a roaring river
inaptly named Stillwater
brightens my morning


a glamping cabin
ends a drive past mountains, lakes
heaven, Montana



a roaring river
inaptly named Stillwater
brightens my morning


a glamping cabin
ends a drive past mountains, lakes
heaven, Montana



drive through Wyoming
until you reach this heaven
that is Montana




a small victory
using my hands to plant peas
as they fought spring snow

as they outgrew me
using my hands to pick peas
during quarantine


they made two harvests
using my hands to shell peas
a small victory


Colorado hikes:
definition of summer
plush with Columbines


a lazy lake day
calmer than a quarantine
peace (so far from peace).



a bike ride downtown
to this perfect patio
almost like old times


scored a miracle:
thirty percent off this tent
the day i gave in

dream tent and dream house:
they go so well together
just like our family

summer beach farewell
to friends she’ll maintain for life
(love’s in her nature)

that long Kansas road
alleviated by teens
learning to drive home


tent without a fly
for another river day
flanked by swimming dogs
