once upon a post

Every so often I think it's time to put the "closed" sign on this blog. 

After nearly seven years, what more is there to say. But it's no secret that I have a

 pretty active mind. I don't need to listen to the radio when I drive. 

Yesterday when I arrived at work I could barely remember the drive, 

I had so much I was thinking about.

So this is how it happens. I walk through the kitchen and spot my red onion.

 I love to leave these in full view and consider them a simple, cheap,

 and beautiful additon to my home decor.  What a pop of color.

My mind began to consider how the simple things in life can bring us 

such enjoyment.  Such as a red onion. 

"Now, that might make an interesting post. I'd at least love to take a few pictures." 

The camera is always nearby. I took no more than five minutes to take the pictures, 

off load them onto the computer, and then another five to "edit" them

 (make them look more beautiful.) As I did that I wondered why we 

get such a kick out of close-ups in photos of things we can enjoy close up by just 

leaning in closer to look at the actual thing. 

Maybe it's just me, but I do love those close-up shots!

I put the images to my desk top and let them settle there for a day or two. 

Meanwhile in a tiny corner cupboard of my mind, I considered 

what I might say with these photos.

Another day, after I finished with some other computer work, 

I took a "creative break" and switched over to Podso's dashboard to write this post. 

I left it there in draft to simmer for awhile and edit it a time or two. And here we are. 

I guess Podso is not closed down yet.

How do your posts work?
