seeing things

[gurdonark]

On the drive home, a hawk whirred overhead, wide wings and a feathery white underbelly. The moon
was haloed last night with the moisture in the air--through my binoculars the craters had an almost watery look. Frogs played jazz by the park pond, apparently influenced by Sun Ra and
Harry Partch. I saw lightning bugs wink on and off intermittently, with a planned-looking randomness. A swift flittered in the darkness, low on the ground, searching out bugs.

We have company coming for the three day weekend, and I am looking forward to good fun and endless conversation. Ken and Heidi have a 21 month old, Bella, whom I've only met once, when I fed her baby food by helping her pretend the spoon was an airplane. I love toddlers, so it will be fun to have her around. I hope my lhasas share my enthusiam--they tend to prefer their children to be school age.

I hope I find a dawn or dusk to do some walking this weekend--the weather is the best May weather I can ever remember in Texas. I would say I have some visceral need for flowers and wildlife, but I am not really all that in touch with my viscera on this point.

I sent off the funds for my two successful ebay electric football field purchases. One more field, and my project is ready to launch.

I do love ebay for the curious and obscure.
It is literally my favorite place to shop now.

Well wishes on your continuing venture!

I've noticed your posts gaining more and more thoughtful description and as a reader, I very much appreciate the imagery. Well done.

Thanks for the praise. I was going to send you an e mail about your most recent post, but then I realized that it was probably a more intricate situation than I realized, and an unknowing comment might be pointless.

Journalling is fun. There's just no way around admitting it.

i just realized today that i added you as a friend while signed on as Jenna instead of as myself. luckily, it all worked out, as she's excited to have a new friend, and now i'm adding you once again, this time to my own page ;)

thanks! Right now it's 9:50 p.m. and the crickets are very heavy into John Cage....
