We the poets of the Lair, thank all who support us.

We hope to be here a long time, singing our songs
riding the stars, writing our own visions, and best of all,
loving all who continue to lurk and visit here over the years.


We write of love, we write of war,
we write of sorrow,
we write of Knights and Kingdoms from before,
we write of drawing down the moon,
scarlet robes, and gossamer, kismet, serendipity, serenity,
and days of grace, filled with woodsy space
ancestors wrinkled ragged and bold
horror stories from our own past
hauntings from the bog with screaming banshee
voices on the wind
and of the wind loud and sassy
tinkling brass, silvered nights with star strewn paths.
We write songs of happiness, songs of grief
songs of anger and relief.


Our poets take pictures along their walk
post them here for all of us to gawk
and ohh and aw about the mystery of another land.


With all of life's hard times, pushes and shoves
we poets remain above the fray to write
in the sunlight of another new day,
and take a chance on a little romance
in The Land of Glen Gaul Way.
And know that in the dead of night,
WayzataJohnn will be stopping by to steam up the Lair
with a senusous poem, or tell a hair raising tale from
his life as an Navy Vet, a Cowboy, a Husband, and
best of all a very good friend of all of us here.

LOL that's so cute.

Not much in happenin'! Had a good night's rest, but I'm lazy today, overcast skies today, I have no ambition. ;(



Did you have class last night? How's it going this year?

It's heading toward 80º with a hazy sun and humidity.

Class last night usually leaves me lazy the next day regardless of weather. Class is going well. There is a shortage of students, however, not just me but for other teachers at the studios. It's time to advertise again.

It is going well, thank you. I usually don't go in for mischief (except to wreak some havoc on the evolution threads).

Thanks for sending the "young fellow" a letter. He will definately appreciate your words. So far no further news, but then he's usually contacting us about once per week (last week we received three phone calls). Prayers up for all the troops.

From what I've been told...

The Marines in the picture. The pic is named "Air Guns", it's something they do. Fabulous isn't it?

Good moring bentfeather. We've had rain overnight, and now partly sunny skies and possibly more rain. May your day be Blessed.

Hello!

We have a gorgeous day today. Streams of sunlight playing through the colors of the maples, simply astounding in beauty. After two days of gloomy over cast skies, it is a spectacular feast for the eyes.
Our temps are in the 50s with high humidity.

It's nice to have good weather. Our temps right now are in the high 50's or low 60's. I don't know what our expected high is suppose to be. The rain seems to have cleaned the air quite a bit (but not yet enough), so that is good. Hopefully people will slow down their driving and avoid accidents from slick roads.

That is a Harrier jet dropping by the helm of a ship (I think it was an aircraft carrier). Cool, huh?
