apple worm
lost her home!; 4:22 AM
floots said...: not sure what is most on your mind in this last couple of posts - the apple or the fall
i wish you well with both :)
great stuff; 4:16 AM
Bill said...: Thanks, Collin. I see what you mean about the "aha," but it's a risk I'm prepared to run.

Glad you see the layers, polona.

Don't know if my sympathies reach all the way to worms, tikkis, but I'm workin' on it.

floots, if I ever figure out what's on my mind, I'll let you know.; 1:40 PM
