Another visit
2017
A leaf storm rages,
A brown blizzard whirling past
A train bound for Bath.

A delightful find:
A postcard in the mailbox.
Nothing beats snail mail.
(thanks Nancy Peate and The Third Annual Mail-A-Postcard Day!)

a neat video
We are delighted to share a video featuring two of our tiniest patients. A nest, complete with tiny Ruby-throated Hummingbird chicks arrived yesterday after it came down in a storm. We were not able to replace it, but will continue to try when weather clears.

I'm feeling grumpy. 
At least the leaves are gorgeous. 
An alternative.

(Some people make a vow to exercise every day. Some cook from Julia Child. I vow to write haiku. Since my natural tendency is verbosity, this is probably a good thing, if a bit precious.)

2017 A lovely day 2 days avoiding Giants and Warriors fans: We're total tourists. 2016 Hazy skies to the south: I watch them turn dull grey pink. There's a fire somewhere. 2014 I glean shells and smile At a fellow beachcomber, And he shakes my hand. Luminous skyscape: We watch it change and she talks Of her grandparents. Buoyed by the green waves, Putting feet down to jump high For the seventh one. 2013 Crafty coworkers Who share their skills: so nice. I must learn this one. My heart works just fine, Thank you. Please stop crawling up The drain, cockroaches. Hey Portland friends...Eric McFadden is playing the Waterfront on 7/5...totally worth the trip. (He opened for Tedeschi Trucks here in ABQ last night. I think I first saw Tedeschi at the Waterfront over 10 years ago...cycle of musical life)
