I woke and opened my eyes to see this blush of dawn today and smiled warmly.
And then the sun and sky through the pines before early morning tea.

I started writing notes on posts to come early last week sometimes related to the current moon sign for some added interest.
Iβd also picked up a favorite poetry book of mine and reread it, A Few Figs from Thistles by a classic author on the blog Edna St. Vincent Millay who is a fellow Pisces poet, Sun in actual Pisces like me and also on the same Aquarian cusp Iβd mentioned of myself, (Aquarian) poet May Ziadeh, and (Aquarian) singer-songwriter Lisa Hannigan.
I hadnβt read Ednaβs poems much in recent days as I explore the pleasure of reading fully and freely, but Iβd not posted her poetry during that moon when Iβd considered as I felt there was a better, more mood-fitting time coming up in the near future, and the moon doesnβt write this blog, and Iβd loved the poem on my own off the blog. And then that moon passed.
From this article about Edna, you can see she had been prolific. βFor far too long, Millayβs work has been overshadowed by her reputation. A party girl poet. A sexually adventurous bisexual. A morphine addict. But then Millay also won the Pulitzer for Poetry in 1923.β βFrom The Guardian
I am part of this poetry community but am not a moderator or changing any profile pictures, but I just saw this today:


As if to say, βIβm in my own m**********nβ moon!β (and more likely an added) wench!β

I am trying again in my nature lessons, not in denial of needing to take better care as if, βThe plants like the fruits; itβs natural for them! The jasmine flowers need some good olβ outdoor air!β No, no, no, denial will not help the environment.
And this is the second generation jasmine found in the same spot as the last one just before I picked it this morning to grow roots indoors.
β¦There will be a rest hereβ¦beginning now for the readers. πAnd hii to any new readers! This blog has been a pretty continuous story awhile from when it started up again late 2020 and especially one starting mid-May 2021 (And there is a blog archive at the bottom of the page.)
Now rest well πβοΈπ«ππ·π΅ππ

Nature can be such a mood booster. Makes us appreciate what we often tend to neglect. Beautiful pics. π

Hi Terveen, I feel the same way! Makes me happy in the morning to see such beauty through the window and get ready to go outside for a little at sunrise. It is very nice to meet you, thanks for coming here. π
