"you're not a human on a spiritual journey, you're a spirit on a human journey."
a quote from a pine ridge organizer of skateboarding youth
think on this--
my neighbor's small barn,
with stripy roof
wild cuke, looks like my hair
when mine first dries this happens
last night when i stepped into the shower
i saw this small one
after the shower it went outside
how do these guys get in my house?
mice galore this fall-
many, many trapped so far.
today i went to lake placid
to drop off five works for an invitational show
the big little art show
opening next friday, should you be in the area.
don't know if i'll make the opening, but four of the rock books will appear.
the fifth is too BIG.
i went all the way to keene valley
a somewhat dizzying drive when the leaves are off
but it was beautiful
at home there are a few things i wanted to share: from carol
from therese
carol's new book is out
a wonderul gift from frank
he certainly has a lot to say about spuds
and the like
i'm reading this,
another very fine book.
and these came
elissa campbell's work
yep, i won these!!!
and this guy got none of my
excellent potato salad from
the lakeside deli in saranac lake.
it was watching, waiting.
books are even more special when you win them - well done. super pictures, as always. could you be known as a cute cuke??
ReplyDeleteWoolly bears... inside, I do wonder? I seem to have a LOT of mice this year, too, or one who gets around and leaves small, brown offerings everywhere. My furry mouse trap seems to want to sleep more at night now than parole the dark rooms... so, more brown things here and there. Great stock of books and prizes, on my!
ReplyDeletewhat views--all that white--far as the eye can see
ReplyDeleteWOW
and all those wonderful books...oh my, such riches
you must be bursting in smiles
CONGRATULATION is in order!
WHAT are those leaves that look like flattened bugs?
Magnificent
oh myyyy all those books look delish-ee-ous! (and look - there's the word 'bibliophile'... how can I go past that eh???)
ReplyDeletesaranac lake , might we have driven thru there ? i should remember, i was navigator making all the decisions. that name sounds like i should have, even if i didn't, but i think i did !
ReplyDeleteIt might have been a dizzying drive but you write an undizzying narrative Velma.
ReplyDeleteI hope you won more than a plastic bag or was that it?
Best to you.
jean, thanks. i can't be known as cute anything!
ReplyDeletevalerie, my theory is where's there's one, there's 10. by that calculation i'm in deep trouble.
ms, the mountains were clothed that way for miles
the leaves are bugs: phyllium pulchrifolium, P celebecium,P giganteum, P bioculatum
ronnie, yes, bibliophilia
roz, probably, or through tupper lake. saranac lake is my favorite town in the north country
faisal, thanks. you're too funny-the plastic bag held elissa'a books!
everything here is beautiful. we plugged up every hole and there are no mice this year. inside. spiders yes.
ReplyDeletejude, how in the world did you plug every hole? YAY for you.everyone is where they belong. almost. spiders do like wood.
ReplyDeletewhat a book feast!
ReplyDeleteneki, yes, i'm lucky
ReplyDeleteFunny, I just signed "On Paper" out of the library today. I'm looking forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteheather, it's quite good. the man can tell a good story and writes very very well.
