Happy October, from Vermont, on what would have been my parents' 77th anniversary.

No jeweler, however skilled, can match the beauty of a dew-laden spiderweb sparkling in early morning sunlight. Photo by me, on Sept. 21, '26.

A view near Middletown Springs, VT, last October.

A view on a sunny day, blue sky above, looking downhill across a mowed meadow, with a small barn in the middle distance, autumn forest on either side, and rumpled blue mountains on the horizon.

Went for a walk yesterday in the Pember Nature Preserve in Hebron, NY. It's an old farm allowed to revert to nature, alongside a slow stream that spreads out into a reedy beaver pond. It's a wonderful place to observe nature.

A path through a forest of young slender trees, sunlight and shadow dappling through the dense green foliage.

The West River near South Londonderry, VT.

A Vermont summer afternoon. I love the old trees and stone walls that line this rarely-traveled road not far from my home.

A very old, twisty sugar maple tree and some younger ones growing beside an old fieldstone farm wall, trees and wall in shadow and backlit by a bright, sunlit green meadow on a hill, with forested hills in the distance.

A road I traveled this afternoon, not far from my home. It was so peaceful - only birdsongs broke the silence. I wish I could have been there all day.

Having seen tributes to Sinead O'Connor on here recently, I was moved to rewatch "Spotlight" yet again. It left me feeling deeply saddened - not only for the crushing number of abuse victims, but for the crippling of the vital field of journalism. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPZh...

Moss Glen Falls in Granville Gulf, VT. (In this instance, "gulf" refers to a long, narrow and steep valley, not a large semi-enclosed body of water.)

Timeless art from Minoan Crete! Some 3,500 years ago, a Minoan sculptor transformed a piece of ivory into this dynamic and graceful figurine of a bull leaper! From Knossos Palace. Heraklion Archaeological Museum 📷 by me #Archaeology

My photo shows a small ivory figurine representing a male bull-leaper about to execute a mid-air somersault over a bull’s back. The figurine is balancing on straight arms above which a slim body forms a graceful arch, and legs (one missing), thrust up high into the air, slightly bent at the knees. The pose is somewhat reminiscent of that of a diver, except for the head which is raised and faces forwards rather than tucked between the arms. The figurine measures 28.7 cm. The ivory is now a warm creamy yellow, mottled with brown staining and fine cracks. It is displayed on a modern metal support structure in Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Crete.

According to the museum ‘It is part of the only three-dimensional depiction of bull-leaping from the Palace of Knossos known to date. It was found together with at least two other ivory figurines and a faience bull’s head. The composition obviously depicts the moment when the athlete leaps over the bull, a scene familiar from Minoan frescoes and seals’

It goes on to say ‘the examination of the group under the microscope showed that the figures preserve traces of red paint, meaning that some features were painted on. They also had long hair made of copper gilt wires attached to the head, while thin pieces of gold foil found together with the statuettes may have been part of their clothing’

"It's ableist for an author to use big words" Damn really? Big words are that big of an issue? If only there were some kind of book that showed words with their definitions or if only there were some kind of mini computer that people could use to look up stuff... Shut up and get to researching.

I went for a ride through Townshend and Grafton (VT) today. Saw thunderheads reflected in a beaver pond, and visited the beautiful and peaceful Burgess Cemetery.

My writing muse kidnapped me and has held me for ransom the last 4 days. Over Thursday and Friday I wrote 98pp - hand-written double spaced pages. Yesterday I typed up most of it and finished today, 49pp, over 14,000 words. Mind you, it's the first I've seriously written in months.

This evening, under a glorious scarlet-and-ash sunset, I watched a young whitetail doe grazing in the tall grass behind my house. She would sniff the air, watch and listen, then take a couple of balletic leaps, then repeat. The glowing light from the sunset made her coat a r warm caramel color ...

On my way home from running errands I came across a snapping turtle, easily 14" from end to end of its shell, on the side of a busy road. I jumped out of my car, found a long stick and chivvied it into the tall grass and down the bank toward a brook, keeping well out of reach of its bite...
