Happy New Year! (Four Days Late)

Posted on by Neal Saye

Joyful 2022 to You!

So Robert and I did not get to have our traditional southern New Year’s feast of black-eyed peas, greens and cornbread on Jan 1st. (Because I couldn’t have peas or corn a week before a certain procedure I endured yesterday-which you can read about, with far too much detail, in tomorrow morning’s post).

So we had them all tonight …

Terrific 2022 to You!

Nothing Gold

Posted on by Neal Saye

I know that the poet is right, but just for today, January 1st, I’m going to hold onto gold as if it lasts forever.

***********

Nothing Gold Can Stay

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
