Visited the eye doctor for the first time in 2 years. Always very stressful-- several vision problems.
After, I slept for 3+ hours.
Anyway, here is my cat playing with the banana I was trying to eat yesterday.

Today is our 11th anniversary. To celebrate, we took a pottery class. Our pots were... well, they aspire to a pleasing form.

Photos from @nicolekenleymiller.bsky.social 's show in Italy last week-- Le Gare Generose. An 18th century opera, but she updated it to the Edwardian period.

Our last day in Italy -- in Florence, we visited the Galileo Museum (really, on the history of science).
I don't really understand what this 17th century object is, but it seems to be trying to say something interesting.

We just had a nice Indian (not Italian!) lunch in Florence. I think we're ready to go home... It has been a month!
Last night we watched a Fellini film on our hotel room.

Sweeping our Italian flat, washing towels and sheets.
The rooster asserts himself outside.
Books packed, and the few poems I wrote here.
We'll go have lunch in town, then head out.
Here's a shot from the opera cast/orchrstra party we hosted last night.

I worked on a new project today-- a collection in flash (and maybe it can get a little weird).
Not sure I believe in it yet, but I am trying.

Feeling a little lost, far from home, far from inspiration. The ominous storm over Urbania has already passed, but while it lasted, I said: "These clouds speak my mind."

We finished out our spring garden, and have planted sweet potatoes for the summer.
The last of our spring greens...
And, for people gathering today, holding you in the light.

Breakfast listening-- a sequel to Zorn's Suite for Piano. A bit of Bill Evans dreaminess with a healthy dash of chamber trio drama.
