Hurricane Ian has passed

We only had rain for three solid days, which was not a problem. Especially compared to the devastation in Florida.

On the world stage, Vladimir Putin is still waging war on Ukraine.  When will the Russian people rise up and rebel against him?

I still have great difficulty writing.  Still trying.

 


"October inherits summer's hand-me-downs: the last of the ironweed, its purple silken tatters turning brown, and the tiny starry white asters tumbling untidily on the ground like children rolling with laughter; stiff, drying black-eyed Susans whose dark eyes gleamed from July's roadsides; coneflowers with deep yellow petals surrounding brown pincushion centers from which bumblebees still are sipping honey.  The assignment of yellow is taken up now by thin-leafed wild sunflowers and artichokes."
