Some time ago I noticed a really strange bug. It looked so much like a part of
a leaf.
So I ran inside to get the video camera.
The following is the result that I posted on my You Tube Channel.
This is the Walking Stick's debut….

I wrote this poem some time ago.
Then one day I saw this contest in a magazine. It was for a poetry site where
you submit for an anthology poetry book.
Yes–prizes where supposed to be awarded.
The book it was supposed to be in was expensive and designed beautifully.
Your poem could be on mugs, magnets and more.
Well–I never won one of the prizes. But some time later—my poem appeared
on a poetry online website. Daily people could vote on whether they liked it or not.
Just because I submitted to one contest (I obtain copyright to this poem)—it seems like they say went forth and multiplied.
Which goes to say—you never know what you are getting into.
So here is my poem. I found out it is on Poetry.com—currently.
Dainty Dandelion
Dandelion, dandelion
How did you get your name
It is quite a shame
The way people pluck out
Your dainty yellow head
Peeping shyly out of flowerbeds
Tossed out of lawns, dead
Sitting so shiny and bright
It does not seem right
Something so pretty
Considered a noxious weed
Would you believe
Is a first hint of spring.

All right. I take a long time to buy things.
I have needed a new mixer for the kitchen. The old one is a White Westinghouse. It works but sometimes hesitates. So yes –it is old.
So I went to the local Kmart—it seems like they had a special.
Yeah —right. There was a mixer that rests on a stand for $25 dollars –only comes in red.
Then there was this Hamilton Beach Hand Mixer 62692—comes with beaters and a whisk. The mixer then rests on a Snap On Case.
Boy—when you try to mix your batter—the beaters fall out. Won't lock in. Then the cord is so short as you mix—it comes out of the wall. Okay—when done—if you last that long—place on top of flimsy storage case and hope it doesn't fall over.
Guess I will be returning it. I had to make some cookies for
the upcoming art show that I will be in. What a definite hassle!

Some time ago I made a video of an upset little squirrel in a tree. He was crying
and barking as the tree swayed in the wind. It was obvious he saw something below that frightened him.
So get ready with your camera—if you are a nature lover. It is the time of the year, when young squirrels go out on their own and explore the world.
Yes–they will bark.

Due to the recent changes at Etsy—I have decided to close my shop there—Skymoonlady.
I enjoyed being part of the Etsy experience. I also met a lot of great people.
But being forced to accept a payment plan that I do not want or need is just ridiculous.
I use Paypal and do not want direct payment with Etsy. Paypal is easy and safe for me.
I do not want to share personal info like social security– vital dates —bank account information over the internet to set up a payment plan I do not want or need. I do not want to have to prove to Etsy —who I am —just for the sake of selling a twelve dollar necklace.
I mean who is going to profit with my personal info? It is not for my benefit.
Listen to all the well educated security experts that tell us to NEVER give out this information over the internet.
Etsy is playing the part of Rhett Butler in this scene by telling us—-"Scarlet…Frankly I don't give a dam."
Just like Gone With The Wind—so gone is my shop.

We have all have experienced it. What is it?
When you have been packed or bagged by an over zealous clerk at a check out counter.
So you say to me—Well what do you mean? All right let's start at the beginning.
You are in the grocery store. You have a whole wagon (or cart) of food and supplies. Looking back—maybe it is at least $100 dollars worth. There are heavy cans—paper supplies–meat—deli items—pet supplies—soda—bread and etc.
Then the clerk rings everything up. Looks with a gleam in her eye and then tries to fit it all into two dinky plastic bags. WHY??? Is she on some kind of mission to save plastic bags by giving me something unrealistic to lift to and from my car? Does she think Superman or Wonder woman is out there sitting —waiting to put these concrete weights into and out of my car?
Then there is the I Am Saving The Planet starting with you clerk. I stopped off at the Rite Aid store. They have a great section of low priced cookies, crackers, canned fruit, paper supplies, plastic pitchers, cleaning supplies, kitchen towel, dish rags and more. So I though I would stock up and had one of those plastic carry baskets stacked up to the rim.
I approached the counter and the manager clerk—said —just lift the whole basket onto the counter—-it is easier. It was a little heavier to do it.
Then he said I like to try and save the earth by using fewer bags. He proceeded to stuff things and even lined the pitcher with things inside. Well—he was very pleased with himself. But I said to him—I can not lift that. So he looked foolishly puzzled. I mean who could—maybe we should have had a weight lifting contest with the other people standing behind me. Then he got the message and used another bag.
I have a message to you clerks out there—-It's great you care so much about the environment. But if you are trying to save it—-start with the person after me. Your store's bags are so cheap and the money I spent paid for it many times over.
Besides I recycle these bags on my own. I store hats and handbags in my closet with bags. They also are used to pick up the debris from cleaning up in the garden. I use the plastic bags as garbage bags for my garbage can.
So get the message guys—just do your job—you are not saving the world on my time. You just complicate things for me.

I really don't use this swear word—a ##hole. But maybe it really fits some people. If I was to make a list of jerks or mean silly people—here is a member of the list.
I am adding this man from the supermarket the other day.
It was the Acme Supermarket and early evening. It wasn't
really crowded. I had a number of items–maybe 20. So I got behind a line of three people. The customer in front was busy checking out a magazine.
The cashier just coming on came and said to me—I can
take you on Number 7—she was opening it up.
So I began to back out of the line to go over to where number 7 was.
Soon as I started to go over there. This fool (looked like the hairy guy from Crosby Stills And Nash) pointed his wagon in the direction
to cut me off and ran like an idiot. He really looked stupid and
I never saw anyone run like that with a shopping cart!!!
The cashier saw me and said–I'm sorry. (to me about the idiot)
I just said—Well —if he is in such a hurry–(the heck with him)
let him go. He was already throwing stuff down and packing it.
The cashier kept saying she was sorry to me.
Well—this guy had no manners. I never expected it from an older man—it was so stupid.
Generally people are so nice and polite—What
made this silly— I never realized I was in a race. The dumb
thing was the store wasn't even crowded.

text: Applesauce Day is definitely my favourite of the two April Fools' pranks I've been a part of. It was relatively simple but had such a massive impact on the forum as a whole, as it affected everything and caused so much chaos! Lerroux was OK, but very convoluted for what it was. So much effort! I liked it, but Applesauce Day definitely had a charm about it that is going to be hard to replicate next year and in future years.
