The 2019 Holiday Poetry Sale is now open.

See Welcome to Winterfaire 2019 for an opportunity to buy or sell holiday gifts and services. We now have links to several other such lists.


Poetry in Microfunding:

There are two open epics.

"A Different Vision of Life" is now complete. Griffin has supper with a new friend.

"Goldilocks and the Genderbears" is now complete. Goldilocks discusses gender with the bears.

This clears the slate going into the Holiday Poetry Sale, so people are welcome to open new epics if they wish.  Remember that poems are locked at the opening price.


The weather has been mostly moderate, then it snowed vigorously yesterday.  The ground is covered in a layer of white and the trees are frosted.  Icicles fringe the roof.  Seen at the birdfeeders this week: a large flock of sparrows, a large flock of mourning doves, a small flock of dark-eyed juncos, a small flock of cardinals, several house finches, a downy woodpecker, and a squirrel.  The snow brought out many birds today.  I saw at least 4 pairs of cardinals.  Dozens of mourning doves roosted on the porch -- all along the windowsills and on the stuff stored under the overhang.  I saw them from inside the house.  When I went out to fill the feeders, they exploded into flight.  :D
