early June
ferns as tall
as the garden chair

kitchen window view this morning

Karl took these beautiful photos of our begonia yesterday.

The ferns are beautiful in the late afternoon light.

schedules, different
places and times

seasons vary,
ages, art forms

I look at my emails
and WordPress reader

blogs I have followed for years
and new blogs this week

and my archives – the times
I had to be away – and then
could post again

in my own small way
I know how day-to-day
recovery can be
and needs to be

time has to go by
and careful follow-up
instructions to honor

now I am older
and life can be better
and life can be so hard

and art grows too
and life can be better
once again over time

I follow the news – the data here and for the world. Personal stories.

And I also am blessed by our WordPress work. Thank you.
