Morning Open Thread is a daily, copyrighted post, from a host of editors and guest writers. We support our
community, invite and share ideas, and encourage thoughtful, respectful dialogue in an open forum.
This series was conceived as a haven where folks can drop in to share conversation, ideas, weather reports, and music. Feel free to leave a note, comment, picture, or tune. As always the diarist gets to sleep in, and may show up long after the post is published. So you know, it's a feature, not a bug.
Pull up a chair, get your cup of tea, coffee, or other favorite morning beverage and join us for a neighborly start to the day ahead.
As the regulars here already know, this is a week of birthdays. The older I get, I am bemused by the passing events of the world.
This song has been an earworm for me all week.
And a special song for my Sockpuppet:
Wednesday Lagniappe:
This song was composed and performed by Sandy Denny. She wrote this song at age 20. She died at age 31. The album cover photo below is of her parents.
Who Knows Where The Time Goes?
This is an open thread.
We have stories, tall tales, weather reports, critter reports, music, and companionship to spare.
Get your favorite morning beverage and join the discussion.
