Schenley Fall Foliage by truly_tazi



Red leaves are carried in the salt west wind
And turn to brown on dry soil.
The sun is bright still, but not warm
On the last rich gold of scattered fall.
The great wheel turns, another year
Old, bright gold with death.
Bare branches now, the Old Lord's limbs,
Chill wind the Old Lord's breath.

Hot Lemon Barley Drink

Barley water is supposed to be nutritious and restorative. This recipe has lemon juice and Scotch in it as well, rather like the hot toddies with Irish whiskey and ginger enotsola and I are quaffing right now because we have both turned up sick with something, which in his case is possibly H1N1. Virus lottery win! *eyeroll*
