There will be a Poetry Fishbowl on Tuesday, June 4 with a theme of "Like a Normal Person." By happy coincidence, the theme this month is Pride Fest and I made a mixed card. So let's poke a bigot in the eye and write lots of live happy queers! :D
I finally finished posting everything from the half-price sale in Polychrome Heroics. Just use that sale page to look up anything you missed; the titles are all linked to the poem posts.
There are three open epics at present.
" Before You Can Love Me" belongs to Iron Horses. Warshirt figures out why Spotted Deer likes to hang all over him.
" The Simple Act of Caring" belongs to the Big One. Pips takes care of Bennett and Jules after the earthquake.
" Dealing with Historical Events and Characters" belongs to Dr. Infanta. She and her family explore the Great East-West Faire.
The weather has been variable here. We got a good soaking rain. The periodic cicadas are singing, though not as loud as the annual ones. Seen at the birdfeeders this week: a small flock of house finches, a mourning dove, and a fox squirrel. I'm still sowing seeds, and some are sprouting. Lots of flowers are blooming now. Honeysuckle, white Dutch clover, alliums, blue lobelia, marigolds, petunias, million bells, snapdragons, lantana, pansies, violas, dianthus pinks, pink bergamot, yellow coreopsis, blanket flower, red salvia, moss rose, alyssum, red clover, firecracker plant, pink salvia, red yarrow, double superbells, white astilbe, pink verbena, blue salvia, Asiatic lilies, and yucca are blooming. Irises, penstemon, and peonies are done. Garlic chives and daylilies have buds. Mulberries are ripe and black raspberries are just starting to ripen. Blackberries have green fruit. I haven't had time to pick anything, though.
