Saturday Haiku: Before the Frost

Before the first frost

     lilies continue to bloom

     like Solomon’s robes.

Monday Music: "Thanksgiving" by George Winston

"Thanksgiving" first appeared on George Winston's December album (Windham Hill). My first time to hear this was on the Windham Hill 1984 Sampler.That album remains one of my favorites, and George Winston has continued to display and artistic, emotive touch on the keyboard in his subsequent recordings.

Saturday Haiku: Distant Memory

 Fallen autumn leaves

      soften the ancient pathways

      of wartime wagons.
