August Coronatine Accomplishments

oldest in college

(concurrent enrollment win)

(can remove spiders)

youngest wants hair cut

just in time for her birthday

my new career–ha!)

Too Hot to Believe

only this sunrise

shaped by feared wildfires

could make these strange scenes

Only So Many Days

we’re taking this risk

because it’s what we both love

and without love, what?

Coronatine Revamped

Zoom meetings drain me

but how sweet these tomatoes

and basil, with love

Cycle City

perfect Denver view

endless miles of transit

and of course, my bike

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.

From Scratch and Seed

our homemade pizza

with veggies from the garden

(love summer weekends)

 

Planning, Not Planning

Zoom meetings be damned

i have this lit sunrise view

and seltzer savior

Cool Down. Breathe.

these summer rainstorms

bring breezy joy to hot days

(save us from the drought)

my former student

once a refugee herself

now teaches me hope

making me these masks

so i can mouth English words

as when i taught her
