Happy Birthday, Lisa.
Dylan is making himself REART.  


We had a really sweet brunch over at Jo's this morning.  She set the table with the china and candles.  It was lovely and everyone brought something to share. All we were  missing was the crossword puzzle and the travel section.  I really did start looking at the travel section at about age 8.  

Pretty good turn out at 1st Sunday, today.  There were 36 people and 18 read, plus 2 features.  That's a nice break down.  

I read new stuff for the first time since probably April.  It felt good; I'm not all that impressed with the poems, but they are there, which is a step in the right direction.   

I left a little early.  Went for a rookery ride and ate some appetizers at China Gourmet.  I actually did the same thing a year ago, but a year ago my responsibilities for the weekend were much greater.  I was not overtaxed today, just in need of a little protein.



Edite brought Jo flowers from her garden, from her garden on Nov. 1st.  When we went to admire them we saw we had a visitor who'd traveled from her house.  He was rehomed.  Does that work?  Will a bee find a new swarm?

Welcome November and welcome the burgundy of the oak trees.

June 1, 2026 OK, I'm not the best photographer coming out of anesthesia, but I actually look ok for someone who just had control, return, delete pushed on her heart.   All went well.   I'm home and will be back to my regular life tomorrow. photo by David
