LoveLetterist? Do you happen to know what type of oak tree is mother to these acorns? And while I’m searching for the foxhole du jour, why does Henny’s acorn have the stem nub turned down and the others all turn up? I can’t resist an opportunity to consider secret signaling. 🤔

Does the uppermost nut represent Thalia? The seeming “T” above the right eye led to the question. You’ve taught us to look for possibilities in your LoveLetters; it doesn’t always have to be an active link, right? 😊
Today’s link, “until we meet again,” made me wonder if you watched Roy Rogers and Dale Evans? “Happy trails to you... “. It seems tailor-made for the story about happy people, gnats, and mosquitoes! 😉 Do you whistle? Next time your paths cross you might whistle a few bars of Happy Trails!
Until the next foxhole, Happy Trails To You!
I can tell a maple from an oak... but a white oak from a red oak or other oak varietal... not so much.
Well... we can manufacture some symbolism from Henny's upside-down oops? It was really a simple mistake on the artist's side. 🤭
I told Mike that I'd just read and shared a writing about one of our encounters. I told him about the word he shared with me from his notepad -- obsequious. He said he always writes interesting things down... or he forgets them.
I once knew a writer of fiction. I asked how she developed her skills? She mentioned an early workshop in which the students were given a simple object, like an acorn, from which they developed longer and longer storylines. In a way I must have been using that approach with today’s LoveLetter!
I recently was reminded of a songwriter’s prompt. Select an object… connect it to 3-5 memories and then use metaphor and creative language to connect the physical with feeling.
I appreciate when readers build on muse-chatter!!! Thanks Gary!
