Last week I got some good prompts during the fishbowl, although the time got eaten up so much that I only had 2 writing days.  :/  I'm still really pleased with the new material -- fans seem to enjoy the eastern genre.  :D


Poetry in Microfunding:

There are two open epics. 

"A Cave Swarming with Strange Forms of Life" belongs to Polychrome Heroics: Iron Horses. Kenzie goes to Pretty Ears for counseling.

"So Many Notes and Colors and Flavors" belongs to Polychrome Heroics: Shiv. Heron and Shiv are comfort-cooking, and not everything goes smooth.


Weather here has been variable. It was icy, then rainy and windy, and now it's milder. Seen at the birdfeeders this week: a large flock of sparrows, a large flock of mourning doves, a small flock of dark-eyed juncos, a pair of cardinals, a female downy woodpecker, a male downy woodpecker, a rabbit, and a squirrel.  My house finches have returned!  :D  Yesterday and today I saw a pair of them on the thistle feeder, which has otherwise been abandoned for months.
