What is that old 50s saying? "Guys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses." Well, I think they would make a pass at that sexy librarian/poetess.

We could use some travelling poetry in West Berkshire. About the only poetry we get is from the flowers . . .

I mostly wear contacts now, but it amuses me that so many people are wearing glasses these days (or so it is reported) to look "cool." Even if they are plain lenses, no correction.

My reluctance to run about town sporting my admittedly cool glasses has annoyed several friends. I always say, "You did not have to wear glasses when you were young." They cannot possibly understand what it was like.

I shall be reporting back on this event (if I'm up to going); I have perhaps overly-high hopes for some summer silliness.

Your flowers ARE poetry. Everyone should go look at the Bee's flower garden...

Subito! (Now!)

Very intriguing. Will you be attending?

Hi Angie. I very much hope to, have it marked on calendar. Depends if I feel with enough...but will report back.

That picture makes me think of Audrey Hepburn at the beginning of Funny Face, you know, when she's working in a bookstore. I love love love that movie.
