A windy and rainy day here on my little mountain
A large hot chocolate with mini marshmallows will be greatly appreciated
I went and read to Scamps littlest fans. They were awful wiggly today so it was like herding cats to get them to settle down
I have cookies today...
They are : pink sugar cookies, red sugar cookies, pumpkin cookies, ginger snaps and angel kiss cookies
*filling the cookie jar and giving the adorable mascots fresh water and treats *
Hope everyone is having a great Sunday. As for me I'm ready for a nap.

Morning, y'all. Yes, it's another Monday but as the football coaches all shout, "When the going gets tough, the tough look forward to Tuesday.

While you're waiting for that blessed midnight hour, take a look at the 'Love & Affection Challenge' Gypsey has gotten going. No deadline, no prizes, nothing to do but write something between 140 and 1400 words in a story that mentions something along the lines of: love, affection, chocolate, flowers and post it for the throng of Spacers eager to heap praise on your poetry or prose.

Gypsey has posted a list of those who have taken on the challenge on the 'Prompts and Challenges' forum.

warning: my entry 'Buck's Bucks isn't very good but at under 700 words, at least it ain't that long.

Coffee's on. (slurp) Not that bad if I do say so myself. Cookie, cookie, where are dem cookies? ;)
Well, my doctor has called in sick at his office so I guess I won't be seeing him today. Time to have some coffee and simply contemplate life. Oh, first I'll go over and read Bill's new challenge entry.

Tea ... must ... have ... tea. No challenge entry from the ape yet but I may give it a shot this week. I have kind of given up on some other writing projects for other sites so maybe I can focus on it.

Sonja did not have a cat. So why was this one making itself at home in her house?

The metal singer made Brenda an interesting offer, but was her interest in the music ... or him?

Late drop in.
Today got turned upside down (lol). Was suppose to have court (it got postponed) nothing major. But I knew it was going to be postponed because my attorney had a death in his family.
So I don't have a wide range of cookies for tonight. You get chocolate chip and gingerbread cookies.

Hope everyone survives Monday !

Morning to all giving or seeking Inspirations. Coffee's on and seems downright potable. Many thanks to Sara for the cookies. Chocolate chip are a mainstay of western civilization, imo. ;)

Also thanks to those who voted and commented on my 'Challenge' entry, 'Buck's Bucks'. There may be something finer that getting a thumbs up or two from fellow writers, but with the exception of the aforementioned, chocolate chip cookies, it beats me what that might be.

Y'all keep on keeping on.

* puts on kettle and scarfs some gingerbread *

How's life in the rest of the world. We are looking at February going out like a lion here. No word on March's arrival though.

It's been lovely the last few days, though, at least by the dubious standards of February in Southwestern Ontario.

Rump, I started yours but got drawn away. Will hopefully get to it today. Mine ended up kind of ... meh. So back to the drawing board.

Hunkering down as a winter storm approaches. Not sure how bad it will get, but it should be in force by evening rush hour here so evening commute may not be much fun. May just crash by the Inspirations fireplace with a tea.

Kettle is on for tea and hot chocolate, coffee is brewing, and mini marshmallows are restocked.

Good morning, Scott. Thanks for the coffee. No bad weather here, yet. Simply cold today.

I took Victor out to a nature area the other day. Actually it is a hunting area next to a state park but it is open to the public. We hadn't walked in that place before. It's good to find new landscapes to explore. We parked in a small parking area just off the main paved highway and walked in. We were the only car there.

After walking in the woods, along a stream, and then across some fallow croplands we started back to the car. In the distance, I could see that another vehicle was parked in the lot near our car. We approached and as we came up over a rise, through the grasses, Victor was able to see the parking lot. He saw the stranger's vehicle. Immediately he bayed like a hound, our little terrier. That is his signal that a monster is there. It is his sign that he is on the job and no monsters may harm us.

Needless to say, we were fine and could head back home.

* pulls another couch over to fireplace *

There, room for both.

Thanks for the coffee, Bill. I'll have one cup and then I'm off for a doctor's appointment. Maybe I can get some closure on various aches and pains that are bothering me.

Good morning. Speaking of aches and pains, I shoveled last evening and again before going to work this morning. IOW, winter is back in Southwestern Ontario. Let's see how long it lasts this time.

Kettle is on for tea and ... oooo, pecan divines.

*filling empty cookie jars with chocolate chip cookies. Butterscotch marshmallow bar cookies.chocolate pecan bar cookies, cocoa snaps and ginger snaps *
Quiet day here hopefully I'll get something written today.
I hope everyone is having a great day.
Happy Thursday folks

My Competition Story : 💜 Milly's Adventure https://www.storiesspace.com/stories/childrens/millys-adventure-2

Such a diversity of cookies, it's getting hard to choose. Butterscotch marshmallow bar sounds good, though.

We survived the return of winter (actually, the storm didn't hit my city that hard, really). Now the weekend looms. No real big plans. Maybe start work on my taxes.

Kettle's on, coffee's brewing. I'm drinking Earl Grey.

Hello, Scott. Looks like the coffee is ready. Such a lovely day later on today. Chilly right now but this afternoon is walking weather.

A bit chilly for walking here but I know dogs don't seem to see things the same way we do. My old beagle Bowser (RIP) used to go rooting in snowbanks with his snout in weather that was turning my extremities blue.

A large hot chocolate with a little bit of coffee would be great it's been a slow moving day.. Woke up way too early
Happy Friday

It's Leap Year Day (Feb. 29th) Spacers with a long-term memory might recall the days of 'Lil Abner and Sadie Hawkins Day'. If you are not among that crowd, congratulations and pull up an image of two of Daisy Mae and moonbeam McSween to learn what you missed, sorta.

Coffee's on and it ain't bad. Somebody left a half empty box of doughnut holes on the counter. jThe two or three I tried seemed okay, I think.

Y'all have a good day the Inspirations way. ;)
Al Capp was pretty deft at creating his comic strip. Bordering on softcore porn. But as a young lad, I enjoyed it immensely. And I read it mostly for the humor.

I do believe some of our members are sneaking in our coffee house during the dark hours and making off with more than their fair share of Sara's edible treats and delights. We are lucky in that she will make more and refill the jars this afternoon.

By the way, the coffee is good.

howdy folks
A large sweet tea pretty please.
Sun is peeking out here on my little mountain.
Today is a slow day here hope to get some writing done.
Cookie bandits are on the loose
I have cookies : chocolate chip, ginger snaps, pumpkin cookies and peanut butter with banana cookies

Shovelled, shopped, got some of my taxes done. Still missing some slips but the deadline to send them was yesterday so some may still be en route.

I think I shall have a pumpkin cookies with my green tea.

Morning all! I'm at a dancing weekend here and have made it through two evening parties and a full day of workshops. Just one more day of workshops to go before I stagger home this evening and collapse in a heap!

I'll get the coffee going and snag one of Sara's biccies while I'm at it! smile
It's always great to be exhausted from doing what one enjoys doing. Dancing must be pure joy for you, Cynthia.

Thanks for the coffee. It smells great.
