More waves: 5 days ago I was walking down there
Ilfracombe
Boiler once used to pump sea water to the bath house

Tunnels beach tunnels, carved out by Welsh miners
Waves at the women’s beach
Tunnels beach, Ilfracombe
The stripes are so silky
The shininess is not coming through
Perfectly round and flat: the ultimate skipping stone
Slate influenced by water

Ghost Ranch
Such a lovely day!
Two minutes later,
The hummers find the feeder.
I could watch for hours.

Minneapolis
And now I cannot remember how I would
have had it. It is not a conduit (confluence?) but a place.
The place, of movement and an order.
The place of old order.
But the tail end of the movement is new.
Driving us to say what we are thinking.
It is so much like a beach after all, where you stand
and think of going no further.
And it is good when you get to no further.
It is like a reason that picks you up and
places you where you always wanted to be.
This far, it is fair to be crossing, to have crossed.
Then there is no promise in the other.
Here it is. Steel and air, a mottled presence,
small panacea
and lucky for us.
And then it got very cool.

When I study cards,
I curve them. He now calls me
The Card Punisher.

It's freaking awesome
Singing in a huge chorus!

At dress rehearsal,
At last, NAILED the saltandos!
Cue triumphant grin.

At least 5 cop cars,
EMT en route. I won't
Know what happened here.

Scraps of cloth for quilts,
Laughter, music, food, and talk.
Thinking of Ardy.
From Wendy: Ah...the lady of the house taking in a moment of leisure.....

Ice-cold ale after
Three hours of sweaty yard work...
Thanks to the neighbors!

glancing through the recent posts, i detect a distinctly whiny note. and really, i'm feeling quite happy. maybe the G&T on the deck helps. and the dog looking at me w/ adoration. (and what about the husband?! well, he made me the drink)
now that the sun is shining, i have another sore throat. wrong wrong wrong. (did i catch it from the star trek crowd?)
