There will be a Bonus Fishbowl on Tuesday, August 17 with a theme of "anything goes." Please brainstorm early and jot down your ideas in case you're too tired or busy to think of things tomorrow.


Poetry in Microfunding:

There are two open epics at present.

"Rainshadow Road" belongs the Daughters of the Apocalypse series. It introduces Maggot to the Clearwater Caravan.

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


We got a little rain. Seen at the birdfeeders this week: a small flock of house finches, a few mourning doves, and a squirrel. Currently blooming: violas, spiderwort, purple coneflower, yellow coneflower, morning glories, nasturtium, cup plant, black-eyed Susan, Queen Anne's lace, petunia, zinnias, marigolds, naked ladies, sunchokes, purple penstemon.  Butterfly milkweed has gone to seed, and I'm gathering the seeds to plant.

Birdfeeding

Today is warm, and started out sunny but has more clouds towering up now.

I fed the birds.  I've seen house finches and doves.

I planted wild onions in the prairie garden.

EDIT 8/16/21 -- I trimmed brush in the prairie garden.
