“Here we are, the most clever species ever to have lived. So how is it we can destroy the only planet we have?”  ~ Jane Goodall         “Adults keep saying we owe it to the young people, to give them hope, but I don’t want your hope. I don’t want you to be hopeful. I want you to panic. I want you to feel the fear I feel every day. I want you to act. I want you to act as you would in a crisis. I want you to act as if the house is on…

I really wasn't going to touch this one.  And then I couldn't help but go back 23 years.  This week's photo is supplied by Roger Bultot.  Thanks, always to Rochelle for hosting this weekly gathering.  If you want to play along, just click on the frog below and add your link to your 100 words. No Longer Needed Why did you throw out the highchair? I didn't throw it out, I left it on the curb for anyone to pick it up.  It's not like we need it anymore. What if we have another baby? What if we don't?  What…

Australia has a massive and magnificent coastline. Though I've seen much of it, one of my dreams, when we can travel again, in 2021, is to drive the length of the West Australian coast. To leisurely take in the splendour of those red earth roads, wild gorges and big blue skies. The last time I was in WA I was only 19! Next year, when state borders re-open, my dream is to head off in our van and discover our homeland wonders from the top to the bottom. In this post I'm delighted to welcome fellow traveller, wanderluster and gypsy…

No matter how diabolical nights become no matter how savage storms scream, with strength and faith Light surrounds the black forces that threaten, terrorize and kill, as Riders of this Light Sacred before God slay these dark dragons so the Rainbow of Promise may shine evermore. ~~~~~~ Hold strong. You are more powerful than you know. ~~~~ Photography/ "Inevitable"/September 2020©AmyRose www.herladypinkrose.wordpress.com Image watermarked for protection.

When the time came for me to leave high school & further my education, I chose to go into aviation – more specifically, the field of avionics. Avionics is defined as electronics as applied to aviation. What does the mean? It means I spent years in classrooms listening to old people speak, I read a pile of textbooks, I spent a lot of time around & in airplanes, I studied for tests & exams & I finally got a piece of paper which proves I know something… apparently. Take that & combine it with my interest in the airline industry,…

You're probably reading this title, like Olivia why would I want to show grace to people who are unkind? Well, research shows that there are several reasons why someone is a mean or unkind person. A lot of it has to do with how people have treated them in the past, a lack of self confidence, treating you how they feel about themselves - this is called projection and various other psychological reasons. I think that unkind people need the most love. It can be hard to do this, because how can you force yourself to show someone love who…

Use homemade or store-bought bread to make these 6 delicious vegetarian toasts that are perfect for any meal! Step up your toast game with these tasty toast combinations that are completely meat-free! They have so much flavor and are a nice break from a typical peanut butter and jelly toast (my childhood go-to). I made sweet and savory toasts, with some of them being Asian-inspired as I wanted to incorporate some flavors that I am very familiar with into these recipes. I recently purchased a tall loaf pan and immediately baked a milk bread the day I received the pan!…

Hello my dear readers, Some time ago we have discovered the blueberries and we have seen how they are cultivated, stored, how are used in the kitchen, their nutritional values and properties. https://popsiclesociety.com/2020/04/14/discovering-our-food-blueberries-1/ https://popsiclesociety.com/2020/04/16/discovering-our-food-blueberries-2/ The blueberry is a small shrub with a height between 20 and 60 cm. The leaves are oval and light green in color and have a very slow growth. The flowers are white and have a typical inverted jar shape like all Ericaceae. Flowering occurs in May, while fruiting takes place in July - August. The fruits are small bluish berries. This small berry is a…

Welcome to my Flower of the Day Challenge (FOTD).  Please feel free to post every day or when you you feel like it.  Don't forget that my FOTD challenge accepts leaves and berries as well as flowers. Since I'm away from home and hoping for rain I would post old photos of flowers I took after a rain shower. See more Flowers photos on my Pinterest page. This is looking out my office window in the spring.  Doesn't the rain look refreshing.   We are hoping to head home tomorrow morning. I would appreciate you continuing to post your entries on…

What's Cooking in Gail's Kitchen? Table Food: Vegetable Enriched Pasta Meatballs! For a clever way to increase vegetables into your diet, think pasta. The next trip you make to the grocery store could reveal the variety of homemade pasta noodles made with puréed tomatoes, carrots, spinach, and zucchini. Many are cholesterol-free and all-natural, if that sort of thing is important to you. Read the labels carefully. The last thing you want is food coloring instead of the real deal. Chop up fresh onions, green peppers, and garlic, as you normally would. By the time you add marinara sauce and meatballs,…
