Use your voice, make a choice.
Although they are sisters they squabble.
They hiss and hesitate in passing.
But Thunder comes down the stairs,
and Lightning fleas up very quickly,
Each returning to their home territory.

Loads of stuff needs to be done.
Postponed while finishing a good book.
Six Word Friday – Escape
A three-day escape next weekend -

Bravo Restaurant at the Museum of Fine Arts – Boston

Piano closed. Fingers are getting rusty.
Six Word Fridays – Instant
Slow cooked food over instant anytime.
Six Word Friday – Light
Day light decreases as October progresses.
However where I live the scenery during day light hours is great.
Six Word Friday – Wander
Itching to wander off some place,
But chores are keeping me home.
Gardens to put to bed and
Bulbs to plant for spring blooms.
Two black cats want petting time.
In October maybe I can wander.
Wacky Wednesday – Johnny Appleseed Day
John Chapman, aka Johnny Appleseed, was born on September 26, 1774, in Leominster, Massachusetts. Beginning in 1802 he wandered through northern and Midwestern states planting apple nurseries. Many of his seeds were collected from cider presses in Pennsylvania. His trees fed many settlers and legend says he was loved wherever he went.
So enjoy a fresh apple in his honor, or perhaps some applesauce or a slice of apple pie.
Music Monday – Come Sail Away
On this date, September 24, in 1977 Styx released “Come Sail Away”. I am positive I was not listening to it that autumn as I was a college freshman music major. I was spending hours in a practice room improving my less than impressive scales and piano technique. I also was working on sight singing, ear training, and attempting to gain an elementary grasp of the violin for string pedagogy class (one of the more stressful endeavors I have ever undertaken). But sometime somewhere I would find the tune to “Come Sail Away” to be one of those that sticks in the brain. Hope you don’t wake up in the wee hours of the morning with it looping around in your head.

Six Word Friday – KNOCK
Knock, knock-knock, knock, how nice,
It is my neighbor standing there.
Ding-dong, door bell not so,
Likely a package delivery from afar.
