This evening I tracked down the textual source for a recording of the story of Clytie that I loved as a child; it's from Flora J. Cooke's expanded (1919/1922) edition of Nature Myths and Stories. (The story was included, without citation, on a Disney record narrated by Rica Moore, which I wrote about back in September 2017.)
5/23: Sappho & Clytie
This morning I was thinking about Anya Leonard's Sappho: The Lost Poetess, a picturebook presentation of Sappho that is intriguingly problematic. I kind of can't stop thinking about it, as if it's a puzzle I need to solve.
5/22: on their way home
There's only an hour and a half left in the day, but before it ends Chris and Tilde will be back from the after-hours animal clinic in Little Rock. (It sounds like tests show that Tilde has a UTI, so of all the things it could have been, that seems manageable.)
5/21: driving
...to Little Rock this morning to drop a friend off at the airport. It's not far (40 miles each way), but these days I rarely do more than drive around town, so it felt good to be on the road.
5/20: finding
...a small Lego block that was missing from Celery, a Lego horse I found years ago, abandoned in a parking lot. Celery now lives in my car, and somehow the small piece got knocked out. I must have found it in the past and put it in a "I'll put it here so I don't forget it" place, and then I forgot it.
5/19: mending
...a library book that came apart in my hands. I could tell that it had already been mended once but with a kind of glue that didn't bond with the paper, so it just popped apart. I'm hoping that my fix lasts longer.
5/18: reformatting
...my cv. It's been in need of an overhaul--for a cleaner look--for quite some time. And now it has one.
5/17: Emma the Cat
...grooming Simon the Cat. Simon is not-entirely-tame and sometimes isn't very nice to Emma. Emma was nice to him anyway.
