Last April a colleague in the English Department and I teamed up to celebrate National Poetry Month: each Thursday morning we had chalk available so that anyone who wanted could come to the central plaza on campus and copy a poem onto the pavement. This year we decided to do it again, and today was the first chalking of 2011. My colleague chose to write out "Otherwise" by Jane Kenyon, a poem I hadn't known before today.
A good thing from my day: my little girl no less than 4 short-toed eagles hunting over roadside fields this morning, but the highlight was a herd of gazelle gracefully picking their way along a hillside by the highway this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteThank you for writing this blog, what a lovely idea, I have so enjoyed reading it and will be sure to check back regularly.
Sorry, that should read she "saw" the eagles!
ReplyDeleteI also meant to say how much I LOVE the photography you post and how fascinating it is to read about the bees.
Hello, Princess, and thanks for your kind words about the blog! I love the idea of a herd of gazelle--I can't imagine seeing them in person....how wonderful.
