So glad you have signed up to receive the For Random Learning Comes Newsletter! This is the fifty-third edition. Previous editions can be found on the blog's Newsletter page. I send it out weekly, so if you don't get my email on Saturday morning, please let me know! (Check your junk and spam folders too.) My five latest posts are at the end of this newsletter, latest first. *** Well I missed another newsletter last weekend. Hope you weren't scouring your inboxes for the one email that wasn't there. Summer can mess with your priorities. We have had people moving in and traveling out of the house and many other goings-on to boot. So writing has not been at the top of my list. But I did produce one poem, Noise, which gives you an idea of how it feels to live here in this month of changes. Not the ideal place or time to be creative, but things will settle down eventually. I think. Hope you are enjoying the sun and milder weather or protecting yourself from the unbelievably hot weather that summer brings to places like Florida. We're in that in-between place, not quite summer, but no longer spring, where it doesn't rain nearly enough to satisfy the tropical exuberance all around. So I spend more time than I like watering, just trying to keep the plants alive. We have a bumper crop of tomatoes, sweet and luscious, that survived relocation, and a mess of neon orange datil peppers that just keep getting plunked into a large glass jar of vinegar in the fridge. Waiting patiently for the eager slotted spoons of those who have an insatiable appetite for the slow burn. Me, not so much. I prefer to keep cool.
