Blushing peach glimpsed through
willow fronds, night rendezvous –
warm autumn winds sigh…
Dusk gives way to pink sunrise.
Cool dew-covered limbs entwine.
Grace is today’s host for dVerse‘ Open Link Night.
FYI, I was pushed into WP’s new block editor just as I tried to begin the post. Please forgive any irregularities.

Thanks to a comment exchange between Max/badfinger20 and I, today’s offering was inspired.

Thanks Jen! I can see why people hate the new editor. Merely hitting the return button causes chaos! Not something I want to contend with right now.

Return button?
I’ve been using a version of the block editor for awhile and so far I’m not having any problems.
I use a laptop though.

return button = enter key. Why does it have to pull up a whole taskbar when you hit enter? Is there a way to avoid/bypass it?
LikeLiked by 1 person
The editor options appear when you click the + sign.
I’m confused
Are you using a phone?

I clicked the + sign and chose “classic” and started typing, but when I hit the return key it throws up an “edit task bar” in the middle of what I’m typing. No I use a PC.

Because that’s what you get when you hit the classic button.
Try using the side controls. Click on the button at the top right and it shows text size & color options Plus That’s the block editor it says so LOL
sheesh I dunno. Hoping that helped.

The moon and willow speaks to my heart. Today, I went for a walk and a giant hawk landed in the willow tree before me. It was surreal to see a bird of that magnitude in a willow tree. I am still pondering it symbolically.

That would be a sight to see. I see hawk as symbol of blessings and strength and the willow as grace and giving.
