"How To Live In Buffalo Country" by Don Welch

Bless the wind.

Listen to at least 

three languages

the country's, the township's

your house

Love distance like

a loon, read stones

make wildflowers

familiar

Live in this place 

hoping to get there.

Friday night out

October evening along a gravel road 

Crawford Count Kansas

Indian summer evening, the lake as smooth as glass. A Heddon Big Hopper that the young bass are crazy for. Coots. Blue Heron. Sandwiches and quiet.  Thoughts of my mother who recently passed. My wife working a puzzle book, looks up an says "Its just beautiful here isn't it?" The road home at dusk. Three scissor tail fly catchers on an power line, I thought they would have  moved on by now. The shadows of deer in the fading light.

Art in the Park.

A few photos from my wife's booth over at "Art in The Park" this past weekend.

She sold almost all of her work.

She titled this piece "Menopausal Madness" It brought lots of good comments.

She would even hold your dog for you if you wanted a photo or two.
For me the biggest thrill was seeing folks of all ages break into smiles as they came around the bend and saw her work.

Bluegrass Evening

Saturday night I wandered over to the county lake because I had heard a rumor there was to be bluegrass music and a chili cook off happening. Well I arrived to late for the chili but was thrilled I didn't miss the music.

This time of year the fall music festivals begin, the really big one was over in Winfield this week. For 30 years I have sworn "next year Ill get there", never have. The three bands that were cookin here tonight filled the warm late summer evening with some sweet music.

"Whiskey on Sunday", "The Wildwood Flower", and John Prine's "Paradise" were some of the favorites tonight. Not exactly Winfield but not too shabby at all.
