In response to "Writing, baking and the joys of getting older"

Yearly tests with all the worry about passing would be daunting.

The smell of freshly baked cakes is something my nostrils can sense even behind this screen. I also did a lot of baking over the years for family. Kids are grown and I stopped doing that much baking. Over time I cut most of the sweets out of my life. Now I can't really eat them because it's not appealing anymore. It affects my palate in a way some people would feel with something very sour like sucking a lemon.

I figured, with diabetes in my family's history I'm only helping to avoid it by declining sweets. So far, so good.

Writers do feel strongly about their stories.

I've been really terrible about editing stories I wrote for a contest that had potential, but then I got bored with editing since the contest ended, and I moved on to newer things.

Have you tried posting your story or stories up to 3 on "The Shameless "Plug" Page"

?

Also, You could request a review from another member who has their review request turned on.

Those yearly tests are probably keeping folks alive. I often ask folks about when they are going to give up their keys. We are fortunate to have alternatives in this town.

I forgot about this contest. I've entered in the past.

Although such events as the one you witnessed can be horrifying, it’s also a privilege to see Nature in the raw, isn’t it?

Thanks for your comments. Yes, we do have a very pleasant time on a Wednesday morning each week. There’s something about an all female group of writers that’s different to a mixed group. We’re all very sensitive to each other’s feelings whilst not afraid to comment and suggest ways to improve our writing. We’re very lucky.

Sounds lovely! Those photos are beautiful. I love the the little cottages. What a pleasant time you ladies must have had in that venue. 1896 cottage.

My house dates back to the late 1830's. I call it my money pit, though!

How beautiful the backdrop is with the local inhabitants. Kangaroos, and exotic birds!

Marilyn is quite the iconic name for a pig. I love how your mother decided that based on the swaying hips.

Nasty guy hitting poor Marilyn! So glad your mom stepped up and told him what's what.

This was a sweet story. I could picture proud Mama Marilyn trying to feed a Baker's Dozen worth of piglets.

Talk about power-Mom!

Nature does what it does best. Something is food for something else. I saw that in Florida. A hawk nabbed a dove in midair over the lake outside my window. Thankfully it didn't land on my shore but went a bit further past my neighbor's place. I saw it pluck all the feathers off the bird. It made a perfect circle of feathers then proceeded to enjoy its meal until an Egyptian Goose flew down in front of it scaring it off. Of course as nature does, the goose was protecting its goslings close by.

Life giving rain

Use these words in your entry: winter, world, clouds, forgiveness, agreement, and time.

Today is the start of winter here in this part of the world: the Southern Hemisphere. Suddenly it seems we’re in a different world. The long summer days of heat and flies have disappeared to be replaced by cloudy days and rain. The rain is wonderful though, there is forgiveness for the drought and loss of stock and crop. It’s as if we’ve made an agreement with the weather gods and we’re receiving the life giving rain in exchange for… who knows? The rain clouds release their life giving liquid and for the time being everything is good.
