Rated: 13+ · Book · Personal · #1311011
A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life.
Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes.

Ferry boat between Solvorn and Ornes across the Lustrafjord i Sogn og Fjordane.




I'm starting a new blog because
BOOK
L'aura del Campo  (13+)
Online journal capturing the moment and the memory of moments. A meadow meditation.
#982524 by Kåre Enga in Montana
had over 1,200 entries and that was getting close to full. I don't want to trim it by deletion. I did that once, much to my dismay. Will be used more for poetry.

BOOK
Hoarfrosts from Hell  (GC)
Anything I'm not happy about or that I don't want in my main blog!
#997339 by Kåre Enga in Montana
is still hidden from the public and will remain so. It's more personal and full of angst. Was used for 30DBC for May 2020 and now used for Blogville.

BOOK
Enga mellom fjella  (13+)
Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills.
#1317094 by Kåre Enga in Montana
was full... until the number of entries was increased. A mixed blog, mostly stories.

I'll be linking to

is for my opinions. *Laugh*

BOOK
Nurture your Nature  (13+)
Look around. Let Nature nurture your Soul. I record images I sense and share them here.
#1439094 by Kåre Enga in Montana
was set up for nature observations and musings.

 
BOOK
Watt's Gnus  (18+)
On topics and today's gnus. Definitely opinionated. Set to 18+ for a reason.
#1439092 by Kåre Enga in Montana
come out of a need to share interesting stuff I come across. When I was young I did a small newsletter named as such. (or was it column in the newsletter? Been 30 years... I think.)

 
FOLDER
Flash Fiction  (GC)
Short 300 word, more or less, "stories" .
#2190336 by Kåre Enga in Montana
is where I put my flash fictions. Maybe someday I'll figure it out and have enough good ones to publish. Ratings vary and some are hidden from view.

I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
STATIC
Space Cadet - the never ending journal  (18+)

I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.
 
FOLDER
Conquest ... to keep track of contests  (18+)
A place to keep track of in progress works and up-coming deadlines as well as any awards.

Where bloggers meet and greet to read and share. No required prompt. Alias: blogville.
#2253938 by Kåre Enga in Montana
is for posting personal blog entries in hope that folks will comment and post their blog entries there as well. I will be commenting on all blog entries posted. It's my effort to rebuild a blogging community.

*Poseyv* 13 *Wind*

Up by 06:40. Must've slept okay.

Cool breezy day forecast but a couple rays peeking over Mt. Jumbo when I got up. 48°F.

Lupine and iris in bloom.

This is the last week of spring? It may get toasty Thursday and Friday, but otherwise cool.

When you walk through a storm keep your head up high. When you crawl through a window pray your pants don't tear (or... your ass don't show)... *Music1*

Pull-pork for lunch was good. Saw Mary and her husband Ron. Later, sat with Monte and Bob.

Watched the Congressional hearings this morning. Talking to Bob (age 91, a former minister) I mentioned that Trump was amoral; he agreed. Monte added "no moral compass". I do believe that's worse than immoral.

Looked up all the tropes for "Journalistic Intentions.

Wrote: "Not in Kansas anymore [179.30] 195 words

Wrote: "The moss covered mountains of Kansas

Predicted to be cold and rainy, possible snow in the mountains, flood threat in the valleys.

*Flagb* 14 *Snow3*

Snow on the mountains on a cold breezy Flag Day.

I had the fan on all night as my place gets stale and stuffy. It's oddly cool cold inside. Had to put more clothes on to keep warm.

Made 'something' by mixing ricotta, corn-flour, plum jelly, egg, oil, baking powder, water, cardamom ... and baking. A sweet corn bread? Maybe...

Finished editing "Serenade to Odin's Day and submitted it to Shadows and Light. Submitted an 'old' poem "After oolong tea to Test Your Poetry. Both contests have a 14th of the month cut-off date.

Gasoline rises to $4.98/gallon.

*Owl2* 15 *Sun*

Supposed to be sunny today and warm up... 49 degrees at 8 a.m. I was up at 7!

The Yellowstone floods are due to a massive June snowfall followed by warm rain and rapid melting. It's been damp here and there's snow in the mountains; and yes, the river is rising. I look out at it every day. Flood watches have been posted.

Personally... I do need to travel a.s.a.p. Staying home isn't healthy. I've been back 4 weeks.

I don't have a crystal ball. I was thinking about a kind message sent to me by Shadow Prowler-Spreading Love. If I would've gotten an RV and a cat and a dog in March of 2020 I would've done better during the Century of Covid. But I didn't.

My houseplants did mostly okay whilst I was in residence. A couple croaked whilst I was gone for a month. *Sad* The geraniums pouted but stiff upper lip as their petals would say.

I shopped today. No Brit 'food' just cheap vittles. Spent about $18.

I thought about Schnujo is Late to Lannister *Heartv* and her merit-badge contest. She's trying to encourage 'heart-felt' messages. I guess I didn't fully understand what she's trying to accomplish. When I sent out a fistful of badges in November each one had a personal comment of awe and/or encouragement. So... I didn't realise that others weren't already doing that.

Sat and chatted with my neighbor Birgit. I need interaction with people on a regular basis.

*Grass* 16 🌕

Up after midnight. May reach 86 degrees today. *melt*

Sat with Angie and Billie Jo. Skipped lunch. Ate two mustard-pork-burgers at home.

Took two hour nap in the afternoon as I was chilled to the bone. Now at 6 p.m. it's 83 degrees outside. Sipping coffee. Waiting for rice to cook.

🏵️ 17 *Sun*

85°F = 29°C at 2 pm. It may go up a couple degrees but lovely summer day. Tomorrow it goes back to cool and rainy.

Beef stroganoff for lunch. The meat was a tad tough.

Nice chat with Dalton, Fred, Phil, Don, Maureen and Bill.

I got up after 11... very late.

🟠 Orioles won 1-0. Trying to get to .500.

Finished "🇵🇹 Didya see my butt sticking out da window?

Someone was moving furniture at 4 a.m. ... or so I thought until I saw flashes before my eyes.

Email notice reminded me to renew my books. There is that...

Coffee = the breakfast of wannabe champions.

Too much sugar ... and now it rains. A real downpour! Rare in Missoula.

I told Gary Lundy that he was drinking the evil brew. He said it was an Americano. Ah... a cup full of conspiracy.

Nap. Now coffee and a burger. Saw that the futon is gone. I'm relieved. Hope it found a good home.

Up by 9 a.m.

Feeling somehow diminished today. I just need to work my mind around that.

Before-trip/during-trip/after-trip/now:

Anxiety: 8 / 6 / 4 / 4 but up and down
Depression: 8 / 5 / 4 / 5 on the rise
Mental: 4 / 5 / 5 / 5 steady
Physical: 2 / 5 / 6 / 4 slipping again
Emotion: 2 / 5 / 6 / 5 mostly apathetic

Just ate a peanut-butter & plum jelly sandwich without tasting it. Not a good start to the day.

Damp, dreary day. 57 degrees at noon.

Saw Drew. Did wash. Forgot to hang it up when I got home. Hung and drying now.

Finished: "Once on Lois Lane [33] (300 words) *Ribbonb* and incorporated it into "And I'm the Prince of Poetry and Prose.
