At least the garden is looking a bit tidier. And the compost bin is full to bursting, so I'm not sure what to do with the rest of the weed pile. Still, the compost has a habit of shrinking while my back is turned, so perhaps in a few days I'll be able to squeeze more in.
The wonderful new site read.write.poem is promoting American sentences this week. This is a poetic form invented by Allen Ginsberg, a sort of "Western haiku" - seventeen syllables, but linear.
I'm working on a set about our trip to the UK to post later in the week, but in the meantime here is one for today:
Five adult children, and I'm still finding Matchbox toys in the garden.
And a random photo for the day, from our trip (just because I like blue and orange together):

What a good idea; I haven't encountered this style before.
Michele sends me this way.
I have tried my hands at writing a poem consisting of a few American sentences. I will post it tomorrow after editing it. Or may be not.
Michele sent me here to tell you that!
That American Sentence is priceless - it is a great summary of a universal situation.
I have been having afternoon naps too. Delicious.
I'm just getting caught up on everyone's American Sentence entries and I love this one!
