vienna views, bunny's whereabouts, plants again

yay! vienna lit has accepted "one of my texts" for their anthology, vienna views, due out in october. now the only thing i would like to know is which of the poems i sent will be published. i sent an email to find out, because i would like to submit the other works elsewhere. but i am happy! there'll be a vienna lit festival in october where, among other things, the anthology will be presented. i'll keep you posted.


here are a couple of pictures of dr raul thornbush, so sharon knows where he lives now, and who he's hanging out with. he is surrounded by books, music, and has a bottle of port within his reach, so it can't be too bad a place. ;)

michi kisses dr raul thornbush


another update on the balcony - unbelievable how fast everything's growing! we've already eaten 10 radishes, and today i saw that a few of the marigolds already have tiny little buds! :)





song of the day: jane siberry - bound by the beauty.

editing in, i am tempted to change it to lordi's hard rock hallelujah which just won the eurovision song contest. *LMAO* FINLAND ROCKS!

Congratulations!! And I love your photos. It's nice to see your face and the view just inside AND through your window!

rachel - isn't he just? sharon cannot only write cool things, she can also knit them! :)

pris - thanks! these are two different places actually, the bunny is at my place, and the balcony at my husband's flat. :)

Hey Michi! We just got back from the beach (Dennis made it!!) and I had to get over here and see the pictures. I'm so glad Dr. Raul Thornbush has such a wonderful companion to share his days! He looks very happy.

This exchange of poems for knitting has started me thinking - uh oh, dangerous, I know. I'm mulling over a 'knit for lit' exchange program. What do you think? I may post something on my blog about it in the next couple of weeks. For now, though, I have to go crash - it's been a LONG weekend for all of us.

sharon - congrats to your husband! well done!

raul and constanze make a bit of an odd couple, but they look happy. not sure what they do when the lights are out, or when i am not home, but in a way i'd be curious to see what their offspring look like! *LOL*

knit for lit, that sounds like a good idea. though i am not sure amazon would agree. ;) i think you should post a note on your blog and see what people think.

and of course, don't forget the knit lit project, knitted poetry. ;)

michi said...

jenni - yes i love watching it all grow. last year was such a bad year - i think the soil was no good, and spring was so late. m
