In Three Days…

a zucchini grows

from a few fetal flowers

to Monday night’s meal

Pandemic Milestones

my baby freshman

how could she grow up so fast?

still such a sweet girl.

her online journey

through the “halls” of our high school

ever bittersweet

Colors of the Sky

we’re home now. screen time.

i want to keep the rainbow.

the perfect sunset pic.

the lake moon rising.

the soothing sound of tent rain.

just being. outside.

Water Everywhere

everyone swimming
a clear Colorado lake
an afternoon storm

camping is simple
with tents, paddle boards, tables
and yet so complex

Eleven Miles from Nowhere

even with the wind
we’ve mastered outdoor spaces
and earned this sunset

From the Heart

lemon-dijon tuna

on a bed of basmati

and my garden peas

even the heart shape

couldn’t win me their favor

though i tried. i tried.

Lake Life

boys can carry two

stand-up paddle boards alone

so we can have fun

Note to Path-Following Cyclists

please shout, “On your left!”

while passing pedestrians

(also cyclists)

i know that you can.

don’t pass me as i pass peds

(don’t be an assbike)

Colorado Logic

two hours waiting

engines idle, polluting

to check emissions

From Scratch and Seed

our homemade pizza

with veggies from the garden

(love summer weekends)
