Happy TTOT!! And Friyay! Let’s do this!

  1. NANOWRIMO! I am doing a poetry write in for Nanowrimo, kinda like NaPoWriMo… That is usually in April, but I wanted to do poetry in November. As part of this is a chapbook challenge in the Garden of Neuro Institute. It is moving along. If you are in Nano-anything-WriMo here is my handle
  2. Always grateful for changing colors.
  3. Found these cute little acorn squashes and they are going into some kinda tasty dish.
  4. This has been glorious weather.
  5. Outings whenever it is nice and I can get out.
  6. Finished projects. I crocheted a chemo cap for a friend and am working on the second one. It has been a long time since I have made any, but I found a lovely pattern. I am grateful that she has accepted my offer to do this for her. Here is the link in case you are interested.
  7. Daughter is going to vote today with her program. A great step to independence!
  8. We get to vote next week! Then all those ads will go away! WOOHOO!! Suggestion I made yesterday was to take all those signs and have a big bonfire and make s’mores and roast hot dogs as a community. Win:Win!
  9. Ice Cream…I am always on the hunt for good, lesser calorie/sugar, tasty, non-dairy ice cream. Found a creamy, dreamy one yesterday at TJ’s It is certainly a contender.

Roses

I only pretend to smell the roses
when I kiss their petals with lips
chapped by twenty years of thirst.

I never expected to live this long
without you.

For the Bird who Smashed into my Window

All that remained airborne
was a solitary feather
on its final flight

Not understanding death
drifting down

Galileo

Poets have been howling at the moon
since before we invented language

Our ancestors gazed at the stars
noticed five among thousands
that wandered the skies like chariots

Astrologers and scientists tracked
Jupiter as he marched along
regularly retracing his steps
at his most glorious

No one knew of his four escorts
each brighter than the little dipper
until Galileo pointed his telescope
up — and revealed what had been hidden
by the Jovian glare

And I mourn for the eons of reflected sunlight
wasted on our puny human eyes

Happy Friyay and TTOT! How do I love thankfuls? Let me count the ways!

  1. Pumpkin, pumpkin, all ways of pumpkin, see it, eat it, drink it, and smell the spice of it!
  2. Poetry, oh poetry, oh how I love sweet poetry, I may like bitter poetry too, and spooky poetry, yes that will do.
  3. I saw the black cat who used to come to the porch, I am guessing he found a better place to visit, maybe they have treats and more!
  4. There’s a dead balloon hanging in a tree, I see, I suppose it will be there for eternity, wonder what future viewers may wonder, is it new, old, a lost toy from yonder.
  5. books, books, booey books, happy books, thinking books, motivating books, all books that pile on my shelf, even sad books have great wealth.
  6. Cooler days, crunching leaves, viewing pretty-colorful leaves, these are things that make me pleased.
  7. So many events in the planning, for the Garden and for my daily workings, make me smile to be around positive energies, where people can visit and share there beautiful musings.
  8. An event was had on Friday last, the place I live put out a spread, yummy foods, crafts, and smiles, it was great to see people and enjoy fun times.
  9. Sweetheart is back to days down to four, except like today when a class is in store, he’s on his computer and listening well, I won’t disturb him, just happy he’s here.
  10. YOU What’s your thankful? Please share by clicking the blue bar and adding your 10 more or less, we just love to hear from you!
