Waiting for the rain to stop.  We needed this (at the International Arts market with GR friends)
 International folk art festival, Santa Fe. I spent money I do not have, but just looked at most of it. Estimated 2 million attendees over the course of the weekend
 
 2016
Nick and Ashley's wedding was productive of such great moments: here's my big bro almost whapping my big sis as he demos a roll.
He demos a roll:
A wedding brings out the best
In our family.
There's a person here:
My sister hibernating.
Really, she's in there.

2015
The monsoons are here,
Come on, let's have us a beer!
Local advertising.
2011
She rapped on the bus
Window and waved at a friend
Who waved back at her.

I read that bus seats
Are as dirty as the floors.
Henceforth I shall stand.

Hypochondria:
I'm pondering the symptoms
Of torn retinae.

2010
The little hours: so
Well captured by Ms. Parker.
Now they capture me.

After a night spent
Passively pondering plans,
I just want to sleep.

A caged-squirrel brain?
Creative insomnia?
I watch the light grow.

2009
Driving home we stopped;
played with goats, chickens & dogs;
Kincaid homestead fun.

Haiku for Erin:
Two favorite things:
Vaughan Williams, cello pieces.
Thanks for the invite!

I made eggless quiche. It's water hemlock , A deadly poison. The horse Nibbles around it. 2014 They mated, hatched and flew. The left-behind shell still clings. It's a metaphor. 2010 The dam was breaking, We sought high spots. I wake, fogged. Perched, the cat's grooming. The bus commute is So much more pleasant today. School's....out...for...summmer!

2019 Droitwich Appeals that succeed: Who could resist this sweet face? Plus, it stops the barks. This is a public footpath, leading straight to the Hadley Bowling Green Inn, my walk’s destination At this point the path disappears: I take the tractor road skirting the field I was covered in tiny burrs after pushing through this hedge Here I get locally made ice cream I take the road back Droitwich flowers Sweetest scent ever climbing a British hedgerow 2018 I’m buying ice cream “Thank you for eating healthy” The cashier tells me. Progression of a storm: we watch clouds piling up, enjoying the play of light on the rocks. Back at the library, we hear the rain and thunder. Then....hail?! And a heavenly scent of bruised plants. My poor Forester is out in it, hood open to keep the pack rats at bay. Minor flooding. So far. It’s been going on for an hour. Ice is melted, but rain pours down still. So much for sunset kayaking. 2017 See separate post for all the Huntingdon Garden pix.  I...

2020 There is no sorrow That can’t be soothed by a fire And a hammock chair 2019 White Sands Early sandy morn A deep stillness swallows sound I see a small fox 2017 "it's just a bad ball," Comments the calm, quiet voice. I'm not watching golf. Old boy Chip and I Both wanted to doze inside. Young pup dragged us out. At the cricket pitch, Modern day circle of stones On the windy hill. The hill ponies leave, So we take a look around. It's a bit smelly. 2015 Taos hosts Meow Wolf Spider: Market behind him, Striding towards Taos Mountain; Can't he smell chilis? 2014 For a year I've passed a rustic sign, posted on Hwy 14: "Potter, 400 yds," with an arrow pointing west. Finally followed the arrow, and discovered New Mexico's Best Potter for 2014. Wonderful work, both art sculptures and functional pieces.
