Once upon a time there was a little chicken, whose name happened to be named Chicken Little. (Go figure.) Well this little chicken was having a bad day. She woke up on the wrong side of the bed, because she worried all night about rising inflation and soaring gas prices. There was no morning coffee … Continue reading The sky is falling!

Ants in your pants
That's right folks, it is time for another adventure from the ranch! When we got our property, it was overrun with thistles. That first summer it was an everyday job to spray them with weed killer, made specially for them. We had pump up sprayers that you put the weed killer in, mix with water, … Continue reading Ants in your pants
Hands off!
A turtle walks into a bar, but the owner grabs it and throws it out. It came back five months later and yells, “Get your hands off me!” The phrase hands off implies the establishing of boundaries. It is behavior characterized by non-intervention and non-interference. My word for this year is Freedom. I am working … Continue reading Hands off!

Instead, my trusty shovel and I are moving snow from one pile to another. Here's a haiku I wrote for … Continue reading Reel it in!
You’ve been served!
I am hereby serving you, (you know who or what you are) an eviction notice. You are to vacate my brain immediately and never return. Take all your junk with you; I don't need it anymore. You have occupied a space in my head for far too long. You are not paying me rent, and … Continue reading You’ve been served!
Cabana Boy
Hi. You've reached my machine. I'm unavailable to take your call right now, because I won the lottery and am sitting on a beach. “Oh cabana boy, please bring me another refreshing beverage and massage my feet.” My husband and I joke this would be the outgoing message at my office if we ever won … Continue reading Cabana Boy
