Just a little of what I have been up to that I never
got around to placing on Facebook.
When the
weather report was announced that the temperature was dropping to freezing I
gathered up my potted plants where I place them in the enclosed summer porch
where they will stay all winter. I proceeded to bring in to the garage my large
fern by removing it from the larger decorative empty pot to trim it back when I
discover Sassafras inside the empty container. Sassafras is a little Gray Tree
Frog that was my friend last summer. Sass was a baby when I discovered him and
photographed him all summer in different places and poses. The cutting was discontinued
and the fern carefully placed back in the large container as Sass moved up the
wall out of harm’s way. I will miss him this winter and his family that greeted
me with a song in the mornings as I walked to the paper box.
Friday
morning I stopped at the Midway Fire Department garage sale where I purchased a
small table and four chairs. Now, I need to donate my large dining table and
six chairs. We continued out to the place where ORAC was holding the 6x6 art
action Saturday evening. I was unable to attend Saturday night so I placed
several bids for the ones I wanted and on my own. Then, I stayed while Eileen
Preston picked up donated flowers from several florist and helped Debby Lively ORAC
president until 4 p.m. when Eileen returned with beautiful fall flowers.
Saturday
morning I volunteered at the Baxter County Library for a couple of hours during
kids mousetrap car races. I had an enjoyable time.
After two
weeks without seeing Prissy, she came one morning to enjoy a little corn with
one mother, a yearling and two fawn friends acting like colts on a spring
morning. The young ones were playing as if they felt safe and free from there
hold-up spot down below the forest covered hills hiding from the bow hunters.
Sunday
morning we went to church and I had a restful afternoon.
Monday, two members of Creative Writers
& Illustrators came to the studio to work on a pre-teen novel and other
things. We accomplished critiquing three chapters. Several were left for me to
read from both writers. They realize I am very busy so they were kind enough
not to put any pressures on me to finish. I
will be my best.
Today, Tuesday October 29, I and Stephen
Johnson, president of the Free Verse Poetry Group met at KTLO radio station
where we promoted our group’s latest poetry CD “Driftwood” on the program TALK
OF THE TOWN. Stephen did great and I hope I was okay. It was fun.
Soon
as I post this on my one blog I’ll be onto the next step in my minutes I have
left in this day. Remember, Saturday, November 2, Creative Writers and Illustrators
meet at 1 p.m. at the Baxter County Library
