So Blogger Buds,
Or in your garden?
AND...It's a dog's life.
AND...Poems and Paintings
The Arts Council had a gallery showing based on poems. Two artists chose one of the HH's.
Remembering a snow scene
The snowflakes fell steadily
Out of a pewter sky.
I stood at the edge of a meadow,
Just outside of the tree line.
There wasn’t even a hint of wind
To rustle some dried limbs.
Nor the flutter of wings
Or stutter of a squirrel.
If not for the falling snow,
It would have been as if
I stepped into some artist’s landscape
Hanging on the wall
Of someone’s entryway.
The total lack of sound
Created its own kind of
Sensation: the rotation
Of the earth as it hurled
Through the universe.
After forty years
The scene still lives
As pristine as ever
At the center
Of my consciousness.
What's on your desk? Got flowers? Dogs? Spoiled critters? Poems? Paintings?

No flowers on my desk, but I have two very needy cats. I loved the paintings and your husband's poem. Seems talent abounds in your family, dear.
Hi Sandra - I'd definitely have a cat around, if there was one or a dog at my feet - at least they're loyal and don't cause me trouble!! HH's poem 'Remembering a Snow Scene' ... I'd rather not at the moment ... but it's always beautiful. HH is very clever to be able to craft poems ... congratulations to you both - Hilary
Huge congratulations to HH.
Your family has cornered the market in talent hasn't it?
There are flowers here, but Jazz objects, so they probably won't stay. Cats rule.
Loved the post Sandra, on my desk I have family photo's and ones of me and Danny Boy. along with writing pad.
Loved all your pics on this Tuesday morn.
Take care.
Yvonne.
We have an electronic photo display and I always have a slideshow running of our various holidays. It is nice to remember.
I don't have a desk anymore. My laptop and I move around my house during the day while I work.
I didn't even attempt tomatoes this year as the last two years produced next to no tomatoes. However, my acorn squash and jalapenos have gone crazy.
Pretty garden photos mine is looking dry the past few days no rain all of a sudden.
I adore that poem. It's so evocative of the winters I know and the times I love them best (fewer times I enjoy them, but that's one!)
I came home from the lake last night so my temporary desk is the dining room table and it's covered with mail that arrived while I was gone. Lizzie was a pretty good car cat but I don't think we'll be able to use yesterday's ploy to get her in the car next time! And flowers? Running rampant!
I put some pictures of my sunflowers on my blog last Friday.
I love that poem and its setting between the 2paintings is perfect. It reminds me of the Robert Frost poem. My desk..hahahaaa...has my laptop, papers, my card making stuff, glues, tapes, day calendar paper towels..a lot. Our garden is so pretty but too hot to sit there. Have a beautiful day. Our Wallace says hi
How cool to have HE'S lovely poem recognized, and much deserved 👏. My desk is a disaster right now with 1 scrapbook case overflowing with stickers, three washing tapes,the printer, scribbled notes, scratch tickets that were thrown away by someone else, and some mail. Only one thing survived in the garden, and that's mint. Another fun post that I love Super Sandra!😍 Hugs 🤗
That was supposed to say HH, not HE. So sorry 😞
Every desk should have one or two cats:)
Thank you, dear Elizabeth;)
Critters do enrich our lives for sure.
Thank you:) Yup, it's what he does:)
Cheers,
Loved the pictures and poem. He captured the snowy silence so perfectly. I was standing next to him seeing it too! Xo
Cats rule indeed, especially when it comes to flowers. None on the dining room table or desk here either.
I love the idea of family photos and photos of you and Danny Boy on your desk.
Hope your day is glorious.
It is nice to remember. What a great idea.
I do everything on a smartphone so I no longer need a desk
Right there with ya, Natalie. Though, if I had a good spot I wouldn't mind having one again.
I didn't attempt tomatoes either. Mine popped up in the mulch pile. Heh.
Oh, I love acorn squash. Enjoy some for me:)
I here ya. After a respite, I'm going to have to start watering again. Sigh.
Glad you liked the poem:)
Fool Lizzie once, shame on you. Fool Lizzie twice, shame on Lizzie:)
Loved the post Sandra
Is that Frank? Looks like he found a comfy corner. Congrats to HH. On my desk, assorted art supplies, a journal, one of the peace lilies that got transplanted, Godzilla, a solar dancing Halloween kitty, and my writing gloves.

Hi there, Wallace;)

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Denise:) He does a good job, doesn't he?

Thanks, Azka:)
Yup, that's the boy.
Sounds like that desk contains all the necessities that sustain us.
lindo poema en mi escritorio tengo dulces. Te mando un beso
Glad you like it, FSG:)
Cats do own the desks, among all the rest of the furniture, don't they?
My garden is winding down too. Unfortunately, the weeds are still thriving:)
Take special care.
What a great post Sandra! I want a kitty on my desk and a dog beside me! LOL! I love your garden photos and that poem is amazing! Loved it! Big Hugs!
I'm glad, Jan:)
You have a good week too.
Sweets on your desk. I like that;)
Hugs
Why thanks, Stacy:) Appreciate hearing that.
Big hugs received and returned.
Oooh pretty flower! :)
Zinnias, tons of them, so colorful. Nothing says summer like zinnias. Well, maybe sunflowers and black-eyed Susans too. And then there are blue cornflowers plus.....!!!
