Smell the Roses
Posted: June 4, 2022 Filed under: Entertainment, Neighborhood Anecdotes (NYC) | Tags: Composting, dievca, Flowers, Hudson River, Hudson River Greenway, Life, Love, NYC, photo, roses 1 CommentAs dievca made her way to the composting area along the Hudson River there was a double blossom rosebush that gave off the most delightful of smells:
The composting guy has a passion for what he does and he explained the various plants grown by the volunteers to the Hudson Riverway Park. In return, dievca was able to share the breakdown of corn starch packing materials via composting –> Carbon Dioxide and Water…
Equals Happiness.

When we are young and gay;
We chased the bees and plucked the flowers,
In the merry, merry month of May.”

Like everyone…

There is a house to clear, a house to sell and work to complete. Money that was spent on a previous trips, so its not readily available. Add COVID restrictions. And a body that is showing the ravages of no time for workouts, stress and perimenopause. But, everyone has problems and everyone would like to disappear on Holiday – right?
dievca will just dream and push through~

Feeling the urge to ski~
Posted: January 8, 2022 Filed under: Entertainment, Musings, Vintage | Tags: BDSM, D/s, Desire, dievca, Life, Love, photo, retro, ski, snow, travel, Vacation, Winter Leave a commentIt seems like everyone dievca knows is skiing… In Upstate NY, a friend flew to Austria, another friend will be heading out to Tahoe, CA. How can dievca get on that train? She would really like to go to Banff or Whistler in Canada. Nah, probably not in the cards this year after that 3 week vacation out West.
But it would be really fun to go skiing!
Is anyone planning to ski any time soon?
Keep your head above the clouds!

And the Southwest squirted dievca back

Rain in Sedona, AZ – Taos, NM – Albuquerque, NM – Flagstaff, AZ squirted dievca back to the West Coast. Maybe dievca is a “rainmaker”. Those rains were mostly good soaking rains (except for Flagstaff), not enough to help with the drought, but better than nothing.
This afternoon should offer some sun. Stay cool, stay dry! XO

Hope in the City
Posted: May 21, 2021 Filed under: Entertainment, Neighborhood Anecdotes (NYC), Poetry | Tags: BDSM, beauty, D/s, dievca, Flowers, Hudson River, Joy, Life, NYC, photo, Spring Leave a comment
From the train
it’s a city of roses
and rose keepers,
bald men in spectacles
and torn shirts.
There are miles of roses
in Elizabeth, New Jersey,
backyard arbors
shadowed by refineries
and the turnpike,
jungles of scrap,
still brown water, and poisoned marsh.
None of this matters
to the rose keepers of Elizabeth.
From the backyards of row houses
they bring forth pink roses, yellow roses
and around a house on its own
green plot, a hedge of roses, in red and white.
Surely faith and charity
are fine, but the greatest of these
is roses.
