Night Watch with Elizabeth Taylor and Laurence Harvey was a perfect mystery thriller for a warm summer night. Would I recommend?  Yes I would! 🤍 🍿

Whisper in the Woods

The forest path has fallen leaves

And smells of apples

Ripened in the trees.

On warm October days I’ve stood;

I’ve heard the whisper in the woods.

It murmurs low about the vines

But sound is stronger as it climbs

About the oaks and pines.

It speaks wisdom from the years;

Mother Nature’s clever.

Listen,

For all that she has understood

Is ours forever.

The woods are full of winter wood

Colors gold and gray,

And I’ll remember what I’ve heard

On warm October days.

Why am I so obsessed with Only Murders in the Building? Do I care who killed Bunny Folger?  Maybe it’s the fact that it’s winter when they filmed it - people wearing coats, gloomy skies. New York on dark depressing days. Or is it because one of the main characters is a Michigan native?  No!  It’s none of the above.  Only Murders in the Building is a murder mystery! I love murder mysteries! And I have a need to find out who Glitter Guy is!

 Could summer be any more beautiful than this?
