I had no idea I pulled so many faces. Finally had the nerve to watch myself in a video a friend produced and it’s a ‘look’ every few seconds. 😮

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze — Wordsworth

I’m saddened by the loss in this earth realm of Nikki Giovanni & Judith Jamison. They both were as family members; I recall conversations around Nana’s table about their accomplishments & the pride felt. 🤎
