Elizabeth, how I loved you laugh at the end of your post!

I can just see you dancing around your church courtyard with your famous witch broom!

I really enjoyed your whimsical writing!

Thank you for introducing me to your friend. She is such a character! I especially love the mysterious detail of the tangle of human hair.

And of course I am curious about Rules 1 &2. But also appreciating the mystery.

Rules 1 and 2 may get spelled out someday. And wait until we get to Rule 4 ... !

Thanks so much for reading, Melanie. I'm glad you enjoyed meeting my friend. (No clue about that hair-tangle. I think she must get Up To stuff when she has the shed and courtyard to herself.)

Love this Elizabeth! Bringing this lovely broom to light with a personality is such a lighthearted way for the rest of us to look at our chores, and life in general, in a different light. The ending about her pagan leanings is the best, I'm sure I can see your beloved broom smiling from here!

She has a feral, friendly smile to be sure! So glad you enjoyed being introduced to her, Donna. 💛🌿

I can't do everything, but I can do something -- like, give Margaret Ann a poem to smile about! You are on-beyond welcome. 💛🌿

Love Rule #3! I will borrow if I may. Yes, my curiosity is piqued about rules 1 & 2.

My own basic rule is this: Look at what you have instead of what you don’t have.
