Things are buzzing along in our neck of the woods. A good friend emailed several poems to me this morning. This Peace Garden & the blessings of love & support that has been given from it's start, it seems, we may have a lovely new addition! [Yes, I feel like a mom.] I'll definitely keep you all posted, with this exciting news, as I want our friend to be very comfortable, as to how her poetry is placed.
On another note, my husband & I will be at a Peace event decorating Peace Flags, this evening at 6:30pm, in Mansfield, Ct. This event is being held at the Quaker Meeting House, right near the University of Connecticut. If you're out our way, please stop in. There will be music, dancing, delicious & interesting food, & all sorts of fun. I was up last night into the wee hours, cutting & pressing colorful fabric for "127" Peace Flags. My "to-do/pack the car up list", is emerging fast, but I did, listen to my muse, & am thankfully blessed with a new poem this bright & sunny morning:
The Holidays, Pick Up & Shine
Pick up the house
and dust those chairs
Clip down the yard
there's much to care
Shop for the food
the list is long
Cook it all up
then it's all gone
Pumpkins & turkey,
red berries that zing
Potatoes & gravy
salads that sing-
Light candles
fix tables
bring wine out to toast
the holiday feast
oh such work for the host
The pies when they're baking
the house smells so sweet
The toast we've been making
reveals a warm treat
Love is what brings us
to tables so far
In trains, or in buses
in planes or in cars
So now that one's ended,
an other's begun
clean up to good music
the glow's just begun.

The photo above is from our cousins Arlene & David's very unique art collection. Can you make out their colorful array of pickup sticks. Definitely a child's play, no more.
Poetry In Motion, what a joy this project is, & definitely a challenge too. Here we are with the fourth day of poetry. Thank you all for your encouragement. I am so looking forward to posting a new & unique talent here in the garden soon. I'll keep you posted, for sure.
