W/ Hearst and Paul near Dungeness Spit 
Seagulls following
As we visit the crab pots.
They’re disappointed.
2016
Lunch while my Suby
Gets a bath. So glad I just
Got a half order.
The sum total of
One semester of clay play:
20+ tchotchkes!
2015
After the concert
We watched the (really cold) sunset
Then built a nice fire.

2013
'Tis the season, and
This year I'm decorating
With local color.
This is for John Mark Rozendaal
Okay, top 10 books:
Little Women (warped me for life)
Jane Eyre
All Jane Austen Novels
Lord of the Rings
The Chess Garden
Gift from the Sea
Drinking the Rain
Fire and Hemlock
The Moonstone
Greenwillow
There really isn't enough room here... Most of these are books I re-read, and there are many more....Wind in the Willows, The Secret Garden, Once and Future King, Christmas Carol, various SciFi books (Schmitz, Heinlein, Asimov), fantasy, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, The Artist's Way, The Knitting Goddess....
And then there are the picture books....
Maybe we should instead list the books that don't impact us?

This is a public footpath, leading straight to the Hadley Bowling Green Inn, my walk’s destination At this point the path disappears: I take the tractor road skirting the field I was covered in tiny burrs after pushing through this hedge Here I get locally made ice cream I take the road back Droitwich flowers Sweetest scent ever climbing a British hedgerow 2018 I’m buying ice cream “Thank you for eating healthy” The cashier tells me. Progression of a storm: we watch clouds piling up, enjoying the play of light on the rocks. Back at the library, we hear the rain and thunder. Then....hail?! And a heavenly scent of bruised plants. My poor Forester is out in it, hood open to keep the pack rats at bay. Minor flooding. So far. It’s been going on for an hour. Ice is melted, but rain pours down still. So much for sunset kayaking. 2017 See separate post for all the Huntingdon Garden pix.  I...

I'm not watching golf. Old boy Chip and I Both wanted to doze inside. Young pup dragged us out. At the cricket pitch, Modern day circle of stones On the windy hill. The hill ponies leave, So we take a look around.
