War is a song I wrote and recorded for Ukraine. I wanted to record on Friday, but I worked late, and I had too many things to do yesterday. Les choses sont contre moi! War is bloody awful, but so is war.
War By Timothy Price
Tense dreams, nervous sleep No comfort in the silence Specters dance in the shades of darkness Sprites flash forboding violence
Explosions awaken the gods of war Ares blesses bombs Enyo ensures destruction to all Keyes beckons Putin’s call
While Brandon snored Putin went to war World ignored Bad rapport
Destruction, mayhem Carnage as they fall Soldiers, civilians Death to one and all
Sleep is forever So many unfortunate souls Humanity fails us again Innocents sacrificed For our sins
The Piñon Coffee Company’s Chevy pickup at a coffee show in 2019.
I had not been to the Piñon Coffee Company’s retail outlet since before the pandemic in late 2019. I had to order coffee online at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 because they had to close their retail outlet by orders of the governor. I had continued to order coffee online since I don’t drive by their retail outlet anymore. I went out on an errand today which was near the Piñon Coffee Company. Since we needed more Mexican Spice Chocolate coffee beans, I decided to stop by the retail outlet while I was in the area. Over the past couple of years, Piñon has spruced up their retail outlet, and there’s now a Chevy to pay my levy when I collect my coffee beans in person.
Mama Owl is in the nest! I’ve been checking every night since I photographed Mama and Daddy together on Friday evening to see if I could see Mama Owl in the nest. Last night I didn’t see her, but tonight I could see the top of her head. When I said, “Mama Owl, you are on the nest!” She popped her head up just enough to look over the edge at me and let her ear tuffs blow in the wind. The evening sky was celebrating mama owl with a display of beautiful colors after sundown.
