I bake him a blueberry pie every summer for his birthday (which fulls smack in the middle of blueberry season) and have some wonderful photos of him with his pies.

Maybe in a few years there will be so many success stories from the Literary Blues Spell that I can compile them into a book. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, the pies were gobbled up immediately after I photographed them, and I don't think anyone said "Yummy for my tummy." Maybe next year? My sense is that the spell grows in potency the more people participate.<BR/><BR/>Blue poppy: As someone who obviously understands the muse's affinity for the color blue, your words mean a lot!
