A short short story...

Something new here.

Something I wrote recently....

Prayer of Thanks to Thor for Sending Snow 

Earth's child, son of Odin,
oath-ring keeper truthful,
hammer-wielder, hear me –
high I raise my praises!

Red-beard, Sif's beloved,
bane of trolls, grain-giver,
I have poured you offerings –
ale and mead, full measure!

Snow I asked you send us,
sleet and rain plain-wetting –
ocean-drinker answered,
ice and snow bestowing!

Giant-killing goat-lord
gave us our crop-saving –
storm-god sent us sky-seed,
silver, from rain-bringer.

Mjollnir's hurler, hear me,
who my plea has answered –
ale to you I offer,
Asgard's strongest guarder.

Hear, o foe-defeater,
friend of men, my singing –
Lord of Thunder, thankful,
thus I Har's ale offer!

Friday...

Been busy reading, studying, writing... and the garden has been growing. Spring in the cold frame...



Clockwise from the bottom: rosemary, tomatoes, eggplant (in the noosa cup), peppers, tall potato plant in upper left (about to get potted up), catnip (in the wire cage), daffodils, and violets!

Friday...

Monday we went to see the Denver Museum of Nature and Science's Pompeii exhibition. It was well worth while, with some fascinating artifacts. The Vesuvius eruption that buried Pompeii was in 79 AD, during the period covered by The Druid's Son, although not mentioned in the book (although it may come up as background information when/if I write more in that series). Anyway, I took lots of pictures, which are on my flickr account here. An example:



The exhibition closes Sunday January 13th.
