haha!

That reminds me of the BasketBrawl fight last Friday.

What an ugly fight scene that was!

Autumn Fires

In the other gardens
And all up the vale,
From the autumn bonfies
See the smoke trail!

Pleasant summer over
And all the summer flowers,
The red fire blazes,
the grey smoke towers.

Sing a song of seasons!
Something bright in all,
Flowers in the summer
Fires in the fall!

- Robert Louis Stevenson -

Having the typical Monday stuff happen.
So it'll be interesting to see how the rest of the day turns out.

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon, Coco. Hope you are having a great Monday.

Thank you for sharing your poems with us.
I will save A Comet Falls and look for a graphic to accompany it at a later date.

Afternoon, Amy.

Watched part of the football game last night, and Carr sure impressed me.

Hi Amy! I hope you are having a great day today. I did a little shopping this afternoon. It's getting colder outside. In a way, it is nice to have a change from the hot weather. I just don't want it to snow yet, but they are predicting snow in a couple of days.

[JustAmy]

This one is for Meekie because Texas has had so much rain, CG an LE because they hate rain; NnB because he writes poems about rain and for me because I love rain (probably because we get such a small amount every year.)



Horses and Men in Rain
Carl Sandburg

LET us sit by a hissing steam radiator a winter’s day, gray wind pattering frozen raindrops on the window,
And let us talk about milk wagon drivers and grocery delivery boys.

Let us keep our feet in wool slippers and mix hot punches—and talk about mail carriers and messenger boys slipping along the icy sidewalks.
Let us write of olden, golden days and hunters of the Holy Grail and men called “knights” riding horses in the rain, in the cold frozen rain for ladies they loved.

A roustabout hunched on a coal wagon goes by, icicles drip on his hat rim, sheets of ice wrapping the hunks of coal, the caravanserai a gray blur in slant of rain.
Let us nudge the steam radiator with our wool slippers and write poems of Launcelot, the hero, and Roland, the hero, and all the olden golden men who rode horses in the rain.

Good afternoon, Tulip. They are still predicting frost here.

I've been trying to upload pictures of Marissa with her turkey project.

Day has been going okay. I'll bet if felt good to get some shopping done. I still have lots to do. :(

[JustAmy]

That is how we spent our Sunday! :)

[international american]

They nailed the players. I hope they prosecute them as well. 12 million a year to beat up fans? I think not.

[Mama_Bear]

That is just sooooo cute! Tell Marissa that I said she has a very nice looking turkey there.

Lucky you. I used to love doing craft things with my son when he was little. I could be a kid again. I never outgrew crayons and watercolors. :-)

[MeekOneGOP]

Thanks. :^D

I am hoping the rain lets up pretty soon.

I have a now thawed out turkey from Wal-Mart that I am ready to smoke in my outdoor cooker.

I'll take either tomorrow or Wednesday, whichever obliges me. :^)
