I couldn’t resist including this Purple Prose;
Purple Prose
Grandma grinds plums in her conical grinder, shredding the flesh from the pits. Under the table, my little brother sits, purple around his mouth from taste-testing the plums he no doubt earlier helped her pick. A stream of sugar on the table is a roadway for tiny black ants.
My father pushes a cooling cup of Postum closer to my grandmother as he resumes the story I’ve interrupted. It is another “Deafy Sterner” story, and he emulates the high explosive accent of this man from his past that I’ve never met, yet know so well.
I dash to my room, having just minutes to prepare for the dance before my car full of friends arrives, honking the horn. My Grandmother begins another story about the old country as I tear off my school jeans. I dress in their stories—patterned and purple as night.
For Sunday Stills, the challenge is any color of purple.

This picture might be a bit hard to interpret. I am actually taking a photo from my desk, looking out to the lights strung from the Virginia Creeper hanging down from the roofline. The room behind me is reflected in the glass. I love this photo and love these lights Yolanda and Pasiano insisted on stringing up for me. I like them so much that althought we’ve taken the tree and all the other decorations down, I can’t stand to take these down.

This guy was for real. He wandered the beach with this squirrel couple on his head and shoulder. They later had a baby who traveled with them as well. Gotta run now but later I’ll try to find a photo of the entire happy family.
