Newt
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: finale. It’s the end of the year, the sun will set on another year!
Hoppy Newt Oar, everyone, and hope and prayers for next year.
rock
We keep running across boulders that we can’t bring home. Good thing, or my house would REALLY be cluttered. I only bring home rocks that I can fit in my reticule.
For today’s Ragtag Daily Prompt.
Layers
These are the layers of sand and clay that wash out with the winter storms. The tides get very high and new rocks are exposed and trees come down. We do not want to be standing beneath them when they collapse or >>ZAP<<.
This is for the Ragtag Daily Prompt: zap.
twisted kelp
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: twist.
aftermath
Aftermath to the storms, with the beach littered with the trees washed down the river.
It looks like noon on Christmas morning too: trashed.
Wild hope
Seen on our trip to Forks three days ago.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: hopeful.
hollow
The Ragtag Daily Prompt today is hollow. Hollow, halloween, hollow promises, and hallowed promises. Which is it?
My friend in Michigan was teaching his three children to use a fire extinguisher at Thanksgiving. What a wonderful use for the hollow rotting Halloween pumpkin! They each got a chance to use the fire extinguisher and put out the fire. Emergency preparedness on Thanksgiving Day! That is an example of wonderful parenting as far as I am concerned.
freezing level
Yesterday a trip to Forks is in order. There is snow around Lake Crescent and you can see the freezing level part way up the mountain. It is beautiful as we rise into the pass between the Elwha Valley and the Sol Duc Valley. In the Sol Duc Valley there is less snow at road level, but it’s still in the mountains. A gorgeous day.
hat trick cat tree
I am not sure that the photograph really fits the prompt, the Ragtag Daily Prompt: sleekit. But maybe a yelling rubber chicken is appropriate. I start my tree this year with a bare stick with a fork in it.
I add lights to my stick.
I add ornaments to my stick.
The cats promptly knock it over and break some.
I remove delicate ornaments and get out the plastic and soft ones.
I finally add four branches from my cedar.
This is my adult children’s fault. They told me not to get a live tree. I figured that a dead one is legit, right?
Pretty sleekit, right?
