Beaufort SC

Arrival, porch time

Across the street

Inland waterway
I think I trespassed
To take this shot. It beckoned
And I found marsh birds.
Silently, it waits
To help, but those days are gone.
Now we drive Corvettes

He likes his brisket
But insists on Sissy Sauce
She is embarrassed!

I have rehearsal,
And we got a late start, but
We still dine with class.
2013
I have been assigned
A solo and now I have
Forboding stage fright

The first run through with
The soloist is always
A revelation.

It's a jig he says
Let's try it at full tempo
And see what happens

Eyes closed, eyebrows raised
(The notes go by like the wind)
He's a vehicle.

Albuquerque folk
Please! You owe it to your selves
Come listen to this
(Barber violin concerto, played by David Felberg)

Sauté fresh-picked sage
In butter until crispy.
Add to risotto.

Cold pre-sunrise wind,
The return to a warm bed:
A cozy contrast.

2009
Instead of a shake, 
My sweetie got me a malt. 
I am greatly pleased.

Furniture shifting, 
And the break room is cozy. 
Proactivity!!!

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.

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.
