Something/Someone Old

Today's Something Old is Newgrange, in Ireland.



Last Night I lay in a restless bed,
A humdrum life pounding in my head.
When out of the night, came a mighty roar,
The river calling me back once more.My heart knows what the river knows,
I gotta go where the river goes.
Restless river, wild and free,
The lonely ones are you and me.


Today's number is 29

US History this day
Sit-a-while
on swinging porch
where tin-dippers and
sweet water
in cool touches
meet lips
from hand dug wells.
Good morning good people!

One turn, unexpected,
volcanoes erupt
Got a foot of snow just the other day, here on the flat wastes of Middle America. Got to thinking of prior warm weather experiences.

Fred says 'G'day!'

Off to check out a new pizza place. Quibble amongst yourselves if you must.
