It seems like the trees in CT are almost done shedding their leaves this season, just as we wrap up #WriteOut. As the song goes,
“The leaves have fallen all around.
Time I was on my way.
Thanks to you. I’m much obliged.
Such a pleasant stay.”
Thanks @writingproject.bsky.social for a great year.

I love this idea of wonder walkers. Here’s my rainy wonder walk.
My wonders:
🍁Is the wind leaf’s transportation?
🐜Is a puddle an ant’s ocean?
💧Is the rain a drought’s just response?

April is Poetry Month!
