"Autumn Moon":
Beneath the full moon of autumn,
my neighbor plays his flute
out of tune.

Before: the plot was already "thick"

After much pruning, raking and clearing out...found ground!

About Me
- Margo
- I work. I write. I eat. I garden. I travel. I hike, camp and take photos.
I watch a few movies and read far more books, and try to keep up on my email correspondence.
I need a 36-hour day.
