november










After a very leisurely morning I decided to take a short ride.
The hills are golden and this morning's strong winds
and storms cleared many tree branches.

The Gorgeous Nothings is a book documenting the scraps of envelopes
 Emily Dickinson wrote her poetry on and carried around in her dress pocket.

Her spare and beautiful words are elegantly photographed on one page
with a "translation" of her handwriting on the adjacent page.
A treasure.

The ground cherries (?) were pulled from the roadside
and placed in a vase by my bed.

Feeling a bit rested,
I finished knitting my gloves today.
