Eleven months of the year on the road with you, my dear

[sovay]

I did not dream that I discovered a book of short stories by Lloyd Alexander; it just existed in the children's library collection of the church where part of the dream was taking place. It was from the mid-'80's and had little sandy-looking pen-and-ink illustrations like chapter headings. I remembering being particularly struck by the one for Vesper Holly.

I am awake at this hour because I'm going to be part of this parade: "Reclaim the Streets for Horns, Bikes, and Feet!" The last time I was in a parade, I was still in the Girl Scouts. This time, I got invited by old-time radio people. I have dressed accordingly. I hope someone takes photographs.

It's always good fun to visit Dream's library. Such an interesting collection, and the rare book section is something else.

It seems to be the weekend for bike/music festivals. There was one going by outside the front door this morning; I joined in with the borrowed backpackers' suitably festive fixie (bright yellow & purple). Hoping also for photos!

I do get a lot of dream books, although I think I get more dream theater and movies. Also, occasionally, art, which I really resent not being able to reproduce.

Nice! I was instructed by strange_selkie to look out for a brass-playing friend with a Dutch cargo bike, but I'm afraid mostly I saw a buffalo-thing on wheels. (To be fair, it was awesome.)

Hoping also for photos!

Will keep you posted!
