cockatoo in the White Man House,
on bailing out bankers."
I think Sharon and I will be getting on ok together ?

Saw this guy at the Christmas tree farm yesterday. There were 2 of these gorgeous roosters and a bunch of pretty lady chickens.
watching the rooster
strut his stuff is poultry in
motion — eggcellent! 🐓

Yesterday we went to Santa‘s Tree Farm to pick out a Christmas tree. The delicious smells of all the various kinds of trees makes you feel all warm and cozy inside. 🌲
pine-scented air tinged
with spice and hints of citrus —
warmth floods the senses.

Two books I'm starting today: Symphonies for the Soul is a classical music "pharmacy" linking musical pieces to mental health issues, which will probably be a book I'll slowly consume into next year.
The tagged book is Olds' poetry collection about aging during the COVID era - at least that's what I think it is. I've not previously read her work, so unsure if this is a good introduction.

I was told there would
be a handsome prince — lies! I
want my money back. 🐸

“...poems are like trees in this way...poems can be a place to stop and remember that we too are living.“ 🌳💚 💌

Wow, Patricia Lockwood really comes at you HARD with her sentences. The majority of this takes place when she and her husband go through financial difficulties and return to live with her parents. There are gobs of tangents about her childhood, mostly centering her parents and specific brand of religion. I love her writing but often became disoriented by her gems she sprinkles throughout. Hilarity but also poignancy in one slap of the pen. ⬇️

I think there's nothing more beautiful than a window covered in winter frost.
