two journeys

first to toronto in august

then to europe in september:

london, paris, bruges, oxford, and hadrian's wall.

if anyone has suggestions as to how the brattcats might best savor any of these places

please let me know.

i'll visit your posts when i'm able and put up posts of my own between travels.

be well, all of you.

plugged in

do any of you play guitar?

the petaled bards of summer

 enter the house on thin legs

 gaze wide eyed at the small black piano

 mingle their perfume with the aroma of baked oats and honey

rest like swans upon the kitchen table 

and murmur poems in a language known only to ants.

take a chance and dance - finale

 thank you for indulging me

 thank you, jilly, for inspiring me

thank you all for your kind comments and regular visits

have a grand weekend.

take a chance and dance - four

couples changed with dizzying speed

 when two women partnered

they took turns with the lead

take a chance and dance - three

the bliss of being spun through a hot summer night

take a chance and dance: like a marvelous bird

 she alighted on his shoulders

 strummed and sang with abandon

then fluttered back down to the ground
