This week’s picture was taken from my back door. In the dark you can make out my deck with it’s white deck lights. Trees are silhouetted against a bright sunset. This was taken in December so there are no leaves on the trees.

Words that Don’t Particularly Count: 100

EXPRESSIONLESS

I stare at the screen. I only have a hundred words to write. A complete story—beginning, middle and end. You’d think this would be easy. It’s my stunning sunset picture, after all.   

I’m drawing a blank. Hey, Google, where did that expression come from?  

“The phrase ‘draw a blank’ dates back to the 16th century in Tudor England when Queen Elizabeth ran a lottery for the people.” One drew either a prize or a blank piece of paper.

Synonyms include zone out, be stumped, come up empty, or be at a loss.

Yep. That’s my story in a nutshell

Occasionally we all draw blanks. Here’s a similar story from September 2022.

No particular reason for this video. I just like it. 😉
