Cake For February’s C-D prompt, my choice is to write about a band I’ve written about several times and apparently can’t seem to get enough of: Cake. When my younger son went away to college, he rode with his high school buddy. The buddy loved Cake so my son was force-fed cake for 3 years…

PHOTO PROMPT © Peter Abbey The Last Blue Whale Dawn’s boardwalk gate opening brought clumps of gawkers, who walked en masse the hundred steps to Observation Station. Some spoke; most didn’t.

Spring is wiggling its way…
It was sunny part of yesterday, and at 5:27p.m., it is still light out AND it was sunny all day today. First are pics taken inside of the African Violet (above) and the rosemary in bloom in the atrium. Next, are a couple of the prickly pear cactus plant. I believe every one of the…
