Just Ponderin’... on yawns from screams
Small round snowflakes float on air
Bouncing, Seuss-like, here... and there.
All the while the blue sky beams
And I dream of yawns replacing screams.
A snowy owl gazes down
From rooftops, outcrops east of town
O'er fields and streets and coves and streams
As I dream of yawns replacing screams.
Open ears and hearts (and mouths at pause)
Replacing cacophonies of cause
When we tire of casualties, extremes
And seize the moments when yawns...
Replace our screams.

About this blog:
celebrated its thirteenth anniversary in August of 2025 and (pinch us!) has thousands of followers from all around the world, including many who love and/or have connections to Maine. JoHn and I made a small island off of Boothbay Harbor our full-time home in 2017 and share our rennovated 200ish year-old home with a Second Hand Dog all the way from Oklahoma (Belle/Belle-ah/Princess Belle/Bella Louise (it goes on and on)). I’m thrilled to have Just Ponderin’ included in the Boothbay Register and Wiscasset Newspapers. Just Ponderin’ considers and celebrates the ordinary and extraordinary bits of everyday life.
