And then we also had a few birds pass overhead:
The grading is done, the semester is over. The office floor can once again be seen. I even opened up my computer, messed with some wires, and fixed my 11-1 memory card reader. I can't tell you how such ambition is literally sucked away like low tide during the term. Over winter break I expect to read at least ten books, and, perhaps, begin writing one or two of my own. Four weeks "off"--clock starts when I started this blog post. See you on the flip side.

Sometimes I've suspected it...but you're really smoking crack, aren't you? You crazy poets. Hmph.
I think you're so orgasmical that you're missing all the BROWN and DEAD in that picture.

16th is Pam at Digging's slot for the Foliage Followup meme ...
I like your tall prairie, Benjamin. I'm a fan of tall perennials and grasses too, and their yellowing leaves have a quiet beauty all their own. Great for winter hiking.
Clever: my garden looks like that now, too.
Am still grading papers, owing to playing with blog (er, procrastination). Time off starts Monday.
Have always enjoyed the rusts, browns & beige of fall and early winter.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. jim and pat
Kyna--It's not dead. Besides, the line between death and life is thin, hazy at best. Look at frogs who overwinter with crystallized, frozen blood. Are they dead, or alive?
D--thanks! I made a stop over there.
Pam--I'm a fan ov anythign taller than me or my fence which blocks neighbor windows! :)
Adrian--I've found grading papers at the end goes fast, though it doesnt' start out fast. Since students never see the papers again, I just read through them efficiently.
RBell--Fall is my favorite season! It really is!
Jim--Back at you Jim and Pat. Thanks!
