Poetry in Microfunding:

There are two open epics at present.

"The Hobbomak" launches the Bear Tunnels series. Emma and Jesse explore the images on the walls.

"A Celebration and a Consolation" belongs to Polychrome Heroics. Keira comforts her mother after the breakup.


The weather has been mostly mild here. It rained some. Seen at the birdfeeders this week: a large flock of mourning doves (including courtship behavior), a flock of grackles, a flock of sparrows, 4 bluejays, a few robins, several house finches who are draining the thistle sock, a pair of cardinals, a pair of rose-breasted grosbeaks, a brown thrasher, and a squirrel.  Currently blooming: violets, tulips, purple allium, white allium, lily of the valley, butterfly weed, honeysuckle, wood hyacinth.  Iris, peonies, and poppies have buds.
