Road Trip 2020 (Montana, Day Two)

a roaring river

inaptly named Stillwater

brightens my morning

a glamping cabin

ends a drive past mountains, lakes

heaven, Montana

Road Trip 2020 (Montana, Day 1)

drive through Wyoming

until you reach this heaven

that is Montana

Coronatine Victory Garden

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

Pockets of Hope

Colorado hikes:

definition of summer

plush with Columbines

We Can Pretend

a lazy lake day

calmer than a quarantine

peace (so far from peace).

Corona Caution

a bike ride downtown

to this perfect patio

almost like old times

That Camp Life

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

Floating, Not Fleeting

summer beach farewell

to friends she’ll maintain for life

(love’s in her nature)

Road Trip 2020, Day Ten

that long Kansas road

alleviated by teens

learning to drive home

Road Trip 2020, Day Nine

tent without a fly

for another river day

flanked by swimming dogs
