Here in the wilds of central Massachusetts the daffodils, crocus, and the many tapped maple trees are heralding the advent of spring at last. Maple syrup season is upon us!! Of course, the weather is ignoring most of my wishes as warm, tantalizingly days with the thermometer tickling the low to mid-sixties are followed by chilly raw, windy days when we barely climb past the mid-forties... My new alarm clock, the return of the many songbirds, confirms the wonderful change of the seasons, and as I write this the sun is peeking over the horizon. I'm looking forward to the longer days as the sun's rays grow stronger. No longer to I have to content myself with basking behind my double-pane windows on a wintry afternoon. Scouring the yard to pick up the remains of winters debris of broken branches and windblown trash, mud season is arriving as the ground gives up its hoary frost. I nearly got the lawn tractor stuck pulling a trailer full of stuff for the leaf pile!! There's not much to complain about here, there's been an odd sighting or two of some black bears breaking their seasonal nap and much to look forward to as the days grow longer and warmer. Of course, that means as the trees begin to leaf out, the return of the black flies, mosquitos, and various and sundry other flying pests... Pancakes, french toast anyone, and be sure to pass the Maple Syrup!!

It should be a very interesting bonding/honeymoon trip, looking forward to see where they are going...

Norjia met her match and is she in any shape to take on the dragon???

Well, this was a confusing chapter not only as to who was who and what...but in any universe, a long island iced tea is one of the strongest cocktails around when ordered at a bar....

Nice to see The Foundation expanding and making its way in the world by branching out into various forms of aquaculture as well as agriculture!!! Multilingual houseboys, a very intriguing thought...of course some 'special' skills need no oral translation...

All's well that ends well, here's hoping that those who tossed the boys aside in the beginning get their just comeuppance!!!

There's no place like home...there's no place like...

An interesting beginning to ponder over...

Can't add anything to the comments above, they say it all...other than for me to say...

Well, that was an unexpected twist....

I found the premise to be very interesting... Childhood's End - Wikipedia

I'm rooting for Bart to find his happiness!!!

Oh boy, looks like a fun, for the most part as this is a Lee Wilson story....

Why wasn't Kareem not blessed??? And with that Khonsu placed his hand on Reginald’s head and blessed him. A glowing blue light encompasses him “Time is short I have come to do what I must do.” “Khonsu, could you bless my Alex and Omar please.” Khonsu told Reggie that he too could bless them.

Had to share the following I came across the other day... Hey there....those of us of a certain age may resemble that comment.... How about a vote or two for the Moody Blues????

Not everything is as it seems??? Time is of the essence if they are going to carry out their mission....Norjia needs to be with the rest of the group along with 'Planet Smasher'....

Looks like there's gonna be a hot time in the old castle tonight...All the key players are nearing the final positions for whatever the conflict brings!!!

A lovely chapter, I am curious about the cakes baking in Connecticut tho...

Like Claire, and in the other story, Brittany...Anduin simply cannot help himself, I have to think that both of the households' mistresses have to be in some manner or form, aware of his toxicity...he's reached his nadir and now, he's like a bad rash that simply won't go away... Danica should be very careful for what she is wishing for... Keria is a point of concern; she may want more than she should....

So sad and unnecessary, I wish for nothing but a planet wide extinction level calamity...it's time for nature to cleanse this befouled planet...

I'll show you mine @Lee Wilson...you show me yours... Younger days... m

One can only hope that Zdain's parents will soon be booked to the holiday camps in the far wintry north... The ice has been broken between the boys, and they have started talking...

The captain is doing a poor job of hiding his vulnerabilities...Would be nice to see a belaying pin lodged where the sun don't shine, and we all know he's bound to slip up in front of his crew...

A bit of foreshadowing???? I call it the Planet Smasher.”
