Killing me! I'm going to splurge and go with the newest big boy in town. Seamus Heaney!
Poems of Seamus Heaney. Wall of poetry! How does one choose 🤔

The End Times has arrived. I will make apple cake from the harvest gathering soon.
The End Times newspaper lies on a beige counter to be read shortly.

The said tarts.
Cranberry mincemeat tarts on a rack next to a cherry turnover thing I made with the leftover dough. Let's call it rustic.

These are the best I've ever seen, even when we lived in Winnipeg.
Light green bird shaped aurora over a house and trees lit by street light. A napoleon layered aurora, green, pink and more green over trees and a house in the distance.

In even better memories, this was the erasure poem from the poetry club I taught in the elementary school I worked at 9 years ago. The kids picked their fav words, and erased. Also when dabbing was the thing to do. Do kids still dab?

I think Patti Smith's new book, Bread of Angels, might be the best memoir I've ever read. Saw her 2 yrs ago in NYC. This book is an angel dreaming, singing, and living poetry. Hauntingly sad but joy throughout. Read it!! Next up King Congo Powers' Some New Kind of Kick. Saw him with The Cramps.

I likely miscounted, with 182 words in the first sentence. Got my work cutout for me. Can't wait!

The day has turned. (I'm keeping the window reflection, because Patti Smith, like the sun, has brightened my day :-)

Peaceful hike today.
I don't know the white spikey flower/seeds plant that this is, but it was flinging seeds everywhere on our hike in the woods. Low blue reflective river, no current, surrounded by turning autumnal leaves. Dry sandy bank on one side. Bridge at lower right. Bluest of skies.

Antique stores are the best. James Baldwin at the front. Incredible headline too.

It took a sec after a short skirmish, but the dragonfly and hummingbird have reached detente on the metal arch.
White chested hummingbird on the left side of the arch peaceful now, after a skuttle with the dragonfly on the right side of the arch. Green trees behind, neutral beige toned deck.

Full bright moon, lightly clouded sky. Street light hiding in trees.

My husband found this at a nearby antique store. 1914. The photos within the whole issue are wild.
The American Review of Reviews: Europe at War. 1914 issue. Aged paper issue, binding failing. 7 photos of the heads of warring European nations, 1914. Ad for Thin Paper Booklovers' Shakespeare. An ad in the issue.

I have an okra flower. Deep frying awaits! Also weird fungus on my walk this morning.
bright yellow petals, with a red center of an okra flower, stems and leaves surround. weird furry fungus, cream coloured, resting in the joint of a battle scarred old tree, green leaves behind

On the edge just now.
A baby robin sitting on the edge of the next trying to decide if it will fly. Green tree leaves behind.

Carl Sandburg's home. White older home with two gray porches. And a green door. Carl Sandburg's plaque in front of his birth home. In front of a white picket fences, and wooden sidewalk.

Finally found a place for this when I'm not using it.
Beige with black letters Poets House tote sitting on a wooden shelf of M-P poetry books.
