Five Capodimontes all in a row
Italian demitasses mailed far away
One to my sister, four others to old friends
That’s Kelly’s Godmother in pajamas on the right
Yes, Jim was then and still is so handsome
The littlest dude back then was just three
A toast to the sunrise in North Caroline
Five Capodimontes, but a sixth’s on my shelf
Will six cups be reunited? I really can’t say.
~~ end of poem.
And should you ever like to partake in the pre-breakfast drinking ceremony called “Solar Oops,”
face the sun, put your right foot out, raise your glass in right hand and say…
“Solar oops, ein klaren dag.
(Or a reasonable facimile thereof.)
It’s Danish, I think?
It basically means “Life’s good. Let’s drink!”
🙂
And this just in… for Jannie this year
All of you, you Mothers or not… blessings and much laughter today and always.
Love, Jannie

So, we tap on weird little things called computers
to buy stuff we’ve never seen from people we’ll most
likely not meet until at least year 1, 459, 397, 682.
Kinda like in the days of butter artisans when Hilda,
Dot and Mary Katherine with their silver silk bustles
a-swishing, didst order from les grands catalogs.
Gold hair clips often. And mirrors made from melted sand
and the dust of wind-whipped chariots of uncorseted desire.
And seeds, oh yes — seeds whose children keep on singing.
My Open Link Tuesday share for this week of dVerse .
whooohoooooooooooooooooooooooo.
xooxxo
Oh, and funny what you’ll find when you Google “Victorian Seed Packets…”

A lady out walking her hounds yesterday
did spot quite a treat on the ground where it lay.
The red crazy straw — tho in beat-up condition
to some of her things makes a stunning addition.
her roses,
her toeses,
her hound,
her guitar,
— look how utterly enhanced they now are.
See how the straw sets off a picture.
See it enhance her dining room fixture.
Just how lucky can one human be —
To have such a treasure for eternity?
~~ THE END ~~
You ever find any such awesome treasure on the side of the road?
And thanks all for your well wishes on my whiney last post, when I was feeling sick.
I’m feeling “almost normal” today. 🙂 And I hope you are too!
