Autumn Wind Blows In

Best Friends.


 
Birds flocking.










Who's that hiding behind Abbey?

Two Rich Odes to Hair


I loved this poem/performance by Zora Howard. I first saw it on "Independent Lens" in 2008 or 2009.
Click here:  "Bi-Racial Hair"
Zora has continued on performing some fantastic poetry (check youtube).




Then today, I heard about Sesame Street's song for young girls that just aired. Wonderful!
Seen here:  "I Love My Hair"

I am not of the same race, nor with similar hair conflicts . . .
I just love the passion of these fine young women!
I'm waiting for a funny, passionate video about graying, thinning hair for those of us on the later half of life's journey!

Pumpkin-Pumpkin

Pumpkin picking with Aunt Joanne and Halloween characters at the farm.
Next day, snake man (Jose didn't actually touch it - thank goodness) and Haunted House.
Great autumn weekend!  Thanks Aunt Joanne & Uncle Jim!
