her party stayed dry
despite stress, rain, tent set-up
(smiles al around)







her party stayed dry
despite stress, rain, tent set-up
(smiles al around)







what you don’t see here:
picking rhubarb in the rain
for salvation pie

a rare, masked smile
his first roller coaster ride
our life’s hills, splashes


eighteen years finished
with this mask that hides us all
from society

entrepreneur
winning with her lemonade
even as a teen

three-thirty a.m.
my oldest’s footsteps. good steps.
intentional steps.

this is not a moon.
this is a lunar eclipse.
(Super-Flower-Blood)

and she’ll be gone soon.
(no early-morning steps).
and i. am. eclipsed.

shadows of loss win
the afternoon shines bright.
(we still have our moon)

the best time of year
is strawberry-rhubarb pie
(yes, it's a season)


baked by my daughter
the sweet and sour combo
shines as bright as spring

no disturbance here
queen cat doesn't mind sawing
from her planted throne

a midnight rainstorm
brought early this raging creek
and stole seed-planting

yet, cycle views burst
with blossoms of spring color
saving the lost day


rock border, hostas,
and a new lupine. work day
saturday success.
