In a dark second floor bedroom is this fabulous face.
The room was so dark and the colours of the painting so dark that some of the pics came out almost black.
It was quite the shock to my senses,
When I turned 180 degrees around, and saw this.
View of when you come out of the room, to go down the stairs. The black w/ green motif doorway on the right,
….. is a bathroom.

I told you I had a surprise for you on my stop of your Simple Pleasures book tour. All I had to do was pick 1 Bryan Ferry song. This turned out to be most difficult, overwhelming. Better late than never!

Welcome to the final stop of the Simple Pleasures blog tour!
Liz –Thank you, Resa, for hosting me for the final day of my blog tour for Simple Pleasures: Haiku from the Place Just Right!
Resa – My pleasure, Liz!

Liz -Today, I’m taking your readers to Cold Hollow Sculpture Park in Enosburg, Vermont. The park features dozens of sculptor David Stromeyer’s large-scale abstract metal sculptures spread over 45 acres of hay field.
Resa – I am thrilled about getting to feature David Stromeyer’s art, with your book of images with Haiku. I’ve chosen to use all of the options you sent. FYI readers – the names of the sculpture is below its photo.

Liz – I first visited the park site with my dad in the early 1970s, when he was counseling someone who lived in the area. I remember that the sculptor lived on the property in a barn that had seen better days, which I found the epitome of counterculture cool.
Lost in the Roundabout
At that time, Stromeyer had two, maybe three, sculptures completed and displayed. I vividly remember the one he’d created out of the tank of a smashed milk truck. The sculpture made such an impression on me that twenty years later, I included it in a short story.

Ruth at FLIX CHATTER and I were chatting Emmys awhile ago, and somehow we got to my predictions of who would win best costumes in the various Emmy categories.
That mushroomed into an interview. So, if you’re in the mood, hop over to Ruth’s and give it a read. FLIX CHATTER has become my go-to for film and TV reviews. You all know how I love to chatter, and I’ll be chattering over there, while catching up over here!
