Giana’s second shadow
escaped early,
lit the lamps,
and told the house
she was already home
When she stepped through the doorway
it did not step aside
Duplicity, it said,
has perfect timing…

“Encore” variety azalea bred for spring-plus-fall color yet rarely the latter
Recent unseasonably warm stretches (Kansas City) enticed my azalea…
buds set and opened for rare (in my garden) autumn blossom parade 💐
timing is a treat, yet a bit worrisome due to cooler weather and a likely freeze arriving soon
@GabyLynch9 Researched, to align with your general location:
Leave the alliums in the pot.
Let the leaves die back fully, then cut them down.
Keep the pot dryish and well-drained through dormancy.
No need to dig them up and store them like dahlias. They’ll come back next spring.
🍻
@GabyLynch9 My pleasure. Thanks!
Rarely post to social media of late. Shall be more active again soon. Your posts are always on my top priority “catch up on” list each time I return from a break.
I hope all is well with you, too!
@pawpaw_ray Cool project.
The dryer sheets are a great tip.
I don’t have experience but if the sheets are inadequate, I read once that some furniture restoration benefit from ‘activated charcoal” to remove common odors.
Something like this product…
Good morning, to you too! I haven’t been on social media much lately. Enjoying catching up on others posts.😊
My husband and I have enjoyed past few nights stargazing from our Kansas City area patio, thanks to unusual for late October: warm temperatures and clear night skies.
This is a few nights ago. Telescope aided photo with camera adapter (speckled/grainy quality is common in my smartphone afocal shots through an eyepiece because I keep forgetting to make the proper camera setting adjustments🙄)
Abstract view…
The deflection complaint cuts both ways.
Biden’s team blamed Trump for inflation and the border well into their term. Calling Biden uniquely high-integrity ignores Afghanistan, the inflation spike after the spending bills, and the border numbers.
Voters saw the full record and voted. That’s not deflection…it’s the comparison that “decided” the election.
🙄and then there’s the Electoral College…merits of which not aligning with highly fluid per State population shifts

#vss365#unexpected ✍️ She watched the road as she always had, eyes narrowed against the glare, waiting… for the familiar dust of his return.
A dry twig snapped where trees met light. No dust rose. Hands empty.
The unexpected stood in the glare where she looked every day.
Her eyes narrowed a moment longer, then opened on the empty road.
The dust
she had waited for, never came.

She lay back into that pale road slung from dark to dark, and the night took her in.
one roof
one lamp
quarters the weather
could not reach
salt on her lips
from a sea
haunted
taunted
what harboured there:
the doubt
the almost
the wish…
to be lodged,
to be loved,
stayed warm
against her ribs.
Storm raged,
then calmed,
temporarily.
The journey
homeward
did not dim
it only ceased
to pretend
it had been hers.

#vss365#renounce
✍️
Glistening
with salty dew
sparks lifted
as Una fled
She renounced
the throne
chose
the flinty path
Tide shifted
the sea
she trusted
churned
then calmed
Her saving grace…
nothing
the sea
could
soulfully claim.
