Friday Finally

some bits of foliage left over from summer...fall is soon coming

I walked the dog tonight and was

picking at all my neighbors' plantings along the road and sidewalk.

My anniversary/September bouquet kicked the bucket so

I need something new to study.

I noticed the house at the corner has these terrific flowers but

the pots are on either side of the front door,

and I wouldn't dare, truly.

 

Earlier this morning I noticed down the block these amazing

morning glories but

1. I just couldn't pick it as it was true perfection and

 2. its broad daylight

I console myself by saying that I'll probably never 

capture that blue/purple anyway.

I found my stash of index cards from ICAD challenge from a while back.



 I have been following DPP at Daisy Yellow and

thought I saw 'circles' as a prompt..when

 I went back to link up my art to her blog, I couldn't

 find it as a prompt at all.. I'll just chalk that one up to a 40s-moment.

I found another stash of small pieces of watercolor paper I cut last winter.
 I didn't realize what a squirrel I am.



I'm glad this week is over. So many big unexpected things happened,

forcing the cash to fly out of my wallet. 

 I'm going look on the bright side and just say they were all improvements...

to the car, the kid's glasses...etc.

Half full, half full.

Have a totally FULL weekend!

DDP 42 Haiku

 

 

I have all these index cards from ICAD a few months back.

I'm working on DPP/Daily Paper Prompts now in between the raindrops.

The last time I wrote a haiku I was in grade school.

You ought to try it- its easy and fun.

This one is 5-7-5 pattern.

First line five syllables, second line seven ,third five syllables again.

 

When I was in 6th or 7th grade my cousin and I would spend a week

or two at my grandparents upstate and she brought with her this album called Day at the Races

and that began my youthful obsession with Queen.

 I lost the obsession before my twenties but it's found its way back to me.

 

It is old and brand new again to me.

 

The best thing is that it makes me feel down to my cells like I'm thirteen and

that is the most awesome feeling.

 

Thank you gentlemen.
