The half-price sale in the Daughters of the Apocalypse went all right. I still have poems to post from that.


Poetry in Microfunding:

There are two open epics at present, and "Rainshadow Road" is also open but I haven't posted it yet.

"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 warmer, and it rained enough to flood the fields. Seen at the birdfeeders this week: a flock of mourning doves (including courtship behavior), a flock of sparrows, a flock of goldfinches, a few robins, several house finches, a pair of cardinals, a rabbit, and a squirrel. Currently blooming: purple allium, white allium, honeysuckle, wood hyacinth, wild strawberries, blackberries, chives, bergamot, iris, peonies.  Mulberries and black raspberries have green fruit.
