The simplicity of my day to day. |
This is where I write my thoughts, feelings and my daily trials, tribulations and happy things

Prompt: “The word ‘equinox’ simply means ‘of equal length’ and refers to the twelve hours of daylight and twelve hours of darkness at this point in the year. It was originally thought to stem from two Latin words aequus meaning equal and nox meaning night. What are your plans for the fall or spring depending on where you reside? We’re in the season of spring here in Australia. The winter has been very wet and cold and everyone is pleased to the end of it. The spring sunshine has put a spring in my step, maybe that’s why it’s called spring! What shall I do with the extra energy? Well the garden beckons me to come outside and tidy it up. How I wish I could physically do more than plant some annuals in pots. If I were able I’d climb ladders and hard prune so many shrubs and trees, they certainly need it, but my husband thinks all greenery is good and should be left alone. We rarely agree on anything, how we’ve stayed married for sixty years is a mystery. I feel as if I would like to spring-clean the house, declutter, throw away stuff we never use, paint rooms, use bright colours and go a little crazy. But my body is letting me down and I won’t allow my husband at 82 to climb ladders any more, so that’s that. Maybe I’ll use my brain more instead and write amazing stories. |
