    Hmm... gonna have to cook up something, I suppose.

  10. I love this prompt, yet couldn't find a way to end my story. I suppose I am too sleepy.

  11. A brooding picture, but I hope that's a welcome light in the window...

  17. Lovely picture, great prompt! I enjoyed this, not my usual style but I looked at the picture and that's what wanted to be written! ;-)

  18. I love this place - a real doll's house. The old fella deserted his family and tropical island - turned up at night, hope that's OK.

  19. Brigid, don't worry, I'll fix your 11/12 thing!

    Leo, yes, it's the back porch at Willow Manor.

  24. Enjoyed this week's prompt and the imaginary visit to this beautiful place. Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  25. What an inspiring photo! I cant wait to write about it. How do so many people just whip something out in a day's time like its no big deal? What talent found here!

    ReplyDelete
  26. This picture brought all sorts of ideas to mind. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  27. What a wonderful picture you've given us this week.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I've always been prone to contrive scenerios of lives behind the windows of houses as I pass. Maybe that is because I moved around so much both as a child and an adult.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Okay, girls are allowed to change their minds, right? I didn't see this cool bird background last week when I was redecorating. I think it's perfect for Magpie. If you don't like it, hey, don't worry. I change things around. A lot.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Willow - I was unaware of the history of Willow Manor or the river close by. So, yes it is very strange! How my poem ended... Was unaware at the start of where the feeling your picture evoked would take me.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Thanks, Willow...I find fun in everything!!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Oh so beautiful!
    I look forward to doing something with this!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I really enjoyed writing this one !

  34. Hello everyone. This is my first time here and I'm excited to join you. There are so many posts and I am sure I'll be inspired (and intimidated, which is why I didn't read any of your work before posting mine!).

    ReplyDelete
  35. Come on, people, please link to the magpie, not just your blog's main page. Pleeease?

    ReplyDelete
  36. I do the same as Lydia....I don't read anyone's work until mine is finished. I like to start with a totally clean slate and let the ideas fall out of those rusty filing cabinets in my mind. BTW, I love this photo.

    ReplyDelete
  37. alright i am up! happy weekend everyone!

    ReplyDelete
  38. I forgot to leave a linky at the bottom of my story!! Oh NOooooo. Which has been taken care of now.

    If I read the other submissions before writing my own, I would be too timid to attempt it, so I start writing long before I even SEE the photo!!

    I believe that every good story works with any good photo! All art relates in the end!!

    ReplyDelete
  39. What a great picture Hope you all enjoy my tale.

    Now I can start to read and enjoy what everyone else has written

  40. nothing better than a summer garden for inspration

    ReplyDelete
  41. Oh, this place just begs for a story! I'm going to let my thoughts brew for a while. This mag seems really popular... 60 participants by Saturday. Must be an inspiring prompt!

    ReplyDelete
  42. A house represents so many thoughts and emotions...great prompt Willow! :-)

  47. Beautiful, beautiful photo, Willow. It was indeed inspiring. Thanks!

  48. This is my first try at a Magpie Tale. Thank you Willow, and one of the best parts is reading all of the different creative voices who tell such different tales in stories and poetic verse. Thank you.

  49. This is a very inspiring photo, Willow. So I’m in with A Wee Cottage in the Wood.

  50. Hi Willow,
    You've induced a cool canopy of memories.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I was reminded of my recent visit to my childhood home. How tiny, and old, and dilapidated it now looks. Sometimes you really can't go back!

  52. PS: Not to say the photo of THIS home is tiny, old, and dilapidated!!
    ;)

  53. Late to the party, I see most of the food is gone, most guests have left. I've had a mental flat tire and wasn't sure I'd make it.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I ended up getting a bit away from the actual picture. I guess I just have a taste for the rundown.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Hi I'm finally here!

  56. I'm in! Looking forward to some magpie tales!

    ReplyDelete
  57. This wasn't as easy as I first thought when I saw the picture...but I love a challenge.

    ReplyDelete

    Have a great week ahead!!!

  59. I'm so sorry for being late with my first Magpie Tale. I have been following for a while now and this one particularly caught my eye, reminding me of a visit I made in the early 90's.

  60. My Magpie Tale is a little late too, but I loved the picture you chose and couldn't pass it up, late or not. Thanks for the fun.

  62. Willow- Glad the moon is working in your favor! Thanks for the lovely prompt.

  63. Hey, no problem, late posters! Jump on in, the water's fine! The only problem with posting late, is that you might not get the number of readers your post deserves. Better late than never, I always say!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Home from a lovely week in northern Minnesota! Good to know late posters are welcome. Comments are (thankfully) not the reason I write ... I love the challenge and the way you force my brain to work. ps ... I don't consider myself a writer and feel privileged to be part of this!
