POETRY AND BIDEN!

 L'envoi to "Blind"

     In the theater of the mind

     The unremitting reels unwind

      Horrors ceaselessly replay,    

      Obscuring now for yesterday....

In the theater of the mind,

Eyes that see too much go blind.... 

 

Yes, Fiorella has started cleaning out her wallboards, the ones she slapped up in her bedroom when she first moved in, and maybe she will try to trace down some of her old palls--or perhaps they'll trace down her.

Yes, Fiorella still supports BIDEN, BIDEN, BIDEN! He has done a good job so far, and we need him to battle Trump!

  

UP AND UP!

 Not much to say today, but I'll read you a very meaningful poem of mine again:

Flying High

   I cannot write a merry poem this year

Too much has happened in my life--

Uprooted from a home that I held dear

And now a widow, who was once a wife 

     Change is not my forte, my options few--

A clock cannot run backwards, nor can I,

Thus I must gird myself and start anew

To see how high my warming kite can fly

   Too late, they say--your day is almost done

Pu down your kite and rest yourself awhile--

Go take a break from shining in the sun--

Enjoy yourself before your final mile, 

   And as they lecture, I slip quiet by

   And launch my kite into the eager sky

 

 

THIS AND THAT AND NOT MUCH TO SAY

 By the way, has Fio told you that she's supporting Biden no matter what, especially because she thinks Trump is the devil himself!!!!! 

Your girl has been checking her art salon lately, trying to dig up what she can make use of, but the real problem will be gathering the artists, especially the ones like Fio, who doesn't drive. 

The big, fat, black and white (mostly white) cat that rules the house is quite receptive to Fio. Sigh...., if only it was a dog. Yes, Fiorella prefers canines. Cats just don't "stick around much any more...... '

That's all for it is to day, unless we suddenly have a nice sweet shower followed by delicate sunshine. Ah, if only.......

Bit by Bit

 Congratulate your girl! She's been taking her pink pill (warfarin) without failing for almost a whole year!

Has Fiorella told you that she wants to get into painting again? Now she has to gather the materials, which is hard to do because she lives a fair distance to an appropriate store. To those who want to know, your girl will be using "Landscape,"and she hopes to get some help from Son L, who is also a painter.

The first thing  our girl wants to paint is a picture of the Ohio house that she spent her first seven years six in. ( The rest of her painting was in Texas.)

PS: If you want to know, Fio's favorite fruit is strawberries, YUM!

 

 

 

 

Yoohoo!

 What should I say

About today

 Except to bellow,

 Hello, hello

And toodleedoodleedoo

 How are you?

 And vote for Biden

He's a high-riden

   While Trump

    Is a lump 

    Which nobody can deny

Not my best poem, but I'll try to do better

     

 

 

Lost and Found

 Hello, hello! Guess what?  While Fio was going through her leftovers this afternoon, she discovered that she has packed loads and loads of leftovers into her studio closet! Now what in the world had she saved them for? Never mind mind: she can always use good fabric.

Speaking of.....has Fiorella started on any of the paintings she pulled out of storage new the painting? No, not yet, but she did manage to get all her colors of cloth together. Or did she tell you about that yesterday?

Actually, there were a lot more things than the paints in the closet. Your girl had forgotten that, lo these many years ago, she had used the former as a close hamper.

There's a sewing machine in the closet too, or did Fio tell you that yesterday?

 

 

HERE AND THERE

 Hello, there! Your Fio is currently propped on her bed, considering the universe, and figuring out how she's going to pop back into the local painters group....if there is one. But before that, she has to check out the remains of her paints. There isn't any problem with her brushes. She has it least fifty of all types, shapes, and sizes. 

Something Fiorella wants to know: why did the heat wave attack us so so suddenly? Fio doesn't remember any dire warnings, and here we are with the sun burning us all up! No more walks in the cul-de sac for Fio!

SHHHHHH....Fiorella is gathering some childhood photos to send to son K sooner rather than later.

Changing the subject: no matter what, Fio is sticking with Biden and is totally against Trump!
