2017 Midhurst
We planned a beach walk
But the hurricane's tail end
Sent us back inland.

On the hill above Goodwind racetrack


Goodwood House

Mystery object found in an old ditch circling a hilltop. Any ideas?
Birches in autumn:
Natural pointillism,
Perfect examples.

Can someone ID this plant? It’s both tall and squat!
2016
An Amtrak Sunrise,
Variations on a theme:
Clean those windows now!

Now why did I think of you,
Kari???

2014
I snitch their bird seed
And hang the feeders anew.
Jays predominate

They take out the bricks
And pile them outside. Dust flies.
This is such a mess.

2013
A bright gibbous moon,
Watches through the high window.
I finish the guac.
steph posts pic and tags me for the mug I gave her

Solid contentment:
Waking from a 2-hour nap,
Outside, a cold wind.

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)

2019 in Droitwich An insipid morn. Sometimes my coffee tastes brown Instead of earthy After two rain days, The sun is again welcome Time to pollinate 2018 in Tijeras Another game day: She tries tabu tugs of war, And then gives it up. 2017, in Claremont The yapper love fest: Keeping me from my coffee And swapping dog spit. Eewww. Awwww. 2014 I'm irritated By implied criticism. I don't have to be. 2012 I needed to find Insomnia's antidote.... I made some glow art! 2010 Can't wait to return To the conclave. I find that I miss my viol. Research says, eating Blue cheese produces strange dreams. What explains last night's? 2009 Two nights ago, I watched a Judge Judy episode about a kid's game called "sack tap." Today, I saw it in action. Life imitating law? I write haiku on my commutes and dog walks: 1. Crimson-orange horns, Drooping on spiky fronds. A bee crawls inside. 2. We walk carefully Under off-white, steel-blue skies, Mindful of th

2019 Wandering around Worcester  Swan sanctuary The Hive: the joint library of the University and the town Walk up to the Cathedral Eat at Bill’s The old library, now a museum/gallery Narrow houses Evensong at Worcester cathedral 2017 Hummingbird burst Huntington Gardens Huntington museums Huntington Library exhibits (Octavia Butler notebooks) Norton Simon Museum 2016 Isotopes game After a bag of Cotton candy, I feel sick. Memories betrayed. I love Marge He would rather talk To Homer than talk to me. I do not blame him. Isotopes don't win. Somewhere over the rainbow They might. Not tonight. 2014 I wake up early And suddenly notice how The sun has shifted I am shocked to learn My nephew has "abandoned" Pride and Prejudice. 2009 In the absence of pen and paper, I transcribed bus haiku into my phone; how do i download it? It's the next level of illiteracy. I can read and write, but I can't transmit. Funny how each advance creates more ignorance.
