On January 1st 2020 I was at a party whose theme was Skylarking. The Intolerable lack of seriousness. We were talking about how we might spend the coming year practicing the fine art of Skylarking. How naïve and innocent that seems now.And, so far 2021 is turning out to not have much room for such behavior. Perhaps we can at least enjoy the flights and songs of birds. Today a blue Jay busied herself around the yard. These images and cogitation are for Becky’s Square Up who had a lark on her post earlier this week and Six Word Saturday

A lovely jay, and I’m all for enjoying the flight and songs of birds.

PS we also use the phrase larking about, but as you see we’ve dropped the sky! Fascinating how language evolves 🙂

I had heard larking before but not skylarking.This group of friends looked up and shared all kinds of interesting facts about skylarking at the party. What fun we had. It was a lark you might say 🪶

What a lovely post! I like the lady with the candles and the way that appears in the Header 🙂 🙂 We don’t seem to’ve made very much progress, do we, but people are putting a lot of faith and energy into vaccines. Have a good weekend! I’m sure you can manage a small skylark 🙂
