summer evening
quiet music and

Who is your favorite author and why?
Bloganuary Prompt for January 21, 2023
Jan Karon’s novels are wonderful – characters, stories, craft.
Last year, I discovered The Mitford Museum site. The museum is in Hudson, NC and was founded by Jan Karon. The beautiful site includes more information.
And I have written often about poets, especially Luci Shaw. And I am also reading more books by Ted Kooser.
Many who create blogs also offer their books. Grateful for all. I also learn about poets and books from reviews in journals, including Time Of Singing and Modern Haiku.
These are only a few examples.
What irritates you about the home you live in?
Bloganuary Prompt for January 20, 2023
I have been watching the Craft In America series on PBS. Many artists, art forms, cultures, and places. I enjoy the conversations, how crafts are preserved and passed along to new generations, and seeing the creative work spaces.
There have been a few times when we lost power over the years, and Karl bought generators and battery-operated lights. This year, there was one evening when our energy company asked customers to conserve – for example, turn the heat lower and no gas fireplaces – and all was stable and back to normal soon.
Shelter, heat, water and even internet – so here I sit with a new post! In our old home that began as a cottage in the 1940s, and reflects the work of many people.
