A to Z Challenge O, P
Open your eyes! Oscar the Octopus is out to escape. After observing that tank full of the powerful, eight-limbed, graceful Oscar, a mollusc of the order Octopoda, figures out the escape route over and over. He outsmarts the humans. Every time. He may be too intelligent for his own good, yet he can’t pass up a challenge.
The ocean is full of outstanding animals! But the octopus is over the top!

Review: Shōgun by James Clavell
Shōgun by James Clavell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I read this way back in the 80s. It was a big, thick paperback. I loved it. Then I watched the movie (or was it a series?) with Richard Chamberlain. Then I was blown away. I was already crazy about Mr. Chamberlain—so much so that, as an early teen, I’d sneak a mirror into the bookshelf in the hall at just the right angle so that even though it was…

Review: My Grape Quebec by Laura Bradbury
My Grape Quebec by Laura Bradbury
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love this series! I get to exercise my little bit of Duolingo French and travel with Laura, first to France and then to Montreal, Quebec, the destination of this book. The only bit of Canada I’ve been to was Victoria, BC. And then only a few hours on vacation when I was a child.
The relationship between Laura and Franc develops through…

A-Z Challenge, L, Stream of Consciousness Saturday,
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: ends with “ound.” Find a word (or words) that ends with “ound” and use it any way you’d like. Have fun!
AND
Since The month of Flounder that word seems in the front of my brain. It obviously fits both and neither of the prompts. So I’ll continue to flounder about in this stream.
It is a real storm outside thunder and lightning giving…

A-Z Challenge, K and Finishing Friday
Of course, K is for knitting!
There are two more rows of ribbing for the arch of the foot and then the heel, and then it will be finished. Maybe by next week.
I need to make another couple of inches on this pair. But the thinner yarn and needles make this a slower knit.
Yay! At least one pair is not ribbing. This is finally on the heel. I have figured out how to keep track of where I left off.…

A to Z Challenge, J
Just thinking about things can keep you awake at night. Half the time, you justify things done and other times, you go into full-on judgment. Jabberwokies fly or swim with jugglers who jab you in the ribs. All that from the thoughts or books before going to sleep.

At this advanced age, I am learning that I have a bit of control over this potential joyride…

A-Z Challenge, H
Hair. Let’s talk about hair. I was a cosmetologist. I loved doing hair. But my body, back, and legs hated standing all those hours. So, I quit doing hair. Still, when I pass a salon, I swoon at the chemical smells that represent the fun I used to have. I know it wasn’t all that good for me or even the clients, but the artistry of building something nice kept me in pain as long as I could handle…

A-Z Challenge, F & G
Courtesy of my daughter. Thanks! She was going for a walk with Maggie, her dog. They saw a Family of Four Foxes.
She only captured the one. Isn’t he/she cute?
Gratefully, I’m making strides on many levels. German is coming along. I’ve added more languages. I think 12 now. I doubt I will ever be conversant in most of them. But with two grandmothers who died from Alzheimer’s, I’m trying to keep…

Re-Review: The Land of Painted Caves by Jean M. Auel
The Land of Painted Caves by Jean M. Auel
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was my second “read.” I just listened on Audible. This time, I was less enchanted. I felt it was repetitive, repeating so many stories from the previous books. I wouldn’t say I liked Jondalar and got mad at Ayla several times. And the Zelandoni (I’m not sure how to spell the one that relates to the first one–Audible) didn’t…

Stream of Consciousness Saturday,
Per Linda:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “express.” Use it as a noun, verb, adverb, or adjective. Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!
Express yourself, they say. But there are rules. Proper etiquette, grammar, clothing, hair. Now it must fit with the current trend or political leaning. Religion, or not. What you eat, or don’t.
Express yourself, in the moment, the…

A-Z Challenge, E and Finishing Friday
A-Z Challenge
Eventually, all these will be finished. But here is evidence of work completed.
These somehow drifted to my husband’s side of our mutual recliner table. I had just joined the toe with the foot part. I’ve added on the all the way to the arch ribbing.
Ending a heel problem. See the little tubes! They are fine elastic thread I’m experimenting with to strengthen the heel, rather than…

A-Z Challenge, D

December in January
Yesterday I was singing about April Showers and May Flowers.
At midnight amid the rain there were huge snowflakes the size of ping-pong balls.
This morning:
Suddenly, there were birds photo bombing.
Now we’re down to the weeds and mud.😏
So I worked on my beach diamond painting.
With D!

A to Z One-Liner Wednesday,

Linda’s One-Liner Wednesday
Chatting cannot be counted as unproductive.
This is going to be my new mantra, as I have a hard time calling people. I want to hear their voices and find out how their lives are going, but I am always afraid I’ll disturb them. I always answer if I can or call them right back, but initiating a call is so hard for me. Is it…

A-Z Challenge (Renegade) B
The original prompts for this month can be found here: http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com
But I find the page and process a bit much this year. So I’ve gone rogue. A renegade of the blogosphere.
But the beauty at the end of the last false spring day brings near tears to my eyes. See those dark clouds on the horizon? That’s the beginning of a few more days of blizzardy, blustery cold. We might even…
