My small study on the second floor is my view of the seasons when I read print journals and books. A comfortable chair, a lamp, a desk by the window, a plant, and a bookcase. File cabinets. The back yard is the view – sky, clouds, light, trees, birds. The lamp was a gift from Karl and has a small table and place for books.
This morning, I thought I’d see if over time a collection that pictures the seasons has grown. I post in an everyday way here. For this post, I reviewed my archives from January 2020 – August 2020.
new day
in my older life
sun on evergreens
winter storm Sunday
a day to read poems
and enjoy the images,
language, and craft
with my heart
From February 9, 2020
Monday afternoon
in March
sun fills a bookcase
from my father
From March 29, 2020
grey sky
mourning dove
on a birch tree branch
time with the Psalms
a dove on the branch
pictures a poem
evergreen branches
with grey clouds
and blue sky
praying the Psalms
From May 11, 2020
trees have grown
and summer is here
the view where I read
is more green than sky
From June 22, 2020
July days go by
this year’s leaves
in sun and wind
reading a poem
or two from a new book *
and the sky, wind,
and trees in the yard
almost September
