L'aura del Campo

On to Missouri (flood of the Kaw). Gunning for 20k.

On to Missouri

Flow downriver, Spit-and-Mud,
enraged by clouds that spilled cold tears.
Go flood proud gates of heavens, hells and
what our Catholics once called limbo.

Ring bells! It's time to clean out Kansas
of its chicken livered louts, drown obscene lust,
this drought. Time to lift limbs, ravage, roust,
O mighty one, O mighty river.

Damn the levees. Damn the trees.
Erase what's left of these
Cruel-Liquid:
cold bone, cold blood, cold heart.

My life

My back decided that I should sleep in today; so I did. Got up in time for Tea at Three where Richard League gave me the prompt: "a titter ran through the crowd". I could skip with this ... as soon as I figger out what kind of a varmint a 'titter' is ...

Made peas and pasta. I ate this combo all one winter to save up money to buy a house! Nice memories roiling with the boiling noodles.

Everything is finally greening up. In the next month the green will deepen and give us dappled shade before the months of dust. 80s today and very nice.

In the window of Au Marché:

Soaps: Saltsjötvål; jabón puro; Il Frutteto (all 'flavors'); Tallba (pine); Lanolin Ägg-Tvål. Silkflowers; double tin wash basin; mice-candy-lollipops; tea tray; topiary; silver wine-bucket; mini-tea table set for a cat, a lamb and a fox; pink pig tea-towels.

In response to this blog approaching 20k views, I'm cooking up a 10 day plan to gather up 700 more blog-views and get my WDC readership over 125. This entails some focus, cunning and a bit of work. Wish me luck. I'll share the thrills of victory and agonies of defeat by the 22nd. Not all ideas will work equally well ...

Said hello to Ta who has an uplifting blog "Invalid Item"  ; anyone who is Christian may want to check in on The Messenger and encourage him in his blog endeavors at: "Invalid Item"  . Arakun the twisted raccoon has a blog to gather thoughts. I can always use more prompts! Also visited: SHEA from Newfoundland; Pony Tale in Australia, who is busy training her horse, Flossie; laregna who NASCAR; Debi Wharton who just visited the Philadelphia Zoo.
