all with just a sheet

summer cinema
(fun with Kentucky cousins)
all with just a sheet

should i post pea buds
or a bunch of trashed balloons?
(each its own beauty)


Kentuckians here.
summer brings outdoor dinners.
(let’s hope for safety)




never imagined
a graduation parade
in a pandemic




the perfect respite
after seventy-one days
staying safe at home

mental sanity
in our short time here on earth
can be life-saving


hiking these mountains
with their divine mental cleanse
has saved us today


away from the crowds
away from constant worry
here. here we are safe.


forgiveness depends
upon an apology.
together, we can.


she designed this house.
my baby girl, age thirteen.
(she loves her kitties).


she’s my crafty one.
my sweet entrepreneur.
my bright young woman.

and just like her cat
who gives unlimited love,
she will forgive me.

paranoia wins
my midday motherhood run
(let’s hope she’s healthy)

for now, let us plant.
petunias, lupine, sweet blooms
springing for summer



a quiet household
while the babies enjoy sun
(i worked to earn this)

my potatoes pop
in the first hot day of May
(we all love sunshine)

today we survived
a line that led to nowhere
(we’re safer at home)
