our backyard
Fresh flowers
Squirrel loving the nature’s leftovers in the planter. Funny to watch it nom nom on greenery.
Rains of golden leaves
Meeting the big deadline.
Errands with sweetheart.
Comfort food
Reading
Writing when not feeling it
you – What’s up?

This is What I Have to Say

November 7, 2024 Lisa Tomey-Zonneveld

This is what I have to say, today

The waves of blue as compared to a rampant red – raggedy one

Blasted to the world of need,

With a course toward peace with equality, freedom, real kingdom come

if you will

Disrupted by the red-robed rage

And strange bedfellows with real evil

if you will

as they Blast that red – white – quit claim on the blue – train

Powered up – down the track like a mad whistler

Ready to storm into the night, no doubt

with white lights powered by billionaires

Reflections on white hoods, only this time it’s different

Enslaved people are already numbered

There’s the take Back to the times when slaves hid

There’s plenty to Back-track do you remember and worse to go forward

Shots fired with no regrets Back then and Now it’s come Back

Mentally deranged leadership takes over and ruins the children

So, tell me now

This is what you wanted

Then step off my porch

I may not be able to whistle, nor even shout loud enough

For what it’s worth

My home is open to Peace, my brothers and sisters

Let’s go to the altar of humankind

Embrace one another

We never needed each other more

November 2, 2024 Lisa Tomey-Zonneveld

It’s TTOT time! I am writing this from my Thankful space at the school where our writers meet. We are having a Friendsgiving. Look at this:

This is Thankful #1! And I was able to get my stuff at Aldi’s. But…it’s not all mine! Nom nom…

#2 And I get BRAGGING RIGHTS!! My daughter is featured- along with the other new baristas on the upcoming released coffee can. Check it out!!

#3 Thankful that I get together on Friyays with other writers. It’s usually my manuscript reading day and I did that this week. I hung out with my sisterly friend Chanah and her doggy Asha and kitty Marmalade. I am thankful for friendship and doggy and kitty loves.

#4 I have a new TV show. It’s the new Matlock with Kathy Bates. She is my favorite actress, so naturally I had to check this out. It does not disappoint. It has interesting twists and who doesn’t enjoy Kathy!

#5 Stepping – I am working on my steps and it’s gradually taking hold. I discovered just how much I move, after using the tracker. It helps me feel better, just knowing.

#6 I enjoy what I do for an occupation.

#7 I voted and it only took 40 minutes in and out. We went on the first day.
