An October Yellowstone...
About twelve by the moon-dial,
One more filmy than the rest
(A kind which, upon trial,
They have found to be the best)
In easy drapery falls
Over hamlets, over halls,
O'er the strange woods- o'er the sea-
Over spirits on the wing-
Over every drowsy thing-
In a labyrinth of light-
And their moony covering
Like- almost anything-
For the same end as before-
Of which those butterflies
Upon their quivering wings.
One more filmy than the rest
(A kind which, upon trial,
They have found to be the best)

As we know personally, a Wildfire disaster may be awful, but it is complete - flooding can be even worse due to water's lingering affects of mold, disease, and contamination. The cleanup due to Hurricane Sandy's wrath will certainly be one of the largest ever in our lifetime - and we forget that Haiti and Cuba have also been deeply affected by this disaster. If you are able to
be a part of the healing process, here are a few designated and most charitable sites where you can make a difference by your monetary donation.

ReplyDeleteI was going to add that since we've been renovating our house full time, it's rare that I get up and put on makeup and fix my hair in the morning- we just get to work. My husband says I've gone feral, which is just fine with me!

Edgar Allan Poe was such a beautiful poet, but many only think he wrote horror stories.
