Friday Funnies; ‘Cause It’s My Anniversary & I Can Fun If I Want To

Posted on March 15, 2019 by Blog Woman!!!

It’s getting close to that green time of year again, and by green, I mean green beer, green rivers, green paraphernalia of assorted insanity, and oh yeah, Spring.

It’s also my 6th year of using this platform to assuage my compulsions to opine and write, which for some reason I decided to launch on March 17th. Maybe it was after a couple green beers; I don’t know, but here I still am. I remain absolutely grateful to those who follow and especially so for those who have stuck around all this time. I couldn’t be more thankful for your support, wisdom and kindnesses through every bump and grind I’ve written about, and in sharing a laugh or two. I hope today’s merry mirth wins a smile from you too…

What? You’ve never seen a coyotree before? (If you want to see a canine pick apples, video here )

Ooooh, if only I had known to ask for specifics….

That lamp looks pissed

I honestly don’t know what to say about this life-size crocheted replica of a woman and her dog… Do you hang it over your fireplace mantle?

Every woman I’ve ever known…

I need this guy.

Beat this, Jenny Craig!

Ah, to hell with it; cut wherever you want

Musical interlude:

Yup, we could say, Baby got back.

Happy weekend, all. May the road not meet your face too quickly on Sunday.

Phoetic February: Missing You

Posted on February 22, 2019 by Blog Woman!!!

February 14th was changed forever for Indigenous communities 28 years ago. While we still share in acknowledging and celebrating love, we also use the day to recognize and memorialize our mothers, daughters, sisters, cousins, aunties and grandmothers lost to us inexplicably and/or violently.

We memorialize them in a march through town and city streets to remind all of those still missing and that despite calls for justice and formal inquiries, we have yet to receive any for those murdered. It’s a national disgrace that, as Indigenous women, we remain the most vulnerable demographic in all colonized countries.

A million smiles
Crossed our hearts before goodbyes
Home longingly waits

My cousin, Roberta Marie Ferguson, age 19 yrs, missing since August 24, 1988

Phoetic February: Wooden Larceny

Remember that time
You trimmed the thickened branches
A hostage was claimed

Little game of tit for tat
Forgotten loss; willow’s gain

Phoetic February: Sunday Moody Sundays

Posted on February 8, 2019 by Blog Woman!!!

It’s been about a month’s worth of thoughtful weekly beginnings. Something in the air… change, newness, the call of Spring? I don’t know. I do know each one gave me something personal; something not quite typical…

Heralding Hues

Waning assurance?
Maybe merely fine-tuning
Imminent promise

Moonstruck

Reverent howling
Eerie, the Blood Wolf Moon Eve
Neighbourhood braced

Sunday SoftlySunday night refuge
Musical libations soothe
Under homemade stars

Singing Our Lives With His WordsSong flows like whiskey
Tenderly trickling around
Fading memories

Friday Funnies; ‘Cause We Forgot We Still Even Humour!

Posted on November 23, 2018 by Blog Woman!!!

HOLY, bustling blow-up busy months, Batman! There’s barely been time to find a funny, let alone share. So, can we agree it’s about bloodish meme time, even if it looks like we’re gonna to have to take whatever we can get?
