summer begins
yellow roses
in the blue vase
by windows
in the sunroom
early light yellow roses in the sunroom
The roses we bought last week were fading a little. Karl trimmed them and gave them fresh water. A few are arranged in a bowl and two are in a blue vase.
window by my desk
frames the view near and far
light, trees, birds, sky
weather and seasons
three windows
in my small study
how the light falls
on wood, art, walls
early morning
when I wrote a post
and late afternoon
when I read poetry
and listened to music
robin on the branch
by the same window
I look for the small gifts every day. This morning, I thought an idea for a summer 2022 series might be to simply note a few of these blessings.
two red tulips
lean towards sun
perennial friends
I wonder
what today’s poem may be
lilacs in the wind
everything must be
perfect for them this year
irises everywhere
summer sun
thrift store bowl painted
with leaves and fruit
Sometimes I wonder
where the years go
and what the seasons were
they are recorded here
This last selection is from a longer poem, Summer soon – June 7, 2019.
last few days in May
early light looks towards
summer
