Time To Talk

By

Robert Frost

When a friend calls to me from the road

And slows his horse to a meaning walk,

I don’t stand still and look around

On all the hills I haven’t hoed,

And shout from where I am, What is it?

No, not as there is a time to talk.

I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,

Blade-end up and five feet tall,

And plod: I go up to the stone wall

For a friendly visit.

Why this poem is apropos for today! I had the exact opposite issue today – No time to talk, no time to post.  Hubby and I spent the day doing a deep clean at the shop.  My techs will probably hate me for reorganizing their benches in the process.  Oh well….

I finished Nalini Singh’s Archangels Ascension, #17 in the Guild Hunter series which was all about Aodhan and Blue, two male angels who are best friends and have to navigate Aodhan’s dark past to become lovers. Fortunately the story didn’t get too graphic.

Currently reading Lisa Jewel’s Breaking the Dark which is the first book in a Marvel crime series with a female detective, Jessica Jones.

Also rereading Anne Bishop’s Written in Red which is the first book in the other’s series:

“As a cassandra sangue, or blood prophet, Meg Corbyn can see the future when her skin is cut—a gift that feels more like a curse. Meg’s Controller keeps her enslaved so he can have full access to her visions. But when she escapes, the only safe place Meg can hide is at the Lakeside Courtyard—a business district operated by the Others.

Shape-shifter Simon Wolfgard is reluctant to hire the stranger who inquires about the Human Liaison job. First, he senses she’s keeping a secret, and second, she doesn’t smell like human prey. Yet a stronger instinct propels him to give Meg the job. And when he learns the truth about Meg and that she’s wanted by the government, he’ll have to decide if she’s worth the fight between humans and the Others that will surely follow.”

 

Our Saturday Night movie was Woman in Gold with Helen Mirren and Ryan Reynolds which was excellent.
