fuzzyred has closed the pool. I don't have the full list of sponsored poems yet, just the early ones are already marked.  Yes, there are still some poems left!

The Holiday Poetry Sale itself is still open through the end of Friday. Far as I know, Coracle Shores and Crystal Wood are still available as they weren't on any target lists. If more folks buy stuff and there are overlaps, we'll figure it out as we go along.


EDIT 12/19/25 -- Below is the list of poems sponsored by the pool. I will post them as I have time. Links will appear in the sale page.

Today I made crockpot shrimp boil with potatoes, onion, baby corncobs, and shrimp.  It was okay but not exciting.  The Old Bay seasoning was more heat than flavor, so I used a little of that then added a bay leaf, oregano, and thyme.  An interesting experiment but not worth repeating. 

Today is mostly sunny and chilly.  It rained off and on all yesterday but has stopped now.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a large mixed flock of sparrows and house finches.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 12/19/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

I carried 4 logs from the driveway pile to the patio rack.

As it is getting dark, I am done for the night.

fuzzyred will be closing the pool around midday Friday. The sale itself lasts until the end of Friday. If you're still shopping the Holiday Poetry Sale, now's the time to make your choices!

Today is cloudy, chilly, windy, and wet.  It's drizzling now.  At least all the snow and ice melted off though.

I fed the birds.  Unsurprisingly I haven't seen any.

It's been raining off and on all day.  It was raining so briskly in the afternoon that not all the outside tasks got done.  Fortunately it's just drizzling now so I finished up what I could.  I haven't seen any wildlife all day, which is sensible of them.

The sky has been so cloudy all day that it was perennially twilight.  At sunset, the sun hit a band of less clouds, so now 3/4 of the sky is bizarre shades of orange-purple.  The road is wet and catching the last light of day like a ribbon of gold.

I am done for the night.
 

Today is partly sunny and chilly.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches plus a male cardinal.
