SOL 17/31 & Poetry Friday: Serendipity!

My pot of gold (not at the end of the rainbow) had flecks of red and green and was edible.
 

Costco run completed.

I shift items in freezer

and uncover buried treasure,

two monster cookies!

 

Red and green M&Ms reveal

a December provenance.

Three months later,

the sweet taste of Christmas lingers.

This is my eleventh year of participating in the March Slice of Life Story Challenge. This year I'll be mining my memories for stories to share.  


Sometimes, I participate in Poetry Friday. Our host for this week is Ruth who blogs at There is no such thing as a God-forsaken town.

  2. Ramona, oh the delight of finding a yummy treat.
    When I freeze my homemade cookies right away they last a long tie as long as big hands don't touch them. A tasty blessing came your way on St. Paddy's Day!

  12. I am laughing outloud at your joy in discovering a frozen treat! This past week, I returned to our cabin and found white chocolate toffees that, by some miracle, did not get consumed when we were last here!
