landscaping deliveries
the back-up chimes
of a yo-yo retailer
today’s high: 79
sweatshirt, a few haggard holes
mapped to the season’s first pair of shorts
the slightest chill, apprehensions of warmth
washed my bedding today…
kaffe fassett color
quilt dries deliciously
in the morning breeze
NOTE: Kaffe Fassett (‘kaffe’ rhymes with ‘safe’!) is a fabric icon to thousands (millions?!?) of quilting enthusiasts. I adore his inspired patterns, colors and designs.
uneven
softer words
interspersed with unkind moments
my jagged edges
a joyful task
birdbath planter
scattered greenery
robin-chorus crescendo
a little ibuprofen chaser
seven 20 lb concrete blocks
subtle reminders to husband unheeded
so, I just moved them all myself
the tide
warmth envelops my body
I tell myself
it’s time to be good
to who I am
another rough night
crashing into morning
one foot hits the floor
I still need to sleep
meteorological
dark-blue expanse
northern sky emboldened
cold front moving in
