Life stories

Two sisters, 11 and a half and 16 and a half. Both born in the month of November, died on the same day in July 1901. In death, together in the same grave. In the next grave, a woman, same last name, died the same year, at 47 and a half. Their mother? 

What were their stories, in life, and in death?

One Single Impression prompt 210: Underground

Voyage of discovery

Sailing to  -  or escaping from?

Yesterday's snow

Yesterday's snow on a wind blown mountain side, 

illuminated by the low afternoon sun.

Porpoises

Seagulls bobbing on the water. A flock of porpoises playing nearby. Breaking the surface, blowing, diving. Up and down, until they are out of view. The birds kept their cool, and I had received a treat from Mother Nature.

Mindful writing prompt #32: In Matters of Rest

Sleep. Rest. Rest. Sleep. Sleep. Rest. 

So connected. So ordinary. So not the same. 

So connected. So... expected.

Sleeping, not sleeping, not resting. Anytime, anywhere. 

Waking up... unrested. Exhausted.

Perpetuity

Perpetual rain, huge drops hitting the windows, hanging on for dear life before being driven sideways across the panes by the wind. The perpetual story of this winter.

The Versatile Blogger Award

When I went through my list of e-mails after getting home from my holiday, a wonderful surprise was waiting for me in one of them. 

Freya Pickard of the Pure Haiku and the Dragonscale Clippings blogs had nominated me for The Versatile Blogger Award. Thank you soooo much for thinking of me, Freya!
