My go-to tea

April 30, 2022April 28, 2022 Writing Sparkle19 Comments

Cinnamon Rooibos Chai is my go-to tea. I love it. The loose leaf is a reddish-brown colour that looks like thousands of tiny wood splitters mixed with small brown chunks of bark. It is actually a delightful blend of cinnamon and apple. It smells exactly as I would expect it too. It’s a spicy and… Continue reading My go-to tea

Zee or zed?

April 30, 2022April 7, 2022 Writing Sparkle16 Comments

Is it a zee? Google says six-hundred and ninety-three words start with letter z. Z is one of the most challenging letters in April’s A to Z blog challenge. Zax, zeal, zero, and zoo. These were my letter z contestants for 2022. It’s the twenty-sixth letter of the alphabet. We create upper case Z and… Continue reading Zee or zed?

Year

April 29, 2022April 3, 2022 Writing Sparkle8 Comments

What is a year? It’s four seasons: spring, summer, fall and winter. We spread the four seasons over twelve months, marked by changes in weather and hours of daylight. It’s fifty-two weeks of the sun setting and three hundred and sixty-five mornings. In Canada, over the course of one year there are thirteen holidays: New… Continue reading Year

Waffle

April 27, 2022April 2, 2022 Writing Sparkle9 Comments

A sweet, cakey smell lingers in the air. The pleasantness of the smell conjures up the promise of fresh fruit, probably strawberries. There are also syrups, jams, whip cream, and French vanilla ice cream. Is it a breakfast food or a dessert? The yellowish batter is poured generously onto a hot waffle iron and sealed… Continue reading Waffle

Vacation

April 26, 2022April 2, 2022 Writing Sparkle10 Comments

A trip away from home, a break from the daily life. Maybe it’s the sound of tires and the sway of the trailer as the road stretches out before you. The radio playing, windows down, a breeze pulling smells of nature into the truck, and a hot travel coffee waiting for your attention in the… Continue reading Vacation

Toffee

Did it originate in England? Is it connected to tafia rum? I don’t know, but… Heated in the sun or warmed with your body, this sweet treat is chewy once softened and clings to the teeth. Typically, a small shaped soft brown candy made from sugar, butter, vanilla, and a pinch of salt boiled together.… Continue reading Toffee

Have you ever wondered what lives in potential darkness or obscurity? Shadow–The rays of light don’t reach into this space. It’s cooler in these spots of darkness.

April 21, 2022March 24, 2022 Writing Sparkle9 Comments

The coffee is rich, the sofa is comfy, and my blanket is warm. Let’s read. The solid weight of a thick book resting in my hand is a comforting presence. That unique book smell is faint as my eyes move over the inked letters on the pages. The pages themselves flip with ease allowing the… Continue reading Reading
