  So much for a wordless post. I’m not ashamed.
  
  The strawberries are from a local grocery store. They were some of the best I’ve ever eaten. The ducks are in the back of the apartment building where I lived before here. A neighbor decorates the area every year. She had more flowers until the yard crew complained about her having too many plants and pots to cut around, so the manager asked her to remove some. The pretty indoor plant with marigolds is a gift from my youngest son and daughter-in-law at Easter. Now bugs are taking it over. How dare them!
  
  Wishing you all a beautiful day!

  I love this dog sculpture.
  
  Ahh, Love!
  
  Part of the nose and tail broke off.
  
  Thanks for visiting. Enjoy your day!

  Hey, all. I’ve been absent here, but I’m still alive. I guess I ran out of things to say. 🤔 These images are from one of my “up north” cousins and used with his permission. Next week I’ll try to post ice sculpture pictures I took a couple of weeks ago. By the way, if the fountain is familiar, it’s because I posted a similar picture of it last winter.
  
  I hope you’re all having fun. Apologies for neglecting your blogs, too. Stay safe. Thanks for visiting.

- Wordless Wednesday: Before the Snowstorm

  I must share this #WordlessWednesday post with words.
  
  I posted this on Facebook yesterday, so maybe you saw it. A couple feet of snow are expected over the next two days. I only needed a few items at the store yesterday because I recently shopped but if snowed in, it’s things I’d want. As soon as I pulled into the parking lot around ten-thirty a.m., I knew I should have arrived earlier. Time went by fast, and at one point, a new lane must’ve opened because we moved up about five people. Here are some things I heard referring to the long lines while waiting in a long line:
  - Holy moly!
  - Thank God for the snow (meant to be snarky).
  - What a day!
  - Honey, it’s the first of the month.
  - Excuse me, but the line starts back there!
  Everybody seemed patient and friendly. The gas station wasn’t much better on my way to the store. I had a half tank, so I wasn’t desperate. On the way home, I pulled up to one of two empty pumps and filled my tank. My son told me it looks like old times when people rushed out at the last minute before a storm. It’s true, but mainly the stores are short of help.
  
  Of course, I’m not comparing this to the bomb cyclone that dropped thirty inches in Massachusetts over the weekend. I’m just stating that we’re next to get a major winter storm according to state police and local forecasters.
  
  Thanks for reading. ~MJ

  This first picture was along the road on my walk the other day. The wind made it hard to focus.
  
  In our old backyard.
  
  Beauty in everything
  
  One man’s trash…

- #WordlessWednesday Right Place-Right Time
  
  Posted at 6:11 pm by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on June 9, 2021
  
  If you look real close, you’ll see the rest of the family off in the distance. I guess this one needed a break away from the kids.
  
  Last weekend I took a stroll over to a small lake near where I live. The swans swam as a family to about the middle of the lake. It looked so cute to see them floating with one adult in the front and the other behind the young ones. The swan in the rear came to where you see it in the cove. Maybe it found a fish to take back to them. Have a great rest of your week.

  This Wordless Wednesday post isn’t wordless. I haven’t written in my blog in so long, it deserves, and craves, some words.
  It’s obvious I didn’t take the time to crop four of these. I’m not trying to showcase the parking lot or vehicle. I think it’s called lazy. This is the “turkey path” as I call it.
  
  As many as ten turkeys appeared the day I took these pictures. They didn’t seem to be in a hurry and gradually disappeared around the building or into the woodlands. Since early spring, I have only seen one strolling around alone. I don’t know if it’s male or female, but one of them probably sits on the nest while the other searches for food. Curiosity drove me to research this stuff. 😉
  
  Yesterday, I happened to glance out the window to see one lone young turkey run across the parking lot as fast as its little legs would go. I’m sure I missed the others as this little one tried to catch up with the family. It reminded me of the Roadrunner running from Wile E. Coyote.
  
  I hope you’re all doing well. Me? I’m hanging in here and have a book almost ready for the editor. I’m in the last round of a self-edit before sending it off. I’m close to writing the end on another one, which is a new setting for me and took a lot of research. So, back to my writing cave… Thank goodness I have my characters to talk to because it’s getting lonely in here. My apologies for not visiting your blogs. One day… One day I will catch up. For now, I kind of need the break. I miss you all.

- #WordlessWednesday: Fog and Ice

  Early foggy morning in April.
  
  After the fog cleared, trees covered in ice showed in the distance.

- #WordlessWednesday “Up North”
  
  Posted at 11:22 am by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on February 10, 2021
  Mackinaw City, Michigan February 9, 2021. Lower peninsula. Images captured by my cousin, Larry. Thanks cuz! Top Photo: Mackinac Bridge. Center: Sculpture of a fountain with running water. Bottom: Blue ice building up along the coastline.
  
  Unashamed of self-promo today, I’m sticking in a plug for one of my books that takes place “Up north.” This book is actually dedicated to Larry and his family. Imagine Jude, Terra, and their kids viewing this in Secret Santa’s Rundown Sleigh: A Holiday Romance Novella. A heartwarming two-hour read. Carry on!
  
  So much for #WordlessWednesdy, huh? Thanks for visiting today. 😃

  I took these earlier this fall. Snow is on the ground today, but at least the sun is shining.
  
  Thanks for taking the time to view.
