A new blog to contain answers to prompts

Since my old blog "Everyday Canvas " became overfilled, here's a new one. This new blog item will continue answering prompts, the same as the old one.

Cool water cascading to low ground
To spread good will and hope all around.

In response to "Why April?"

April has some special characteristics, like the other months. The blogger dislikes this month due to the income tax return. He has to labour too much for arranging all the necessary documents. It is a hectic schedule. The IRS system is a better option. But it can be costly.

In response to "Why April?"

I wish there was no IRS but I do realize it's a necessary evil. Like you I hate having to compile everything.

Eliot's poem is a stark reminder for me of what man is capable of doing.

In response to "Stranded?"

"As it is, I am used to talking to myself and to wild life." Me too!

Though I never had deer watch tv with me, like Lyn.

I have had hummingbirds hang out on my shoulder and hat.

Lyn's a Witchy Woman

I am so glad

you, too, talk to the animals. I mean house cats and other pets, everyone does (I think), anyway. But the wildlife that isn't tamed is another story.

In response to "Stranded?"

I talk to the hummingbirds and they've grown used to it. They hover around me and chatter like they're telling me something. They chatter with Pumpkin to when he's in the enclosure. The finches are a bit more guarded they land on the top of the trampoline and watch me as I talk to them. Once in a while one will sing back.

In Maine, the deer used to come to my living room window and watch television with me. I began talking with them and their ears would flicker. They were very happy when I started putting apple chunks in the window box so they could snack while watching television.

I've done a weel totally by myself camping by the 7th day I was so ready for civilization.

In response to "Do Women Need Solitude?"

I love this concept you wrote:

"We can all find ourselves in stillness or in action, with or without solitude."

and this: Who we are as women may already be showing up in the ways we live, love, resist, and deal with the world.

It is absolutely true! women have such demands, and we shoulder much.

In response to "Do Women Need Solitude?"

Vic works from home so I'm never actually alone, but I do spend a lot of time outside reading, I find it peaceful and restorative because I'm surrounded with the birds. Often, I simply sit and watch the hummingbirds. Those moments are precious.

I always wanted a library room, one that was just mine where I could write or read for hours, maybe someday.

In response to "Do Women Need Solitude?"

Even taking time to do the dishes can be a contemplative time of solitude. I know everyone else around here disappears when the time comes...lol
