Wind Damage





We've had some seriously wicked winds! This poor little tree was snapped off at the trunk. Thank goodness Sarah and Michel had that big oak that was leaning dangerously over the garage/workshop removed. It could have killed someone in this weather.

You must forgive and forget to find peace at last


Though they are not worthy of a piece of my mind


I will leave them but none of their lessons behind

He thought the shadow was a blemish or birthmark. He stepped closer, so close he could smell her scent, so close he could see downy hairs standing up on the back of her neck. Close enough to finally see it was a tattoo. It said, "If you can read this, you're too close."

I watched the cat roll in the peppermint in my garden. He didn't seem to know that, although related to catnip, it wouldn't have the same effect. He seems relaxed enough and at least he'll smell nice! If people can drink non-alcoholic beer, kitty can roll in my mint.

His taste bordered on the recherche, but she could not help being dazzled by the opulence that surrounded him. Hushed tones filled any room he entered. His name was on every set of lips and her identity the mystery they all buzzed about.

Those Great Sad Eyes Of His - III

I can hold his hand.

I can kiss his lips.

But I cannot touch

the hidden depths of

those great sad eyes

Granny Squares



Today I learned the Sunburst Granny Square from a YouTube tutorial by Blossom Crochet. I've decided that every time I learn a new square motif, I'm going to make one with dk weight yarn, each with the same outer dimensions. When I have enough, I'm going to join them to make a patchwork tote. I figure I'll need 35 squares for the design I have in mind. I also made a regular granny square so I'll have examples of every square I've learned when I'm done.

I want to write poetry to go with the rain,

to pen words that will wash my heart free of its pain.

I am watching the clouds as they weep themselves out

and retaining the thoughts of what life's all about.
