Expectations

by Evelyn Rainey

Expect it to hurt like Hell.

You will heal.

Expect it to be messy.

You will wash.

Expect your heart to be broken.

You will find love again.

Expect your body to die.

Your soul is eternal.

History is changed so often by so few.

There's a Hole in My Foodbot

To the tune of There’s a Hole in my Bucket

There’s a hole in my foodbot, Salt Yarrow, Salt Yarrow

There’s a hole in my foodbot, Salt Yarrow, a hole!

Well fix it First Chief, First Chief, First Chief.

Well fix it First Chief, First Chief fix it!

With what shall I fix it, Salt Yarrow, Salt Yarrow?

With what shall I fix it, Salt Yarrow, with what?

With a tyndale First Chief, First Chief, First Chief.

With a tyndale First Chief, First Chief a tyndale.

(the tyndale was too weak to do the job, so it needed a battery, which was in the storeroom but the storeroom was locked and the captain had the key.But the captain was on shore leave, and on and on.)

It’s too weak

Well juice it

With what

A battery

Don’t have one

Then get one

Where is one

In the storeroom

It’s locked

Unlock it

With what

With a key

Don’t got one

Then get one

From where

The captain

He’s dirtside

Go find him

In what

A shuttle

Can’t fly one

I’ll fly one

Where will we find him

In a tavern

Doing what

Drinking whiskey

Simple Sand

by Evelyn Rainey

Sometimes you feel insignificant

Unable to change things

Common

Simple

Like a grain of sand in a vast desert.

We are grains of sand

The ones

God promised to Abraham

Thousands of years ago.

And millions of grains of sand

Make a mountain

And mountains

Can be moved by faith.

And faith comes by hearing the word of God

Which I know is in your heart.

She was a young world, as worlds go.  An untainted world, fresh, whose magic was still strong.

Bedina's War Chapter 1



Actually, you'll have to click here.  LOL

Comfort publishing is incredible!  I am so very honored to be one of their authors. (They also published my first book - Minna Pegeen.)  Reed Karriker has set up the website for my book.  The button above is "stolen" from that page, as is the link to the first chapter.  There are links to Amazon and Barnes&Noble as well as my social networks.  Let me know what you think of the page and the first chapter. 

And you know -- I'll be delighted to autograph a copy for you!

Raining Frogs!

About a month ago, just as my summer vacation began, I bought an 8 foot pool for Daisy - who loves to swim!  She enjoyed it for two days, but the morning of the third day, the surface was covered in little black round balls -- frog eggs.

Daisy continued enjoying her pond, and the eggs soon hatched  into little tiny tadpoles.

I fed them lettuce (they liked the Spring Mix) and store-bought fish food (pond sticks). 
Tomato slices and veggie parts were also consumed with joy and vigor.

Took three weeks, but they formed back legs and REALLY ate!  Feeding frenzies each morning made me realize just how many tadpoles Daisy & I had -- probably about a thousand.  Look for yourself and decide!

What will we do when the grid falls? 

Do you know what hashtags are?  Nope, not those crunchy yummy fried things from potatoes we eat with scrambled eggs. 

My next book -- Bedina's War -- is coming out August 1, 2012.  A lot of you have already gotten copies -- thanks!!!

But along those lines, my great publishers (Comfort) have strongly encouraged me to start a Twitter account.
Well, done, but blindly so.  EvelynRainey 
Now I have to find time to post 3 - 5 times a week.  (My shingles came back at the thought!)  I'm a very busy person (too busy, according to many friends, relatives, and members of the medical profession). 
So I've figured out a method by which I spend an hour at a time and pre-post a whole bunch of things here on this blog (which I have neglected terribly since April - those of you who know me well know why).  And then I'll just log on to here three times a week and click the facebook and the twitter buttons and log back off. 
I'm supposed to retweet and comment on my followings and followers on tweet, so I'll figure out what the HECK that means - but not today.

Today I'm going to download all the pictures of my tadpoles and consequential frogs I have been raising this summer. THOUSANDS OF THEM!  It's been fascinating.  At first I thought they might be Cuban Tree Frogs - which is a bad thing - but now I know they are Southern Cricket Frogs.  Cutest little critters!  I'll be sharing pics! OOps, not frog-gigging picks!  Pictures!
