These are some posts from the later part of last week in case you missed them: Poem: "In Search of a Sanctuary" Poem: "Of Gold and Standards" Poem: "Dort Vu S'iz a Roykh" Hippie Cookbooks Today's Smoothie Moment of Silence: Ken Spears Creative Jam Another Superpower Birdfeeding Self-Awareness Question: Attracted Birdfeeding Warming Spices Birdfeeding Good News There will be a bonus fishbowl in Not Quite Kansas on Tuesday, November 17. Poetry in Microfunding: There is one open epic at present. " The Best Understanding of Their Differences " belongs to Polychrome Heroics: Calliope. Calliope and Vagary start on couple exercises. The weather has been colder, and we got some rain the other day. Seen at the birdfeeders this week: a flock of mourning doves, a flock of cardinals, a flock of sparrows, several dark-eyed juncos, a Bewick's wren, a downy woodpecker, and a squirrel. I saw the owl flying around in the yard one morning, and I saw a hawk once when I went out to feed the birds. :D
