goldenrod sunrise
hosta and orange lilies
praise for this day
home from the store
Queen Anne’s Lace
by fields of corn
This is the day which the LORD hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118: 24
goldenrod sunrise

yard work
water
for the begonia
and hosta petals
on the lawn
small vase of daylilies
for the sunroom
goldenrod grows tall
above the windowsill
bees, butterflies, and
hummingbirds visit
by the windows
Sunday Drive
Karl and I went for a drive yesterday. Good to see the same roads through the seasons: holiday lights and Winter, new growth in Spring, and how beautiful the light through the green Summer leaves yesterday. Then Autumn . . .

winds and warmth
summer reaching its fullness
after the longest day
in the North
July continues
with so much
summer beauty
wildflowers
along the roads

July Poem from 2015
interesting
how a day
can begin
one way
and then change
suddenly
skies are dark
power is lost
for a moment
rain . . .
and then
I open a window
a little
raindrops
glisten
and the same
birds sing again

mid-July
wildflowers grow
for butterflies
hosta and daylilies
hosta and daylilies
goldenrod grows too
I sit in silence
and think about
what needs
to be done now
and what can wait
until Autumn and Winter
Years ago, an older friend said, “You learn to save some things for Winter.”
