Heard whistle of a
wood duck as it lifted from
the swamp this morning.

Morning chores include
washing the evening dishes –
I don’t mind (she said).

MacDuff caught a duck –
put it in the freezer for
Thanksgiving hors d’oeurves.

Early morning walk
takes me to the nearby swamp –
sunrise, ducks, and geese.

sunrise on the swamp

Lansing girls advance –
Chenango Forks choked when they
met them yesterday.

Terrible events
unfold in Ft. Hood, Texas –
people asking, “why?”

Giant jellyfish
sink a trawler in Japan –
Holy Canarsie!

Striped socks, plaid PJ
pants, stained t-shirt. Such a fine
work-at-home outfit.
