#WRITEPHOTO – Desk

Afternoon Everyone,

Welcome to the weekly #writephoto prompt!

I while away the hours

With my trusted quill

Writing by the candlelight

Perched upon my windowsill

Time to write, write, write.

#WRITEPHOTO – Ceiling by Jemima Pett

Is it time for the Master of Arts to hand over to the younger generation? Maybe, if the creaking is anything to go by. My poor back aches at the thought. Read more of this fun entry by Jemima.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. 

It was the best because he had a job, for which he might even get paid. Having a job was better than nothing. Nothing equalled painful, hungry, disgusting, and sometimes even dangerous.

It was the worst of times because he was lying on his back on flat wooden boards, twenty feet in the air, painting.

Do you think that was a good job? Lying on your back, hardly able to shift position, trying to do intricate details in the most marvellous impression of gaily dancing women surrounded by cavorting dogs … and the paint is dripping into your eyes, into your hair, up your nostrils and into worse parts.

Order…

“The world is not to be put in order. The world is order. It is for us to put ourselves in unison with this order.”

― Henry Miller

Henry rested his head in his hands. His crops had produced poor yields again. He’d bought the best quality seeds, and high-quality fertilizer, and followed every instruction to the letter, yet the outcome wasn’t great. He looked over his fence at old John’s plot. Row after row of large healthy looking plants stared back at him.

He packed up his tools and started to head for home, John joined him on the path. After the dutiful discussion about the weather, Henry glanced back down towards the two allotments.

“John, what’s your secret?” he plucked up the courage to ask him.

“To growing?”

“Yea.”

“Cow Sh*t, my lad. Cow Sh*t and Chicken Sh*t.”

“What?” Henry couldn’t keep the shock from his voice.

“Nature, my lad, does a better job than any of us could ever do. She knows already provides all the best solutions we just have to understand them. Manure is better for the soil than anything you can find in your fancy packets. Those books of yours don’t take into account what the weather doing each year, some years like this, it’s worth holding back and putting your crops out a little later, give them a little longer to stand the weather. Whatever your issues, nature usually has the answer. That’s what I’ve found.”

“Thanks John,” Henry said.

The two men stood at the end of the lane ready to part ways.

“One last thing before I go, lad,” John said. “We all have bad years, don’t be too hard on yourself. You will do better, I’m certain.”

“The world is not to be put in order. The world is order. It is for us to put ourselves in unison with this order.”

Tile Tales – Cycle

Cycle – By KL Caley – Nature Kit

A touch of spring spirit in today’s Tile Tales. Did you know: Mid-latitude animals born in spring have the best chance of survival. Tropical animals, where food is easily available all year round, are born during any season. For most middle latitude animals, it is a delicate balance between being born late enough to avoid the last snow storm and early enough to be well developed to face the rigors of fall and winter.

❔ Did you know that a group of rabbits in the UK is called a nest of rabbits. Whereas in Canada a group of rabbits is called a fluffle. Which one do you prefer?

#WRITEPHOTO – Ceiling by theinkwelljourney

Every dog owner knows how wise they can be, but it’s captured magnificently in this tale of gods and dogs by Pankaj Kumar

As I lay on the bed staring at the ceiling, I couldn’t help but marvel at the intricate carvings that adorned the plaster. The soft white color of the ceiling gave the room a serene ambiance, and the artistic carvings at the center were a testament to the skill of the craftsman who created them.

But my eyes were drawn to the painting in the center of the ceiling. It featured some gods surrounded by intricate details, and there were two dogs flanking them. The colors were vivid, and it seemed like the gods and dogs were alive and in motion.

A lovely conversation by Di.

Who would’ve thought we’d be famous. I told you the Master would include us in one of his masterpieces one day, and here we are.
Yes, here we are.
You don’t sound very enthusiastic.
Sorry. I can’t help it.
Just look at all those people below looking up at us in awe. Isn’t it wonderful?
