Happy St. Patrick’s Day, all you Irish! Especially you, MKM! (My grandmother, Marian Keefe McFarland…at one time her family name was O’Keefe, I hear. RIP)
After my Old World Wisconsin visit, we went into the Kettle Moraine State Forest to picnic, and found a spot at Paradise Springs. Except for a group of excited girls walking the loop trail for a while, it was very quiet. Humanly quiet, that is. We heard Sand Hill cranes and red squirrels and Spring peepers and an owl and chickadees and robins and red-winged blackbirds and cardinals and the bubbling sound from the running spring. We made a fire from downed wood to grill our Italian sausage. After supper, we walked around, and I took some pictures.

Enjoy, Enjoy… I LOVE Hermanne Hess but then I would having been a teenager in the late 60’s early 70’s when reading him was THE thing to do 🙂
or even Hermann Hesse !!
Yeah, I had to do the spellcheck, too! His philosophical/psychological/social/sexual engagement makes for great discussion. I can see how that would fascinate teenagers in the late 60s! I’m a teenager in my late 40s, and I’m learning a lot from him!
I hate to seem like a philistine but is he the one from the Munsters?
No, that would be Herman…uh…Munster. This is the one from Steppenwolf and Siddhartha. (No, that’s not a law firm.)
Oh thats a shame…That guy from the Munsters would be great read out loud…
You should do him next.

p.s. I have read ‘Death and the Lover’, (which I’m guessing is the same thing)…..but a heck of a long time ago and I admit a lot of it went over my head…(I didn’t really develop the power of thought til my late twenties)…I should have another go before my brain goes down the other side of the curve.
