little puppy
so sweet, so magnificent
a love that grows & grows
our wonderful coco, how you enrich our lives!!
i don’t remember. did March come in as a lion or a lamb?
tiny chunks of ice
thunder snow & lightning
juncos, long gone,
flown away from here
you can’t just easily brush them off
early spring hike
turkey peas & hitchhiker weeds
tear & snag my Lycra leggings
march madness, baby!
opponents’ hands in the air
hungry for tip-off’s edge
may I have this dance?
will they survive?
front-yard maple
early red-pink buds
false spring arrivals
it felt so real
woke up after my arrest
my gentle subconscious
urging me to alter my path?
we wait
virgin spring launch
water bottles, broasted chicken
let puppy steer the boat?
cashew chicken, colorful veggies & water chestnuts, too – that satisfying crunch
Thai take-out for lunch
one’s a zero, the other a three
our future, for dessert
takes some getting used to
loud toaster, fridge & TV
the crinkle of paper towels
my brand-new hearing aids
fresh from the oven
my own tried & true
banana bread, now
with a cranberry twist
NOTE: I’ve used this same recipe since the mid-80s. Today, I decided to shake things up a (tiny!) bit. 🙂
