a november poem for the morning . . and sunday evening

november

now it is november,

trees are nearly bare;

red and gold and brown leaves

scatter everywhere.

dark now, are the mornings,

cold and frosty too;

damp and misty evenings

chill us through and through.

busy are all creatures,

winter food to hide;

nests to make all cosy,

warm and safe inside.

i persuaded greg to go for a walk in the evening with me. he was a bit reluctant as he had already been out for his walk . .

but i hadn't, as i was working on the second sock to a pair i had started in the summertime . .

and i also listening to my pimsleur italian which had also been neglected for the past month . .

i thought it was beautiful out, even if greg was of a different opinion . .

 i suppose it was a bit dark and blustery and rainy . .

 but our trees are still golden and haven't succumbed to winter yet . .

our neighbor victoria is in town for the week. she brought me a parisian lavender sachet and we heard all about her movie that she's been filming since april. she's currently in editing mode, and came home for several photos and short films that she would like to edit into the new film. below are several photos from april when morgana helped her with the test shots:

setting up the test shot with juliana and the cameraman, and two of her actors.

victoria taking care of her dachshund alfred, while the shoot takes place . .

 the indoor shoot . .

 
 milan on the left plays alex, and i'm not sure of the woman's name . . a different actor came in for the filming.

 victoria said that after she and morgana worked all day on the test shots for her film, and also on the mailing list, she and morgana would write in the evening; victoria on the dialogue of her film and morgana on the script for macbeth, which morgana came home to direct in may (performance in june).


victoria enjoys working with morgana very much, and i think morgana feels the same.
