The hum of the distant mower gave her a thought. Rose, fed up with her neighbor, had to put an end to it Every Saturday night, Kelvin mowed his lawn. In the dark! She couldn’t enjoy her patio, nor fire pit, with that constant drone in the background.

That’s when she had a brilliant idea. As quietly as possible, rolling her own mower next door, she waited. Soon, he started, as did Rose, crossing paths. Kelvin demanded to know what she was doing.

“When in Rome, neighbor” she smirked.

All’s quiet now, except for the sound of a crackling fire.

 

Author’s note:  This is based loosely on true facts.  The names have been changed to protect the guilty.  😉

Oh how I wish this wind would stop!

Leaves flying about, high in the air

My balloons, try to take me, please don’t pop!

I could wind up anywhere!

Streaks from the sky, a sunbeam escapes

It’s so annoying, the constant glare

I keep moving, back and forth I traipse

But the sun doesn’t really care

I guess I’ll have to hold on tight

Let the winds take me where they will

Drink in the sun until it is night

Then I’ll complain about the chill

disgust-clipart-smiley_disgustedFor the past several days, I have been commenting on blogs, etc, and disappearing into oblivion.  Not spam, not trash, OBLIVION!!  I’m tired of fighting with this on a constant basis.  Please forgive me if I do not comment on your blog, because how would you even know??!!.  Just know that I am reading and hoping WordPress finds an answer to  whatever issue they’re having now….sigh
