Standing Still – December 28, 2025

The light was a hue of red, it had turned the sky pink, and the snow melting on the ground followed suit. I lost myself standing in the open doorway in the early hours of this December day. A cool breeze held me captive and played in my tangled morning hair. My senses were at … Continue reading Standing Still – December 28, 2025 →

Talking to You…Little Dots of Snow 12/4/25

Little dots of snow sitting on the upside down patio chairs, stacked against the wall of windows I am staring out, leads me to these thoughts. I go to coffee with a friend (trying to find each other through our busy lives once a month). The one friend I have made in this place we … Continue reading Talking to You…Little Dots of Snow 12/4/25 →

Talking to You…Little Moments 10/24/25

Quiet, Light, and Stars I sat today, in the quiet The sun was dappled across my body A pillow on top of my lap Rays lighting up tiny particles floating around me Two kids home from school Breakfast and back up to their respective spaces It’s quiet As the particles passed my face at the … Continue reading Talking to You…Little Moments 10/24/25 →

The geese Gurgling crisply above Ice tapping at the window As the Snow tucks me in Just in time to cover the popping spring But still The smell is glorious When I poke my nose Out the front door It should be gone By the morrow

Talking to you…raindrops 4/30/20

I opened my front door the other day. It was raining. Each drip looked as if it stung the cement landing quickly and bouncing sharply upward breaking into pieces. I stood there for awhile watching. I listened and I smelled. There was absolutely nothing unordinary or special, to make this memory stick. The air didn’t … Continue reading Talking to you…raindrops 4/30/20 →

A Garfield Thought – January 16, 2020

Can you imagine Life without lasagna Smelling the fresh breeze Spring rolling up from under the leftover snow As the sun beats down Getting higher and higher Until sinking again Feeling fall take it’s hold Shaking it’s trunk The grasp shivering down Snow, beautiful white snow Dancing in the sky Landing in just the right … Continue reading A Garfield Thought – January 16, 2020 →
