What is something you learned recently?
I love to learn, and learn more every day. Today I would like to share a few photos by Karl, who helped me begin here some time ago.

Bloganuary Prompt for January 26, 2023
reading haiku
all the places we live
all we have in common
I was reading from Haiku Society of America members anthologies, and posted my haiku at Poems For Bulletin Boards last year.
As I wrote here, “I studied French when young, from 6th grade through the beginning of college at UW-Madison. I remember singing carols in French” (December 24, 2014).
Light and Seasons
What is a song or poem that speaks to you and why?
Bloganuary Prompt for January 25, 2023
summer evening
quiet music and
a few Psalms
new evergreen growth
still in the sun
The day is thine, the night also is thine:
thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
Thou hast set all the borders of the earth:
thou hast made summer and winter.
Psalm 74: 16-17 (KJV)
Post from July 28, 2022
Many verses from the Psalms – the light and seasons today.

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.
