The Wordsmith's Forge

Folks have mentioned an interest in questions and conversations that make them think. So I've decided to offer more of those. This is the current list on self-awareness.

39. Do you enjoy spending time alone?

Yes, very much so.

Today is mostly sunny and warm.

I fed the birds.  I saw a male goldfinch on the thistle feeder earlier today.  :D

We worked in the orchard again, clearing brush and cutting it up. 

EDIT 7/16/20 -- I picked up dead wood in the orchard and dumped it on the firepit.

EDIT 7/16/20 -- I gathered some of the walnut fronds from the orchard and spread them in the ritual meadow to dry before they can be burned.

EDIT 7/16/20 -- We burned off the firepit tonight.

The general fund poll is open in Dreamwidth.

The July 7, 2020 Poetry Fishbowl made its $200 goal, so you get a free epic. Everyone is eligible to vote in this poll. I will keep it open until at least Friday night. If there's a clear answer then, I'll close it. Otherwise I may leave it open longer.

Your options are:

"Ethical Rebels"
An interfaith chaplain, a rabbi, and a supervillain minion work on the issue of forced marriage.
166 lines, Buy It Now = $83

"A Velvet Revolution"
Women's Institutes inspired more than just crafts.
69 lines, Buy It Now = $70
