Let's Just Talk, Open Thread

☕🌸🍰


              I thought maybe we could all just dream up a ramshackle old white beater of a house. Like the one with the porch in the photo. I know some people say stoop, but that’s foreign to me. To me, it’s a big porch.
            We’re going to need more chairs than those two, but of course there are some wooden kitchen chairs to haul out. I bet they are painted a dull green; you know that old fashioned green we used to see all over?
            Maybe there is another rocker in the living room.
            Of course, a house like that has a big old kitchen. It’s as big as some living rooms are now ‘days. Anything we need will be there.
            I bet it was remodeled in the 60s, so the old stove is gone, and there is a big old white Westinghouse range.
            In this dream the coffee is perked, and the cups are those green glass things. Milky green. In my dreams I always stock light cream and sugar for those who sugar.
            Anybody who wants beer or whatever can bring it. Whatever you want.
            So, here we are. It’s the first day of August. I pray it’s not too hot where you are. It’s not hot here. They say it might rain on the 6th. We shall see. I’m not sure I believe it.
            All of the cats, or dogs if any are presently represented, are welcome. Cats could sit all over that porch and just kind of listen to what the people are saying, or they could check out the old shaggy yard with its trees, and that little pond that is still full of goldfish. Cats really like those.
            We could even bring our little red Allegory books and sign each other’s books like kids getting out of school for the summer! Think how precious those little red books would be then!
            Ralph wants you to know that there ain’t nobody getting him on YouTube or any of that other bullship. Don’t worry! He also says, he told me this in confidence, that everything is going to work out better than you can imagine. I mean out here in our Universe too.
            Ramona will be playing her drum and singing a song for you, somewhere in the Great Forest.
            Suzy and Toots send their love. The other cats are a little more restrained.
            Please feel free to add anything you like to this dream!  Please do!

            Much love from your dreamer of dreams,
