An astronomer
tracing
distant bodies
in dark maths
where they fall
and never light
ellipses of brilliance
through obscure orbits
I perceive
and comprehend

Fun though! #craftpaint #craftpaper #dragons #painting #mixedmediaMy first sauce, from my cherry tomato tsunami. And a creative use of wide mouthed, pint sized canning jars. #canning #canningtomatosauce #tomatoes #frommygarden #pints #guinness #balljarSome new fresh swags and drying bouquets from today. The colorful greenery is actually just some Judas sumac branches. #freshswags #swags #wreaths #freshflowers #herbs #driedflowers #driedflowerbouquet #smudgesticks #smudgestickswithflowers #handmade #wildflowersHere are some "fresh swags" I made recently. The backs are lemon grass, sage, zinnias, one has catnip, and the other marigolds and russian sage. I'll be selling these, dried bouquets, smudge sticks, along with some fresh tomatoes and hot peppers, with other treasures from myself and my entrepreneur cousins, @ my cousin Jenn's (Grandma Miller's) house in Millersville this Friday and Saturday! #herbs #swags #freshswags #wreaths #smudgesticks #forsale #handmade #yardsaleDad part 2: Pretty ladies. Family. Some embarrassing teenage photos. And one lucky devil getting kisses for helping me catch my first Striper. Not a bad life for a kid from South Philly. I love you, Dad. You missed some awesome movies, TV shows, and family moments. I miss talking your ear off about the latest cool factoids I learned. You saw me. You gave me your time. I miss that. And your loving support. I hope the other side sparks your curiosity and awe as much as this. #dad #familypictures #birthday #memorial #daddysgirlDad part 1: My Dad died in late August of 1998, and was born this time in September. During that month span, I spend a lot of time thinking of my father. I'd like you to meet him. James Nicholas Lakis, born 1931, at home in South Philadelphia. From youth, to Korea, to rich hippie, orginal woodblock print on rice paper, Dad's own alphabet as used on his cards. #dad #birthday #memorial #familypictures #daddysgirlWhen I was a kid I remember seeing the album art for Appetite for Destruction by GnR. That image haunted me. I knew it was evil and wrong. But this image isn't selling hyper-macho shock rock, it's simply the truth. And I'm mad as hell. Unrelated note: I heard the Vietcong used to cut off the male genitalia of their victims and stuff them in their mouths. #waronwomen #sexualabuse #makehandmaidstailfiction #abuseofpower #justicenow #nojusticenopeace #kavanaugh #trump #justiceisdead #billbarr #disbar #disbarbarr #impeachtrump #impeachkavanaugh #misogyny #downwiththepatriachy #immadashellandimnotgoingtotakeitanymore #biden #warren #petebuttigieg #mycat #anyonebuttrump #savedemocracyCrescent kitty.
