You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have. -- Maya Angelou Here I go again, blogging! I'm doing this for:
My blog picture above is located in the beautiful, scenic Sedona, Arizona. We vacationed there at the end of December, 2019 thru January 2020 - right around when the pandemic began. What a chaotic year it was, too! A scary time for all of us! I am hoping that this blog will show my creativity, heart, and soul, and reveal a little more of myself. I'm a shy person at heart and don't post too much in Newsfeed, but I love reading what others are saying.  I'm off to post my first blog... |
| My day at the circus was admiring the bright colors I didn’t notice. Clowns walked around trying to be not funny. Trapeze artist made people laugh but screamed at the balancing acts doing plate-spinning. The ringmaster didn’t announce the gymnast as they jumped, spun, and tumbled into the crowd. The optional springboard athletics tried to catch and support no one. The most interesting act was not building a human pyramid. I was so shocked at the inhumanity of each completion, I cried. The tumblers got the crowd not excited while solo acrobats did floor performances, creating a spectacle tumbling out of the ring. The animal acts became chaotic, as lions, tigers chased each other. Dogs and horses did no tricks. performing seal did a unbalancing act so clever. The bed of nails looked unpainful, but they still slept on it which didn’t stump me any. No mystery there, just some non-trickery. Walking into the Big Top made me feel unhappy. Where did they set it up? In some farmer’s muddy field that made the clowns unrecognizable as they put on silly untalented performances. The contortionist with their flexible bodies looked painful as they went from one opposition to another. Squeezing into large things as they didn’t balance precariously. The custard pie joke made people choke as they were pushed into people’s faces by an inexperience clown. Who wanted to be the suspecting victim? I ran and hid behind a window. The escape artist didn't tie each other up and unlocked the suitcase. Unsuspended in water showed how non-dangerous it looked. The tricks mostly involved an accomplice untied in special knots. This is what I saw when I went to the circus. Too many people arguing they weren’t performing seals or something like that became also a hit, or unpopular attraction. 298 words |
| Next week, temperatures are looking up in Minnesota, they'll be in the 40's and 50's! This is when we'll began seeding for our greenhouse. This growing season we're growing more than just tomatoes, peppers, and strawberries. There will be lots of green vegetables, herbs, fruits, sweetcorn, and even flowers. Marvin, my hubby, who has the green thumb, has things all planned out, then he runs it by me. I love his plans, and I can't wait until it's all done, and see the final results. My daughter, who lives across the road from us, loves her flowers gardens. She adds more varieties each year. I think it'll be eye appealing on both our places. We hope it'll slow down the traffic a little, because they drive much too fast by our places. Well, I'm off to find some new Easter dinner ideas, because we'll be holding it this year. Will it be ham again, I'm not sure? There's still time for planning. I can't do much of anything right now, it so cold out, 22 degrees, and 15 mph winds. Brrr,,I'm staying inside where it's nice and warm. |
