices of Warburton’s Wholemeal – with or without the addition of chocolate spread 🙂
Also nice covered in custard, or in a cake – or a mix of the two 🙂 Apologies for the last pic not being here – I scoffed the evidence (Hee Hee!)
Fence
For years, a defining line for who owns what
each individual tending their side of it
never forgetting of course to
converse with the neighbours next door
everybody keeping their patch of green tidy
