The half-price sale in Polychrome Heroics went well.  I still have stacks of stuff to post.


Poetry in Microfunding:

There is one open epic at present.

"Rainshadow Road" belongs the Daughters of the Apocalypse series. It discusses herbalism.

"A Celebration and a Consolation" is now complete.  The family wraps up holiday discussions.


The weather has been chilly here, with a little rain. Seen at the birdfeeders this week: a large flock of goldfinches, a small flock of house finches,two pairs of cardinals, several mourning doves, several dark-eyed juncos, a few sparrows, and three fox squirrels together.

Birdfeeding

Today is sunny and cool.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a flock of mixed goldfinches and house finches, a dark-eyed junco, a male cardinal, and 3 fox squirrels.

I pulled weeds around the patio and hauled a trolley to the firepit. 

Poem: "Staying Together Is Progress"

This poem is spillover from the September 7, 2021 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by prompts from fuzzyred, chanter1944, and Anonymous. It also fills the "Nonphysical Passions" square in my 9-1-21 card for the Platonic Love Fest Bingo. This poem has been sponsored by a pool with ng_moonmoth. It belongs to the Kraken thread of the Polychrome Heroics series. It follows "Coming Together Is a Beginning" so read that first or this won't make much sense.

Poem: "A Being Specialized for Pleasure"

This poem is spillover from the October 6, 2021 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by prompts from chanter1944 and Anonymous.
