Sulfur cosmos, bright constellationed suns, call to bees’, butterflies’, hums’ of hunger to slake on pollenous, nectared sums.They give, even through rainstorms, until their now-husked offers have no more. Spent, sparse, dark brown spikes callme, beg to be jarred until spring church. De Jackson (aka whimsygizmo) is today’s host of dVerse’ Quadrille Monday. De wants…

John Steuart Curry: Weathering the Storm Exhibit at Muskegon Museum of Art
John Steuart Curry, “Tornado Over Kansas” Every Thursday Muskegon Museum of Art has free admission. When I saw a fb blurb that they had this exhibition going on, I took advantage of it. The time and effort they put into gathering works from across the US and how they were arranged, with giant posters explaining…
Friday Favorite Feature 41 — fmg inside
These pics were all taken on 073024. As I was driving to GR, son texted that an accident on 96 had a major traffic snarl, so I exited at Alpine to Leonard and Leonard to East Beltline. It took close to an hour longer to get there with so much traffic climbing off the highway…

Purple Reign’s still green, lost in the texture of it; rejuvenated, rain will grant lush promises: wet chins with every bite. Note: purple reign is a variety of heirloom tomato. This is a pic of mine from this morning. No sign of purple yet. It rained heavily all day yesterday, which every living thing loved….
dVerse — Haibun Monday — Arise! (for Kamala)
Arise! (for Kamala) I’m not real hyped-up on the 2024 Olympics. Too many other things on my mind. Like America floundering with the shadow of fascism. Like innocent women calling 911 and being shot in the face by psycho cops. Like genocide taking place overseas with our financial blessings. Like Russia waiting, rabid vultures. I…
