Work or Words?
Photo quote de jour

Unless of course you're a writer. This is another in my Finnish proverb series. The wheelbarrow is courtesy of my neighbor. The underlying sentiment for me and maybe you is: summer is over, life is unfolding in new and wonderful ways and goodness gracious, there is writing to be done. Get cracking!

Layla-do you know the William Carlos Williams poem "The Red Wheelbarrow." Seems quite appropriate to this post. Glad to say I did all my writing outdoors today, had perfect fall weather.

Finnish proverbs.. I grew up in a small village in Upper Michigan. Yooper is the nickname for those from that that area. I grew up speaking Finnish, Croation and English. My dad was a milkman and as kids we had to be able to deliver the dairy products, take orders, and be able count in Finnish.
Thank you for bringing back some very nice memories.
