Classic Colorado

fall aspens: golden

it’s worth the annual drive

and finding our path

Bonsai Wishes

small measures of growth

found in homework submitted

and cut junipers

could we win it back?

the country that we have lost?

trimmed, but at what cost?

No Silver Linings

i just want waffles

covered in candied berries

not today’s bad news

Nothing Dead about this Pool

a boy of few words

so happy for a costume

(his childhood lost)

Deck the Windows

reaching for sunrays

as all Coloradoans

(my tropical babe)

Give it to Me

we finally caved

and gave Seinfeld our money

we just need to laugh

Trapped in Technology

head down, overwhelmed:

it’s hard to make solutions

for his new world

Garden Every Moment

instructions, really?

i’ll pour it into a pan

and hope for the best

zucchini: the best.

it will make anything work

(yes, like my husband)

can you imagine?

finding this at age nineteen?

this gem of a love?

why, yes, that’s a bloom

after a summer snowstorm

they both still love me

Frosted, Ready

first zucchini bread

(waiting for winter like me)

the sweetest present

It’s True

true… at forty-two

i shouldn’t still have this hair.

but i do. i do.
