Karl took this photo of the new robins today.
An iris is almost in bloom in the back garden, where the forsythia and lilac bushes have grown tall.
The roses keep blooming.

small blankets
A favorite from July 2014. Thank you, Ellen
as if they could
store the sun
small blankets
on a chair
add color to
the scene
as they await
to warm
another time

driving home
driving home
on different roads
and streets
these trees are taller
I remember places
that only exist in photos
and memories now
and then
the beauty
of today
loved for years
and now I know your name
blue chicory

Ingredients
A recent Daily Post Prompt asked about Ingredients, and the one item in our kitchen we “can’t possibly cook without.” It could be a treasure from a relative, food etc. My answer is vegetables, lots of different kinds of vegetables. Every day. I cook with olive oil.
I made a different kind of list yesterday, for craft supplies to buy here and there. There was a nice discussion in the comments for my post about knitting. Thank you.
The photo is by Karl, from another summer. We went to the Sheboygan Farmers Market.
